POLL: GOD IS DEAD (I ate him.)

in Merchandise by jon

Wednesday, May 09, 2007 - 11:56 AM

Scientists have long known that God can do pretty much anything he wants. He can even turn himself into delicious food!. Delight your local religious authorities with this t-shirt based celebration of God's infinite potential.

This shirt is based on this comic and we'll be taking preorders for it until Friday, May 18.

One other thing: it looks like demand for the Elephants Never Forget shirts continues unabated, so I've added the blue variant back into the store. Feel free to purchase one!

POLL: God:
 
 14% (137) Alive
 
 12% (115) Dead
 
 14% (135) Away
 
 17% (163) On The Can
 
 40% (374) Stinking Drunk

I find it strangely reassuring that nearly half the readership agrees with me that if there is a G*D, he's been hitting the sauce a little too much.

Hey, just remember what Robin Williams said. If God gets drunk, do you think maybe he gets stoned too? Ever see a Platypus? I think so.

If, as has been postulated, "God" is "omniscient", then God *knows* what it is to be drunk and stoned.

At all times.

It depends on the response, if enough people buy it in the preorder period I'll know it's worth keeping around.

Will there be an "I ate her" edition?

...and since this omniscience establishes that God is as fond of a good high as anyone else, it seems laws regulating the use of recreational pharmaceuticals are in direct violation of His will.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Officer.

How can you even print a shirt like this? Why would you people even write such horrible comments about God. If you don't believe don't mock!

If the mocking of strangers affects your faith, then you don't believe.

This seems to be a recurring theme lately in what my peers seem to make of american society. I've had a number of my friends and workmates mention how 'off-limits' an individual's beliefs are and the number of things people get away with saying in the name of their deity.

Now forgive me for my naivete and for generalising, but why is it such a problem to question and discuss (even poke a little harmless fun at) these things without others getting so offended?

In particular, This shirt design is a specific reference not to any worshipped God in real life, but the character in Jon's comic. It's amusement is helped by the fact that it is easily misread and can cause bible-bashers going schizo, but seriously...

I'm spent. I just don't have the tel* gene to keep going anymore.
