You know slowly I am believing that the creationists might be right. Human beings were created by God, stupid! - and evolusion is just a phantasie to cover up the stupidity. :-(

Yeah, but if god created mankind in his own image, he must be stupid, vulgar and have a broad mean streak. Some deity, huh?

Given the competition, that's not surprising.

Vikings - we all get to wait for Armageddon, which the good guys are doomed to lose, at which point we all die.

Aztecs - our god needs the blood of human sacrifices to survive, or else the sun will disappear forever.

Jesus isn't. He loves you.

And he'll fry your ass in hell for all eternity to prove it.
