Chuzzlewit:
I especially like David, whom supposedly god found great favor with as he had killed his 10,000s. Love the incident where god instructs him to wipe out the inhabitants of a city so the Hebrews can have their land and to kill everything: men, women, children, babies, pets, cattle, goats -- everything. And then to burn it all down to the ground.
What a wonderful, benevolent, merciful, fairly judging, father we see here! What would any State's Department of Social Services say about this "father"?
Well, they need say nothing. I have decided to judge, and I find him guilty of creation abuse and sentence him to an eternity and a day in Hell 2 -- right next to Hell 1. Time to vote for a new god or. . . wait a minute! We don't really need a god at all. Let's just kick all the angels out when we die and we'll have a new American Spiritual Revolution -- the heavenly Tea Party. We'll end the heavenly monarchy-dictatorship and institute a democracy. What a concept. We'll have a god and vice-god for no more than 8 millennium terms (two 4 millennium terms, the second being upon re-election).
