The Eye of a Needle
April 7, 2018 at 8:27 pm
I have this great idea for a book! I'm really quite proud of myself, what do you think?
A rich man decides to genetically engineer a camel to be small enough to pass through the eye of a needle. This way, when he gets to the gates of heaven, he figures he can use logic to overcome the bible verse that basically dooms him to hell. Just before death, he gets exactly what he wants. A camel small enough to pass through the eye of a needle. "Amazing, I've won" he says with his last breath. When his body and brain lose all energy and functionality.... well... nothing. There is no god.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a big fucking needle? All kinds of idiots could do that.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

That was my thinking, as well. He could just have faith that his giant needle would work. Once he's dead, how is he going to know, anyway?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Sounds more like a short story.
