A fundie kid came on today, asked me if I “believe in god”. I said I don’t particularly care if there was one, one way or another. They replied by asking, wasn’t I aware that god died for my sins? I’m going to go to hell unless I get this through my thick skull. God will put me there. <\/p>\n
“Your god maybe,” I replied, “What I believe in is a little kinder to humans than that”
\n“HOW CAN YOU LIVE AND NOT WONDER WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE???”
\n“Created? Sorry kid, have you ever heard of evolution?”<\/p>\n

edit: Michel<\/a> has some brilliant comments to add to the matter, <\/p>\n “Actually, he and Darwin were probably in the League of Nineteenth Century Evildoers or something. So he’s not so far from the Alan Moorey truth. Let’s not forget Richard Wagner, writing operas where it’s evil to pile up all the gold you can get your hands on, and heroes have sex before marriage.” addendum: metaquoted with 100+ comments.<\/a><\/b> A fundie kid came on today, asked me if I “believe in god”.
