if George the turnip is joking about gender transcendance, how do we know that George's entire religion isn't a joke?

and a sense of humor is a human characteristic. this would indicate that George isn't a turnip at all. i certainly wouldn't want to be tricked into worshipping a rutabaga or a brussel sprout.

this undecided follower is leaning towards the pink unicorn...

I feel it in my heart that the universe is was created by a giant turnip. If you would only open your heart to George, you would know as sure as I do that He exists.

Sez who? The Farrelly brothers are human (nominally) and George knows, they don't have a recognizable sense of humor!

*sigh* You atheists are so hard to convince. Look, it's only your opinion that humor is a human characteristic. After all, in the Bible it says, "Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed." This is turnip-code for "Knock knock. Who's there? Boo. Boo hoo? Why are you crying?"

See? It's even in the Bible!

That's ok. George wants you to think there's an invisible pink unicorn. He made up the unicorn as a joke, and think it's really funny when people worship it.

Here's a dangerous question: I'm not a complete expert on Turnip anatomy, but.... What makes George a "he"?

For that matter, what makes the Christian God a "he"?

Nothing, I think they're heterosexual. Probably "he" out of usage.

Anyway, I read somwhere that turnips are really swedes.

still can't decide which path to follow.

is it just my limited primate mind that pictured a little pink unicorn as a "she" or could it be gender confused. and if they're invisible how does any one know the unicorn is pink?

must followers walk around with turnips and pink unicorns around their necks.

if a devout follower sends their little boy to school with a pink unicorn they're likely to get the poop beat out of them (although history proves persecution complexes are actually beneficial to many religions). hmmmm...

i like the idea of George being nourished by manure. finally, a saviour that eats as much shite as he dishes out.

No matter what god you think you're worshipping, you're really worshipping George, and he thinks it's very funny.

No, you don't have to wear a turnip around your neck. He finds it amusing when people wear crosses or the Star of David around their necks, but this is strictly optional.

I believe this is right, in fact isn't wearing turnips forbidden ("Thou shalt not worship false vegetables" Manure 2 v16)?

This is very different, of course, from the Pumpkin worshippers who once a year indulge in a mass with graven (or is it craven?) illuminated images of Jack.

Talking

Is there a Mrs. Turnip? If not, does George get lonely? If so, are there little turnip deities? This is just like Mr. Potato!
