[This is obviously a parody.](http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unreasonablefaith/2012/02/god-hates-checkered-whiptail-lizards/) But it’s a really good one. It’s one of the best examples of a Fundie-parody I’ve ever seen. ---

> [@Brighter](#): > > .there is no god. You are essentially saying that “no god” does exist. That makes no sense, unless “no god” references some god named “no”. In that case it sounds like a platitude. I wonder who would win a fight between a platitude and a cliche. ---

So, does this mean there’s a checkered whiptail lizard porn site out there somewhere? (I really don’t want to know the answer.) ---

Heh. Awesome. I wrote a term paper on Whiptail Lizard genetics when I was taking genetics, back in the stone age. Fascinating little things. They are particularly good at screwing with most of the various species concepts. ---
