It strikes me that some of the conversations of late have amounted to little more than pissing contests, whereby some of our esteemed members have taken to telling others how their God is correct/morally true/the One. Incidentally, this applies to atheists, who are telling people how their non-God is clearly better. And agnostics? I'm not giving you a free pass. I can see you thinking that the only thing we know is that we can't know, and that both atheists and theists, pagans and animists alike are kidding themselves.
So I figured there were a couple of rational responses to this. One is to humbly request that people use their ears as much as their mouths. Some are awesome at this, some are...err...ear-challenged, I guess. My Dad would possibly ask whether people had their ears painted on.
The second is to simply make a place for people to make their ridiculous 'My God is better than your God assertions' in the area where such things belong. The Jokes section.
So, in classical Australian toilet-humour fashion, let's have a nice open pissing contest. Start your post with something like 'My God(s)/non-God(s)/whatever is bigger than your God's because...xyz'
And for God's sake (quite literally) keep your sense of humour intact, or bugger off out of my thread.
The right tenet would be something like the one taken by Stephen Colbert in his book 'I am America and so Can You' where he proves the Catholic God is the best by scoring various battles through history in a tongue in cheek fashion.
