'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens
"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".
- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "
- Dr. Donald Prothero

I notice that the prophet Poe King seems to spend a lot of energy telling us how damned we are (I'm assuming I'm on the shit list even if I wasn't singled out for special attention). Apparently curses, just as with prayers, only 'work' if you tell your target about it.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

@ One King - I really don't want to go to heaven. What sins should I commit to ensure it doesn't happen?

Apparently everything.

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Interesting... we sinful atheist scum are the bad guys in this picture, yet you're the one being abusive. So in the spirit of "an eye for an eye" and all that:
Fuck your sick fantasies, fuck your pet god and while you're about it, fuck you too.
