The JREF Pantheon

Um ...

K-Mo, buddy, easy on the party favors. We don't have a lot in treasury. And remember how the last fundraising effort ended?
 
Wait, are we making a pantheon? Can I be the representative Goddess of Indulgence?
 
I am missing something. I understand how all the other ones take one or more aspects of God and stretch them to absurdity in order to make a point. What is gained by bringing "Evil Zombie Hitler" into the discussion? It will offend people without really providing any value. Given how hard it is to explain to some fundies the invisble nature of the Pink Unicorn, wouldn't adding the name Hitler to a discussion of the nature of God just greatly increase frustration and greatly decrease communication? These folks already believe Nazism is based on Darwin's ideas and secularism, why should we reinforce their misunderstanding? Given that tone of voice is hard to communicate over the internet and that satire is not these folk's strongest suit, adding EZH to the lineup seems like a very bad idea.

I hereby nominate Ladewig for the position of God of Entirely Missing the Point.

:D

And, if we're discussing pantheons. . .

Comicus: The Christians are so poor...
Swiftus: How poor are they?
Comicus: Thank you. They are so poor... That they only have one God.
[drumbeat, everyone laughs]
Comicus: But we Romans are rich. We've got a lot of gods. We've got a god for everything. The only thing we don't have a god for is premature ejaculation... but I hear that's coming quickly.

Oh, I'll accept the nomination; but I suspect that once one leaves this thread and wanders into other sub-forums, I may no longer be the front runner. Maybe I could just be the cup bearer of the God of Entirely Missing the Point.

So what would Evil Zombie Hitler do if faced with the prospect of eating Jewish brains?
