11. The idea that God is some horrible cardboardy plasticine wafer?

You've never been to communion in a Catholic church, I take it?

20. I've thought about it--but haven't quite seen how it's REALLY disrespectful.

I may have to chew it over.

If, as the theologians suppose, God is everywhere, He's in gum. Which used to make me worry when I put It on the bedpost overnight. But then, He also was the bedpost, and my teddy bear, and I eventually got over it. I had to, since He was also my pajama bottoms. God is only chewing gum if you want to think he is. Or he is not, if you so refute it in your being. (atat tvam asi.) Or, if you choose to read labels, he's where the labels say he is (inerrantly). Or you may decide he's not an ingredient of gum, labels, teddy bears, or the universe as it is, whether any label says so or not.

If there were a God, he'd be by definition the creator of an infinitely expanding universe, the outside of which is impossible to fathom, and which, based on quantum physics, may actually be a multiverse, made up of various expanding, variable universes developing alongside one another on various planes of possibility. In other words, big enough to take a joke. Especially one that occurs in what, to such an entity, is such a brief span of time, enjoyed by such limited beings, and affecting such a limited sphere of sapients. So he'd survive, which is a good role model. I think the best jokes are surviveable. Bad ones even more so. The ones with a point are especially good for impaling oneself upon, but the ones without are known as "baited". Because they attract responses--like yours.

Although if a Bazooka gum image was used, that would be an insult. That stuff tastes foul. And Bazooka Joe comics are really dumb. Give me a Chick tract any day, says I. At least with them I get the joke.

6. all the prophets of all the religions show symptoms of Schizophrenia, all people

all the prophets of all the religions show symptoms of Schizophrenia, all people today who hear god tell them to kill their children are beyond doubt schizophrenic. the story of Abraham..Dah

and if Mohamed had not been the son of a rich man who gave people food in a long terrible famine to listen to his son, he would surely have been just another homeless person wandering the streets talking to the sky.. he was related to Abraham and Schizophrenia runs in bloodlines.

14. as far as i am concerned it's a fact, having been raised in the Free Holiness Pentecostal cult

it's bat shit crazy. the movie Jesus camp... that was noth'n,pure vanilla. what i grew up with was hard core Fuck'n screaming in tongues, roll'n on the ground shout'n chaotic insanity. criminal child abuse,intimidating/threatening/berating make'n kids 'pray through' scars children for life,

granted it was an isolated splinter group.. the organization where ever is a cult,, based on bronze age interpretation of a mental illness
