I wish that was true. Sadly, you can't kick his rump. Sad

The best blasphemy I know of is what went round like wild fire in school recently. The trick is to climb up naked one of those figures of Mary with the infant Jesus and you sit on Jesus' head and put your crotch in Mary's face and another boy is down there to take a pic. I know some older boys have done that and some altar boys too. There's a secret website to post these pics and you become a Knight of some sort if you're in it. Churches are trying to stop this sacrilege and all altar boys have been warned that if they were caught doing this, they would be very severely dealt with. Some churches fix a video cam in front of all likely statues but it's bunkum because they usually don't turn on the video cam.

I would love to see this. I would love to participate in this; hell, I'd love to take it to the next level somehow. I love blaspheming because I think it's so funny how upset people get over my making fun of their invisible friend.

I asked for two conditions prior to me doing any kind of challenge. They haven't been met yet. I don't recall anyone asking me what the conditions were.

As part of the first condition, I want a list of everybody who wants me to do this challenge, a list of people who do not, and a list of people who are indifferent. Get that done, and we're halfway through the first part of my condition. I want to see that list posted, in this thread or in a separate thread.

If you want me to do the challenge, this is how you get me to do it.

edit: And I want it done in 24 hours.

Imagine a cat that has been playfully swatting a pretend mouse from side to side... and then, as quickly as it found it an interesting distraction... it got bored, lost interest and walked away to go do something more stimulating.

Vinny. You're the mouse and I'm the cat.

Bubbye.

You may be dismissed, Red Celt. Go play with your toys.

The rest of us- who are really serious about this- can meet my two conditions. Conditions that will lead atheism out of the dark ages and into a new golden age of enlightenment.
