What a douche.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

The path to Truth lies via careful study of reality, not the dreams of our fallible minds - me
From the sublime to the ridiculous: Science -> Philosophy -> Theology
Kudos to Graeme Green for this gem:
Dr. Genesis: "I'm not trying to fool anyone ... I'm not sure how you'd describe it"
Greene: "Flawed."
Fucking right. You know he just wrote the book because everybody knows The Baby Jesus makes money. If you want money, just include the Baby Jesus somewhere in your book, and you're guaranteed money.
The only way this could turn out to be good is if he and Dawkins are in cahoots, and they're going to write duelling books for the rest of their careers.

What a great idea Will. Any writers out there?
I propose you write a book ~ maybe a life story ~ about how you walk a life next to Jesus. Maybe Oprah will pick it up and put it on her must read list so all the sheep will buy it. Great money making scheme!

The thought has crossed my mind. My ethical stance won't allow it though.

That's so gross. My mind is rejecting that idea viscerally. On top of that, I would have to meet Oprah. Holy shit, how much would that suck?

I have been biding my time for years, waiting for an opportunity to shove a double-stuff oreo down her warbling, idiotic throat.
"Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven. Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance treads. And recks not his own rede."
Please don't. Yeah, it would be funny for a day or two, but then we'd have to sit through years of bs afterwards.

I hope that this isn't a euphemism for anything.
I really do. Please mind don't wander.
Theism is why we can't have nice things.
It is now!
