"All of creation shouts that there is a benevolent Creator"
'Benevolent'? [/Spartan Laconic Wit]:
Now everyone go down, and turn to page 69 (*organ intro*):
(*sings*)
'All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom
He made their horrid wings.
All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.
Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid.
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!
All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.'
And the moral of this hymn: His Noodlyness The Flying Spaghetti Monster didn't.
RAmen. And may the all-benevolent Touch of His Noodle be upon you all.
Now go in peace and Be Excellent to everyone; not being dicks, unlike right-wing fundies are to others.
