Sam, today most people fall flat on the basics of EVERYTHING. Take your 
average liberal such as yourself. It is highly likely that if they ever 
went to the bathroom and the toilet stuck that they'd all drown proving 
Darwin's thesis that you all so desperately believe in. You Libs are so 
steeped in imagination and fantasy, that you have no idea there is a 
valve that shuts off water to the toilet or even more <horrors> that you 
could take the lid off the tank and just lift the ball lever to keep 
yourself from drowning. Glub Glub. Darwin gets another liberal who was 
trying to save himself by imagining a superhero busting down the door to 
save him with just seconds to go before he died!

Take those "students" of yours who post for you with shit from phys.org. 
Glub Glub! All drown in toilet water! Not a practical thought among them.

Only attention seeking pole smokers want to be popular and/or on tv.

Jesus didn't sit at the head of the table.

Of course. I am well versed in the bible.

OK.

ONCE UPON A TIME there was a god. He was a lonely god having spent an 
ETERNITY just sitting around doing nothing. As he grew more and more 
bored, he came up with a plan, he would make a universe!

So god said, "Let there be light!". And so the universe began.

Now after a few billion years god got bored again. He needed some 
playtoys. So god in his infinite wisdom created man out of clay. Then he 
made woman out of the clay man's rib (Note: A cheaper cut).

Then for some unknown reason, god got mad at these people for eating an 
apple. We are told it was because this apple would make humans smarter.

Anyway, god got pissed and threw them out into the wilderness.

After a shitload of begats and begots, god grew bored once again and 
sent a deluge to kill all the toys he had built...Sort of like how a 
child would kick an anthill because he was having a bad day.

But god left a few alive in case he wanted to have more fun with his 
toys. Once again god grew bored. He needed a new distraction so he made 
a son and sent him to earth to teach us a lesson. He allowed his son, 
his ONLY son, to be tortured and nailed to a cross. When his son cried 
out in horrible pain and agony, "God, why have tho forsaken me?", god 
laughed. He was FINALLY happy.

The End

Oh heck, you stopped half way through.
(or are you Jewish ?)
God got better in the second half. And turned out to be a really cool guy to 
have a beer with.

He even springs for free wine and cookies now.

Bast, HVAC worships Satan. He thinks that is a religion.

Satan strokes his 6th grade ego and tells him he's a "winner" and HVAC 
just laps it up. Wait until his "contract" comes due! He'll suddenly 
discover he didn't ask for nearly enough out of the bargain!

HVAC is so peurile he thinks that when people block him that means he's 
a "winner". I guess he's right it proves HVAC can be the biggest asshole 
in the world. And that makes him number one!

As I was raised catholic and am also a fan of horror film, of course I 
was raised to believe that the devil is the ultimate evil. The thought
of being on the same side as satan was horrifying.

Now of course, I have grown up and believe none of the old jew myths.

But if I *did* believe it...Believed it all, who's side should I take?
Satan's or god's?

What has the devil EVER done? What horrors has he inflicted upon 
mankind? Did he kill everyone on the planet except a few? Did he pick 
one tribe and say that THEY were his chosen people and fuck everyone 
else? Did he send his son to take the pain and suffering of the cross in 
order to please himself?

NO, that was god.

I've been hoodwinked all my life. GOD is the one who has acted like a 
truly horrible person. GOD is the one who has delivered suffering on a 
global scale.

So again I ask...What has satan ever done that was bad?
