Feeling religious?

[The Curmudgeon]

I'm on my travels right now, going to various parts of the UK for rollercoasters, family stuff..all that. Keeping up with Fortress stuff isn't too difficult using my phone, except for some reason I was locked out of the site until now and didn't have permission to post here. Bitch, permission?? This IS my site.

Anyway, such trauma can leave one looking towards a higher power, and I believe I have found my calling.

It can't be any more far fetched than giant bearded man in the sky, can it?

[Atheist trolling intensifies]

I can't believe people spend time doing this. This is based, I believe, on professional atheist Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion in which he asserts popular Christian beliefs and replaces "God" with "Flying Spaghetti Monster". It's not a particularly clever satire, but being rich and famous from profiting off of people's religious insecurities apparently lends one a boost in credibility. It's one thing to have a chuckle at fundamentalists, but to go through all of this trouble just to piss people off seems a little excessive. If the idea is that Christians are idiots for acting the way they do, I think the message is being lost in the extremity. Being a religious moron ironically is still being a religious moron.
