I would be more intrested if it was signed by the author.

I'm not sure many of the original authors could even write.

Which brings up the question; if the writers of the bible could not write... then who wrote it?

Leto 01-03-2009 08:27 PM

God vicariously through them.

Wasn't that the whole fucking point?
ignorance

Nate 01-03-2009 08:28 PM

Well, yes. But they would still need the ability to put pen to paper and spell correctly.

Havoc 01-03-2009 08:29 PM

They had pens in those days?

Nate 01-03-2009 08:50 PM

Quills. Whatever.

mitsur 01-03-2009 09:57 PM

I was under the impression they put a finger in a nearby puddle, rubbed said wet finger in the dirt, and used that to write with.

You know, finger-painting God's divine message actually has a ring of truth to it, at least to me.

Wil 01-04-2009 07:18 AM

They had God in those days?

mitsur 01-04-2009 09:48 AM

No, they had Golden Calfs.

Wings of Fire 01-04-2009 11:22 AM

I thought it was Golden Showers?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
God is one of the first deities to follow the BELIEVE IN ONE OR YOU DIE methods, and is well-known as a pioneer in the field. When no exploding hundreds of people with deathbeams or nuking towns full of gays, he enjoys staying at his cottage in rural England with his sheepdog, Chrissie and his wife Jean.

and is a keen artist.

If I had God-like powers, I'd be a dick to a few select groups of people too.
Not really.

Bullet Magnet 01-06-2009 06:15 AM

Primarily to your own worshippers. Which seems to have been an early strategy of the Abrahamic god, too.

shaman 01-06-2009 11:07 AM

it just matters what you beilve in... the pope may say things are wrong, but in the end its all down to common sence, and incidently he cant touch you.

or many other things for that matter

Rare sense, surely?

OddjobAbe 01-06-2009 01:08 PM

An excellent point, WoF, though I like to think that it's called common sense because it should be common.

I can't really say much on this matter, because I can't be arsed (seeing as though religon is the root of a lot of problems). All I can say is screw the Church. They can like it or lump it.
