Despite gays in the military, cussing on television, violent video games, and declining church attendance, smitings are at record low levels

Catholicism is too mainstream these days, apparently.

/statistically speaking, how relevant is the "lighting to lottery winnings" ratio that people use all the time, based on this article

CSB time:
Last summer, I went to a Catholic wedding for a couple of my friends. During the ceremony, my GF was sitting to the right of me. To the left of me was a friend I had a one night stand with, who is also good friends with my Ex-wife who sat
next to her
in the same pew. Sitting right behind me was another Ex GF of mine, as well as ANOTHER one of my friends who I had a one-night stand with. The wedding went on with nothing happening to me. To me, that proves that God either doesn't give a shiat, or doesn't exist.
/We went to the bar afterwards and they all made fun of me.
//It was a rather awkward experience.

To be fair, Yahweh, while a jealous god, who really doesn't

And if folks have no god, then really, he has no jurisdiction...

I think my being a recovering Catholic (and a few lingerings of old Catholic Guilt) might have something to do with that. In the Catholic church, pre-marital sex is considered adultery and a mortal sin. None of the sex I have would be considered sanctioned by that religion since I had a Justice of the Peace do my wedding (which ended two years later). Between that and the douchebaggery that goes on over there at the bishop level and above, I left the church when I was 16.

Well, to pander to your atheistic conceit (? is that even right?), IF there was a god--or if I was a god--if I was GOD--I would not be smiting poor starving people. I'd be sending huge ravaging tornado swarms right through the heart of Bible Belt America, ideally crushing their churches and flinging pews all over their congregations. And if their dumbass preachers went about afterward saying "See? It's all because of those homoatheistvideogaming freaks!" then I'd do it again next week.
And why are you so poetic already? When did you start drinking for gods' sake? It's not the season for mad mead yet.

On topic, I think God's give a shiat button got broken by the fundies. I mean, the guy's son got the human fly treatment and the bible thumpers are going on moral crusades and missing the entire point of it all.
