Come up with the best short story.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

Beer quaffing.

You can go ahead and send me those gift cards now.
I'm personally opposed to the contest having anything to do with creative writing, by virtue of the fact that I suck at it.

Considering that I'll be forced to plagiarize the worst fanfic that I can find (since I can't win), you should be opposed too. What has been seen, and all that.

Yeah, I don't think we should go with creative writing, but perhaps something to do with arguing a point or making a statement. Something that we all do on the forums (in discussions, etc) at times.

I think it would be cool to see who can come up with the most convincing one poster argument for or against god, tie breaker being who does it in the least amount of words.

My Esquilax would so winWink
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
