never mind
Well, okay. Let me see… I think I’ll invent a new god: Kanarth of Ellesh. I’m free to do so, surely. (I’ve just done it, and seem to have gotten away with it.)
So… Thank you, Kanarth! Thank you for the freedom you gave me to create you.
(Now…how about some winning lottery numbers?)
No god provided me any freedom.
I have freedom because I live in a society that believes people ought to have freedoms, and because we have a government powerful enough to deal with anyone who disagrees.
I hate god. I guess I also hate freedom.
God giveth, god taketh away.
Fickle bastard.
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!
So many to choose from…
OK, Trinopus, I hereby swear my allegiance to Kanarth of Ellesh!
Do I get a tee-shirt? Is there a newsletter? How about pizza parties? Does Kanarth of Ellesh prefer beer or wine?
As a new devotee, I need to know these things.
Oh chronic pain stealing my sleep this morning. You make the whole world so different. I initially read this as "Does Kanarth of Ellesh prefer bees or wine?
I think that you old farts have lost the true way of Kanarth of Ellesh, and your doubts about the right beverage for the pizza party make this more than evident. Therefore I proclaim that me and my subset of followers are the True Elleshians and the rest of you heretics.
Splittist!
Freedom, schmeedom. Gimme power over my enemies. And nubile virgins to spare from sacrifice.
By putting them in prison. :smack:
Freedom is not exclusive to jail-loving America, bub.
Or disqualify.
Lovely paradox! If I say, “You are free to do so,” my church disintegrates into a thousand little sects.
But if I say, “You can’t do that!” then I am denying the freedom that Kanarth bestows!
Either way, the church is doomed!
Next time, I will invent a War God, and if you secede, I’ll just come over with my army and go all “Joshua in Canaan” on your ass. This freedom stuff is clearly overrated!
(Or…maybe a sex and ganja god, and just, like, let it happen, y’know?)
What God wants, God gets.
God help us all.
…
We think freedom is so precious that we don’t want to use it all up on everyone.
Just like marriage, huh?
