A Belligerent Design Digression....

Just been reading about the holy trinity of biological warfare...pneumonic plague. Which of course in 14th century England they were certain was a result of the belligerent designer's displeasure. Hence they went around flagellating themselves....got sick and died.

Of course modern genetically modified germs are a great improvement on the BD's original.

Hmmmm...let's hope the BD doesn't get irked by that...

Another example of belligerent design:

All computer program "help" files for non-techies like me. They hold a promise of self-sufficiency, and pride to say that I am a modern person, and then they crush you like dirt beneath the heel with their incomprehensible language and assumptions that I know some computer basics.

I hope that all you heretics realize that the Belligerent Design theory you are propagating on this thread so light-heartedly is the very heart of a gen-u-wine heresy known as gnosticism (go Google it yourselves). Gnosticism posits that this world was created by a malevolent diety, not the god represented by JC. This theory didn't sit well with the Church Fathers of the 2d and 3d and 4th Centuries c.e. who were propagating their own Pauline heresy and so the gnostics were brutally suppressed. The recently re-discovered Gospel of Judas seems to be gnostic work.

Sorry to inject a bit of real history into the generally prevailing hilarity. Maude made me do it.

Thats brilliant did you write it deb?

I hadnt really considered this before. Disregarding creationism and intelligent design for the junk that it is, I never thought of calling creationists to account for parasitic fish that lodge in the anus.

Maybe Maude was really proud of her creation, everything was going tickety-poo when suddenly some little group of gnostic gnats started pestering her. "Choose me!" "Give me that" "Sam took my crayons ~ smite him!" and on and on. So she became gnot a little tired of the gurning.

We saw something on Animal Planet about a wee sea creature (sea louse is what I think of, but a search didn't come up with anything) that is way belligerently designed. The male lures the female close to his lair, then grabs her forcibly and brings her back to this chamber with a bunch of other abductees. Then he kinda sprays over the entire harem, leaves, and seals them all up inside.

The females then start growing the babies inside of them... and the babies, when they get big enough, EAT the females from the inside out. The females die when they split apart (they're alive until then) and the babies escape.

I'm afraid this all points to the creator not only being belligerent but being male after all...

Sadly no, I penned it not...but we COULD add verses....

I think folk who explain away an omniscient, omnipotent and benevolent god's winking at the holocaust, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, earthquakes, and assorted other horrid acts of nature and humans will not quail at anal fishes....

Ah, but we speak of the mood/intent DURING creation, not the pesterings of the creation post fact.

Anyhoo, she shoulda made it better.
