The Paradox of Power....

And please get over your butt hurt that we don't value something you hold so dear.  We're here.  We're god-free.  And we like it that way.  If you're not ready to take up a conversation which begins by recognizing and respecting our differences you're just not really welcome here.

hmm,

"Secular humorist" I will take that as "God mocker" in the Christian sense.

"Secular" doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. Remember that bit about language mattering? Religious people can also be secular.

Secular =/= atheist.

Yep,this just reminded me of 1 John 4:5

You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.1 John 4:5

and

Puke.  Spit, spit, spit!  How I despise the way Christians glory in being infantilized by their religion.  

Pro tip: don't leave your little bible turds laying around here without a point you wish to make with them.  Else wise you'll be joining Randy in the bad place.

If god is so great and powerful, I am quite certain he can handle being mocked. If he requires his followers to defend him, then clearly his greatness is over exaggerated.
