I ranted about God once

taratemimaOn an interactive site for atheists. Even one of those silly, deluded theists (as some of them tend to call them) has her days of irreverance.
One slightly stoned deity. Claims to be the god of the Bible, yeah, that one, except she's a cherub-faced hippie chick. Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Doesn't contradict known scientific laws and theories, although she rants about 'reductionist thinking' and is a little too in love with chaos theory. Anyway, she insists that the bullshit about killing heathens, smoting your enemies, getting punished if you don't do what certain holy men say was not her fault. She claims to be responsible for the stuff about loving your neighbor, protecting the refugee, etc in the Torah. I asked her why she didn't do some drastic QC on her own 'holy book.' "I only inspired them, dammit, I can't do the editing." She whines about "people who think I only come when there are ten of those old geezers. Geeeeeez." She whines about Christians "totally making me into this mean old white guy who killed some dude for people's sins and will put everyone except Southern Baptists into hell." As you can see, she's hours of fun. Occasionally converses with children, Makes a mean cholent and talk about the mystical properties of Hebrew letters as related to fractals for days. Won't tell me why she made a creation that lives to do the worst things to each other on the basis of what they see her as. Won't tell me where she was during several genocidal incidents including the war in the Balkans, the Crusades, the slaughter of the Armenians, and the Shoah (this was before September 11, mind you, and she has a lot to explain about that. Like how she decided who survived and who did not, and why couldn't she do one of those miracles. Or maybe I am not clear on the miracle thing). Oh, and don't get her started on Islam. Goes by the name 'Shekeniah,' and will only smote you for some odd reason involving kindness to strangers. Digs Phish, vegan Passover dinners and feminist haddagahs, doesn't always get along with the Orthodox. First manifested in some Jewish Renewal prayer group. Can turn herself into that six-yard old white guy people think is God, but she gets 'bummed out' afterwards. Much perfers to turn herself into Andrew Eldritch. Insists "the Issac thang" was an April Fool's joke. Can tell you where the good pot is. Loves Manschevitz. In exchange for . . .payment of student loans and a new wardrobe, perhaps? She prefers to go from house to house and rant non-stop. She is a talkative deity. Makes you wonder why everyone claims only a few people can talk to god. Now you can claim to be one of the lucky few.
Re-posting inspired by this article and the news of mall bombings in Israel, promises of retaliation, offical bombing, more amateur bombings, hollow promises of arresting terrorists, Bush talking tough. I predict a chain-reaction of bombings with ground zero being the West Bank. There will also be much more of a clampdown on people living in the US, religious right wackos running to Jerusalem to see the battle between Jeeeeeezus and the Anti-Christ, Islamists hoping more bombs will make the land flow with the blood of those evil Zionists, weird-ass fantasies of people hoping to bomb their way to a Third Temple, different religious groups getting in the raping, burning and pillaging early, far right policy wish-lists being rammed through a joke of a Congress, increased harrassment of Jewish folks by said religious wackies wanting to make them 'completed Jews,' neutrino bombs, arrests, 'accidental' falling down stairs, offical reports of suicide with cigarette burns, spying, spying on others, increased and arbitary spying on your own citizens, anonymous snitching, Pakistan and India getting into the act, everyone killing each other in the name of whatever deities they worship, then the silent earth dealing with the effects of extinction of an odd species of primate and radiation with no hope of rescue, because supernatural saviours only deal with people who WANT to live, and who WANT not to harm others.
Happy fucking holidays. If we're not seeing nuclear war in our time, we're going to find out what a dictatorship will really be like. I'm going to hate being right.
