How to talk trash with Almighty God

What are you gonna do, Mr. Important, Mr. Almighty in the Sky, Mr. Created Everything in Six Days and Then Apparently Fell Into a Drunken Mai Tai Coma on the Beach for Give/Take 10 Billion Years?

What are you gonna do, cause a famine? Melt the ice caps? Induce global pandemics, war and rape and disease, sadness and poverty and earthquakes? What you got, oak blight? Bedbugs? Jersey Shore?

I mean, whatevs. You don't scare us. Been there, done that, you know?

Gotta say, it's getting a little tiresome, really, all this death and destruction, fire and brimstone, kowtowing and dread. Exhausting, really. It's time for a change.

Truth is, billions of flawed bipeds have been languishing under a million-year worry that if we jump out of line, blaspheme to your holy face or even draw a cute n' bearded cartoon of one version of you that you'll ... well, who the hell knows what? Flood the oceans with blood? Snap Italy like a twig? Make all women wear giant potato sacks and never have sex? Explain what "brimstone" is? As if.

1. Your subject header sounds like a title for a Joe Bageant book

[Orrex]

2. Or a Michael Baigent book

Of course, then it would probably be The Holy Trash and the Holy Smack.

4. That's the title of the column

and I'm a big fan of Joe Bageant too. I'm assuming you're referring to "Deer Hunting with Jesus".

3. WoW! He tells it like it is. +1000. nt

5. Habakkuk for the 21st century.

Even the OT prophets challenged God like this.
