now you're looking as ridiculous as this guy.

If I may:

Sam Harris Wrote:George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.

Going by that same logic, by changing only one property of god (the physical likeness of spaghetti) and leaving all others, why is it so suddenly bizarre? It isn't self-contradictory, so I fail to see the problem.

John Adams Wrote:The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.
