Capricious Bearded Sky Fairy

I really enjoy reading the news. What i enjoy more is reading peoples' comments about articles or forum postings on the news sites. this bbc news forum article had quite a few that are worthy of sharing.

articles like this are also fun to read because seeing all those other non-believers out there makes me happy.

4. "I don't know why we should listen to this guy just because he has an invisible friend."

Well what's going to happen if we accidentally destroy the planet? Who's going to worship him then? Aliens? They're probably smart enough not to waste their time with all that religion.

Isn't this the same God who plans on sending the vast majority of mankind to eternal hellfire?
If anything, the sadist must be licking his lips over the whole thing.
