Your post sounds exactly like something you would genuinely, honestly say and believe, so it's not a good parody. You are a Poe of yourself, and that's a fuckin' feat.
Now that is the post of the month.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Don't be relieved. For the most part he really thinks this way. I'm not convinced at all that this was parody. His second post was probably a thinly veiled rescue attempt.

I caught it right off, maybe because I read the other one first. I'd give you a thousand kudos if I could that was great.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I realised when reading the OP because I had just previously read Brian's post, but only because it mentioned Food Lion (whatever that is)
The problem was that it wasn't particular funny. A potentially good idea that I have seen happen on discussion forums before but not well executed.
It needed to more obviously refer to Brian's first two paragraphs but it also needed a punchline at the end so that the joke was either on Brian or self deprecating humour which I would have gone with.
e.g.
PEOPLE ARE SO RUDE to me when I try to sell them crap in public or knock on their door at their house or even just peer through their bathroom window to see if they are in.
Just now at Food Lion I tried to hand a religious tract to some really angry dude while he was walking in, he walked past me and said, "There is no such thing as a magic man with super powers." I didn't respond, he didn't seem to care, nor was he looking at me when he said it.
I was devastated. Handing out religious tracts is the only way I'm allowed out to meet new people.

The Court does not take a liking to shopping at Food Lion stores. Poor selection/quality at higher prices.
Lighting and ambience: 2 out of 10!
I question the judgment of AWL parties involved in this saga. I'm gonna ordah a continuance.
We'll reconvene in Janu-worry, aftah the holidays.

You took this at face value because, as F&F says, this is indistinguishable from what drippy acts in real life.

You bucking for a report? You are mocking my story in this thread, If you are going to criticize me, do it in this thread. FYI this guy wasn't next to a kettle, or collecting toys. This guy was passing out tracts only. And I never use UBER, those jerks undermine worker pay.

It's called "multitasking"
