3. Not this shit...

[dbonds]

4. Hell no

[DJ13]

5. Which of the 1,000's of deities should we waterboard for a confession?

[FarCenter]

13. The "almighty" deity

But how to decide which one is almighty?

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Zeus? Oh wait, perhaps better to do this to Shiva

:-)

Oh the big guy in western religions, mithra, oh wait Jesus... or just his dad

:evilgrin:

[Sebastian Doyle]

32. Waterboard Shiva? Yeah, right....

There's not enough restraints on the board to hold down 8 fucking arms!

[rwheeler31]

6. Yes

[babylonsister]

15. Yes here, too. But who's/whose almighty?

:shrug:

[NeedleCast]

7. No but we should start that rumor before the Fundies do...

[Control-Z]

11. I was lookiing for the fundie

link in the OP. :shrug:

[NeedleCast]

17. I say we beat them to their own game this time

Lets start the rumor that Swine Flu only kills heterosexuals.

[Control-Z]

22. That would be fun!

Think they'd run out and "choose" a different lifestyle to save their sorry asses?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I think you forgot the "sarcasm" smiley...

Come on.

:P

[BlooInBloo]

12. Not per my views on the sarcasm smiley. :)

[MrSlayer]

9. Curse? It's a gift.

Nothing like some good Old Testament wrath of God to punish the sinners.

16. ....

:banghead:

[dysfunctional press]

18. sure, why not...? he's proven time and again what a sadistic piece of shit he really is.

IF there is a god that is...i still don't see why some people would think that such a lousy fuckwad would ever be worthy of 'worship'...? :shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

19. Because he can smite thee. Durr.

[dysfunctional press]

25. something that he certainly seems to relish....

talk about a deity with some serious psychological defects :scared:

what kind of people would actually choose to worship a psycho-killer...Qu'est-ce que c'est?

26. I heart that song.

20. If "the Almighty" is the code word for the secret organization

created by Kenneth Lay after he faked his death, then you can bet your ass it is.

[BlooInBloo]

24. (snarfle)

[HughMoran]

21. If it is, then so is human or any other randomly generated lifeform on this planet

Did you know that viruses also help us to evolve?

[CoffeeCat]

33. A virus also killed those nasty aliens in...

"War of the Worlds". And thank God for that!

I was tired of being terrified to death in that movie (Tom Cruise version).

[Fuzz]

27. "This is a very serious question." No, It's not.

[Ernesto]

28. are you out of your f**king mind?

On the other hand, you may be a religious nut...........

[BlooInBloo]

29. You're not the first to question that.

[DFW]

30. Bruce Almighty, maybe

Didn't we already do this dance when AIDS started spreading 30 years ago (or the Black Plague about 700 years ago)?

[Speck Tater]

31. Yes. And here's the very Almighty responsible

[CoffeeCat]

34. I believe so, yes...

...Swine Flu comes from the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

It's a smorgasbord of hell on Earth!

Spaghetti! Pork Chops!

Step aside! I've got the Cuisinart on puree...I'm going in!

[caraher]

35. On a more serious note...

If the RW fundies were at all devout, perhaps they might come up with reasons for hurricanes, epidemics, etc. like "God is angry at us for torturing people" (or trashing the planet or starting wars or... you get the idea). Rather than rounding up the usual suspects, who somehow never overlap with their own "in-group."

In the kinds of Old Testament tales of divine anger they thrive on, isn't it often God's Chosen People getting the smackdown from God for their own transgressions? Whereas in their present-day mythologies, it's never them, it's always those people who don't go to their kind of church that God is angry with.

[old mark]

36. God is punishing America for not electing George Bush

President For Life.
Swine Flu only kills Republicans, and soon there won't be any GOP left

and THEN we'll be sorry!

mark:rofl:

[WhiteTara]

37. no. the republicans are n/t

[Ozymanithrax]

38. Only one defines the almighty as a virus.

[rrneck]

39. Questions like that are the curse. nt

[saltpoint]

40. It seems like eensy weensy viral doo-dads mutate of their own volition

without being beholden to any ethical Deity.

But on the other hand I certainly don't speak for viral doo-dads or universe-creators either, so what the hell do I know about it?

There were fundie nutbags out there claiming that Katrina was God's wrath against sinful New Orleans. But when a twister smashes a Methodist church in Kansas or South Dakota, no asparagus is cast against those congregations.

Author Ed Abbey said that "People who talk about 'God' make me nervous."

I'm kinda with Ed on this one. If there's to be God-talk, I'd trust a lot of people in this forum before I'd trust the fundie nutbags out there in Republicanland.
