I’ve really been getting the short end of the stick lately. Hot on the heels of yesterday’s news that I’m making a modest comeback in Athens, a website called the Blasphemy Challenge comes along and rewards people for proclaiming that I don’t exist. Take this quote of one young person’s testimony from the ABC News story:

“My name is Joel. I deny the Holy Spirit, as well as God, Jesus, Buddha, Zeus, Mohammad, Joseph Smith, Sponge Bob, the pope, Santa Clause, Mother Mary, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, Optimus Prime, all the saints and Spiderman.”

The atheists running this charade call themselves the “Rational Response Squad.” How rational is it to pick on a god nobody’s believed in for millennia? Allah or Jesus, sure, they can take the pressure. But picking on Me is just mean. With the property taxes on Mount Olympus these days I can hardly afford to stay on My throne.
