I can do without the TV, but I wouldn't lay a finger on my PC if Gawd himself commanded it. Touch the PC and you die.

Apathist : kill your children,
To save the planet. To cull the evil in their hearts. Negative energy is abound, it has outmoded positivity, need a wee little blood to be shed on the earth's soil to rectify your fuck ups (can I say that here?). The brats are too spoiled anyway, why the heck did you tell them I was your personal agent? The one on the left will become a monster, just look at that head! The one on the right is not too bad, but the other one will need some company. Only the good die young, and it's been a long while, my clusters are becoming clogged. If I don't take them now your coveteous neighbours will sodomize them, HAND THEM OVER NOW... |

I would tell god, no.
even if I was convinced somehow that he was the almighty sky daddy. I would also tell him to get the hell out of my house and please can I get off of his damn mailing list. but to an xian it would be moral to hack his precious children into bits. this being the problem with god based morality. |

Re: sophie's post
Wow! Bill Burroughs would be proud of your sentence structure there. Not very good for a discussion, but it sounds nice at least. You should write a short story. Would I kill my child if a god asked me to? No way, I'd take the example of the Mayan Hero Twins and kill the god. |
