I would like to know why all of you people are making fun of God.

If you slow down and really read atheist responses to posts sent to their
ng (very few initiate the posting), you will find they don't make fun of
god (most don't - they have better manners). They do make fun of the
majority of christian posters who INSIST on posting about their beliefs
as if they have the ULTIMATE knowledge and one had best instantly change
his mind and believe as the poster does. That is just simply rude.
I am theist - it is my sig line. After atheists slowed down and read my
posts, they found I was not here to preach, to "persuade" them to change
their minds,etc. I was and am here to learn. You could learn too... and
much more than theology!

Hey now, if we're going to start allowing TQotM to be judged by criteria
like "thoughtful", "well-written", "politely persistent", and "worthwhile" --
as opposed to the traditional criterion of "He just fuckin' said WHAT?!?!?!?!" --
then Pangur's just going to win it hands-down, month after dreary month. We'll have
to retire his jersy, just as we did Duke's (for winning too many times
for entirely different reasons)
And where's the fun in that, I ask?

Seconded. Such postings need to be honored. :)
