God's Finally Taking Credit for His Work

Post by BlkbrryTheGreat »

Whenever someone does something wrong/evil these days we hear people say "God told me to do it." There are numberous examples of this in action too, Andrea Yates, Osama bin Landen, etc. Quite frankly this makes me quite happy, God's finally become honest and is starting to take credit for his actions again, as he did in the Old Testament. To think that God use to pass of his actions on the Devil by making people think that "The Devil made me do it". I for one am glad that God as taken this step towards artistic and personal responsablility.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

I think God should have his allowance suspended, sent to his room and made to go without supper.

I think we should vote God out of office in favor of Zuess. He is much cooler. Or Jupiter. Zuess or Jupiter. Same thing anyway...

No, he means Dr. Zuess. You know, the author of such books as "Hop on Europ(a)", "Athena K. Rooney, will you Please Go Now?", "Far Beyond Omega", and "If I ran the Circus Maximus."

I'm happy enough with humans deciding our destinies without outside coercion and threats like "eternal damnation." Mindless subservience has no place in modern society, nor should it ever have a place in the future.

Bah. I should be elected God. I have lots of qualifications!

And my Commandments will be simple.

1) Don't do harm to others.
2) When in doubt, refer to 1.
3) I'm not kidding around here, don't do harm to others.
4) Yes, Libel, Slander, and Economic Ruin count as harm.
5) You in the back, pay attention. There will be a test.
6) Love each other. Especially if the other is a person you're romantically/sexually attracted to.
7) Fine, fine, you can have one night stands, but it's your fault if you get caught.
8) Remember Commandment Number 1!
9) I am so not kidding here.
10) Oh yea, keep Sunday holy and don't work. Spend time with your family, make a sand castle or snowman, do something fun.

I agree whole heartedly that the rest of you should begin to worship the true gods again.

I personally am endevouring to reform the cult of the divine Iulius Caesar and the cult of Minerva. I am sending an official request to the Pontifex Maximus (aka RC Pope) to have my position of pontiff of these two cults officially recognized.

I, of course, will take command on the Cult Of The Lartes and Potes, since they are the Small Gods, after all.

well the Divine Iulius, isnt a massively major god, but I may rather than assuming the position of pontiff of the cult of minerva, alter it to the Cults of the divine Iulius, divine Augustus, and Roma

How sad, this thread has turned into spam. Someone lock it please.
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.
