Boru

Perhaps he didn't need to. He knew himself to be a wife beater and consequently his wfe had fewer teeth than he did.

True, but your average theist is so fucking stupid that they are still impressed when someone trots out Aristotle because he was like some smart Greek of something.

It takes little to impress a theist. The god stories are proof of that.

The average Christian is impressed by anything that is misused to prove God, and it is not beyond most of them to misuse anything to prove God.
