But that didn't work out, as we observed. Someone had to open that box.

Yeah, there's always one arsehole who can't leave things alone.
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.'

Why should we take up arms against Jesus Christ? Well for one thing it says in the bible he is bringing a sword. If we were properly armed, He wouldn't have a chance. On the other hand he would just keep coming back to life so we would have to be vigilant. Rhythm, I hope we can count on you for support. Gawd knows there aren't any guns at my house.
The sword is a representation of His omnipotent power. He will defeat all enemies with utter easy.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

By contributing to traffic accidents, I'm told.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

My cousin always remarks how good God was every time someone makes it home safely .. as opposed to the total prick He can be at other times I suppose.

Well fine, but if we're allowing for fictional characters then my money is on the Hulk. He'd clobber Jesus anytime.

Isn't JC supposed to have a sword in his mouth? Freud would jizz in his pants over imagery like that.

Hey, Whatev, stage 2 - we need sentries on the highways. Gonna be stretched thin, given how few we have, but we could look out for the public safety interest (hearts and minds) while also securing a logistical necessity.

What use is it? When we do it again, a new prophecy will arise and be fulfilled by our actions. More Jesus freaks will abound.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
