It has been drawn to my attention that I seem to be slagging off Christianity quite a bit, and I've only written a few posts. This is sadly true: I was brought up in and live in a predominately Western Christian culture and therefore feel it is my right to ridicule it at any given opportunity. However, my feelings about the absolutely farcical nature of Christian doctrine extends to all organised religion.
As a quick example, take a look at Islam (to draw a random faith out of the burka). This is entirely based on the concept that the Koran is, literally, 'the word of God'. God took time out of his busy lifestyle to write what is essentially a self-repeating, error-ridden, self-repeating novel that even Dan Brown would think twice about publishing? I doubt it. I would have thought that if God/Allah/Zeus/Baphomet/Snap/Crackle/Pop ever did sit down to write a book, He'd at least make it a good read, and probably throw in quite a few anachronisms, just to prove He really knew His shit from His shinola.
'Mohammed threw himself off the mule, just as the missile exploded the animal into donkey-nuggets. He knew he had no time to mourn or even say a few words for the poor beast, only roll to his feet and keep moving before those bastards loaded another rocket into the hand-held launcher. "No way you're taking me, guys, no way!" he yelled as he ran for cover, his ears still ringing, his fingers desperately trying to ram the fresh magazine into his trusty AK-47, while his detonated mount's fleshy parts rained down around him. He skidded to safety behind a blind beggar. "Now it's my turn, bitches," he muttered, before unleashing a volley of lethal lead in the general direction of the pill-box. And yea, My hand was in there, guiding those bullets straight into their heathen heads and splattering their brains upon the wall.'
All I'm saying is, if God (in all Its forms) is so good, why is It incapable of winning the Booker?
Am I gonna get my hands cut off for this?
