This thread is an abomination unto Nuggin.

And so’s garlic.

And chocolate.

And the color Blue.

I hear Nuggin recently decreed that worshipping Nuggin is an abomination unto Nuggin. The poor bastard orthodoxed himself to death.

I still like the IPU and the FSM.  
IPU: Her benevolence the Invisible Pink Unicorn was the first standard bearer for those opposed to ID.  
The FSM, has a fearsome image as one would expect from the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I have a healthy respect for Murphy the minor God of mischief. He who makes anything that can go wrong, well, go wrong.

I have the utmost respect for Fred. Fred is a fairly powerful God, but he restricts himself to very small manipulation of time and space. Fred most commonly takes the shape of a small Green Apple with 17 eyes. No one knows why.
