The problem is it seems to me that what you think is what God thinks.

They're chilling together, you know. Smoke some weed, have some beers, watch a game.

By all accounts, some angel finished the job. Bringing the good stuff from gods own sperm bank.

No, she just had to wait for the caterer to come.

Well, think of it this way.

God knocked up one Jewish chick.

Zeus knocked up quite a few hotties.

Who's worth worshipping? A one hit wonder?

And he wasn't even doing it in person.

Also, Zeus had to constantly evade his jealous wife Hera when hunting for some fresh meat. At one point he had to even change into a bull to make his escape.

I think it's less about judgment and more about having a way to break up the monotony in heaven by watching The Torment Channel every Tuesday night at 8.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yeah, the one in the basment and the threesome in heaven are in it together.
