I don't know about humorous but I'd definitely pay to see a talking bush...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Fr0d0 and that Panda guy have a point about this belonging in humor.

Please. If I posted this on another atheist forum where nobody knew me, most of the atheists would think I was being serious.

I think we have a good sense of humor here.

Huh... Well, why don't you set up an example and make a thread discussing something about your religion? You know, instead of most posts complaining and whining about the forum populace? Starting a discussion? Ring a bell? Of course not, it is easier to be snide, huh?
Meh, You probably have nothing 'substantive' as you say, considering most religionists like to trot around about their superior <insert quality here>, when providing evidence and solid reasoning about their imaginary friend is all that is asked of them.
It is infact very hard not to ridicule what is ridiculous and caricature what already is a joke. Have fun in your high horse, just mind yourself not to fall down from it

Perhaps you are putting yourself forward as proof that theistic persons have no sense of humour?

As long as it was nicely trimmed.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

No, I'm saying that us atheists are so used to christians spouting out the most obviously retarded shit about their religious views that my parody OP is not THAT unusual. So not unusual that most atheists would just roll their eyes and think, "Fuck, here we go again."
Yeah, it really does sound that ridiculous to us.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
