The following is a response to a "complainer" basically saying God designed sex organs "both man and woman he". Be forewarned that I find elaborate and informed silliness to be uproarious. Also be forewarned that the Old Testament gets a drubbing.
"Kratoklastes
'design' of the organs involved? Oh dearie dearie me...
Here's the thing:
EVEN IF the ludicrous collection of Iron Age primitive gibberish in the Old Testament is true (leaving aside that it's so manifestly wrong in core aspects of its description of the physical universe that it CAN'T be true); and
EVEN IF Yahweh 'designed' our pee-pees, froo-froos and poo-chutes...
...it beggars belief that the entity that created 100 quintillion stars in one day gives a solitary tinker's cuss about whether or not someone puts their pee-pee in someone else's poo-chute. It would go into Yahweh's "meh" basket.
Frankly, if Yahweh's against anything, I support it: by any objective reading of the Old Testament Yahweh is a douchenozzle of the first water, and if he did exist we would be obliged to try and exterminate him."

I am so getting myself a "meh" basket for my desk
Kratoklastes:
It's an absolute must have.
Also recommended is a "Pfft" basket and a "OMFG what is this I don't even" basket. That last one probably needs to be password protected...

Thanks Kurovski!
*snort* "Yahweh's "meh" basket"
That person must be Bruce Vilanch or Joan Rivers or some fucking individual similar in nature.
Too good.

Of course, even the Rude Pundit does not get the same play here that he once did. DU seems to have become more catholic in its tastes.
hey, girl! Always good to see you fighting the good fight.
