This [illiterate](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=397622) [dine-and-dash](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=397587)troll, with his inexplicable hatred of possessive apotrophes, only makes actual right-wing Christian fundies look like the height of reasonableness. Sadly, he’ll be banned soon, as he’s not coming back to actually debate anything.

Some animals aren’t even fun to poke with sticks. Let’s have some amusingly wild-eyed rants and illogical “responses” from him, so we can play with him before eating him!

In the beginning (of the board), there was a series of Great God Debates that featured **Eve** and **Satan** debating with Adam ( **ARG220** ), moderated by **Gaud** (ere).

In terms of life imitating archetype, we’ve only gone downhill since then! 😃

**Johnny M** was wondering  
If God was mad at us.  
“Who can I find to answer  
This question? Who is just  
So smart and full of knowledge  
That they can show me why  
My God has yet to smack down  
The sinners I espy?”  
He wandered o’er the Web World  
In search of wisdom. Then  
He stumbled on the Straight Dope  
And shouted out “Amen!  
These people say they’re seekers  
Of truth! I must today  
Set forth my witness of the  
Catastrophes that may  
Engulf these wretched sinners  
Unless they turn to God  
And Jesus as their Savior.  
Hey, you! You guys! The Lord  
Is gonna smite you sinners  
For all the evil stuff  
You do in His creation.  
So listen up! He’ll snuff  
You like a burned-out candle  
Unless you turn aside  
From all this godless cloning  
And stem cell babicide!  
Yeh, all you homo-lovers  
Who cannot procreate  
But still expect to marry?  
God’s vengeance is your fate!  
The Day of Judgment’s coming  
Our Lord is gonna shout” –  
But all the rest is silence;  
His membership’s run out.

I’m glad someone else started a BBQ thread about this.

Yes.I have a suggestion. My aunt, the Catholic nun, Sister Margaret Rose. She’s just finished a long and horrible death from cancer, at 56. She entered the convent at 18.. all she ever wanted to do was serve her God, and His people. She spent 30 years working in Africa, educating and often feeding some of the poorest people in the world. She unabashedly begged, borrowed and pleaded every financial resource she could get to help these people ( her nieces and nephews better have a standing order of 10% of their net income going to her, or they’d get a Phone Call. Those Phone Calls were not pretty, from all accounts. Excuses were Not Accepted.). She had advanced degrees in child psychology, as well as her degrees in science and education. She was a very wonderful and very clever woman, who did a great deal of good in the world, with no thought to herself. She died owning, pretty much literally, the clothes she was wearing, and leaves,obviously,no descendants. And the God of the theists decided she should be rewarded for this life with a lingering, painful, humiliating death, her wonderful vitality slowly ground down as the cancer cells advanced, her control of even her bodily functions, in a mercilessly cruel jape, taken from her.( Did the Catholic god realise how horrendous it is for a nun, of all people, with their physical reserve, to ask for a bed pan , and deliberately arrange that? ),

So I’m really not interested,today, in Johnny M’s apologetics for the children of Treblinka.

Any god who would preside over the horrors of this world, and would later answer for them by saying he had to let them happen to prove an obscure theological point about free will, or to establish “it’ll all work out,somehow” (which seems to be Johnny M’s point, in so far as he has one), is a miserable, snivelling cur, unworthy of attention, let alone worship.

**Johnny M** , and many others like him\*, would go up several notches in my esteem if they would make an effort to debate and defend their posts. Simply posting and disappearing tells me they intend no good. They are trolls.

\*Well, maybe not “many others”. I get the feeling we’re seeing quite a few repeats (socks). Is IP checking done only when a post is reported?
