Why is "racist" such a hurtful insult?

His nose is definitely omnipotent.

You could say that his knowledge of the property market is omniscient.

Certainly. Some of us may well call Christianity 'Middle-Eastern Mythology'.

I don't believe but i've had my doubts over the years. So many women I've been intimate with seemed to invoke his name. Had to sound proof the bedroom once when the neighbours complained about noisy prayer meetings in an area zoned residential.

Anything to keep the police away. Crying for god probably meant they felt their number was up and were clinging onto the ethereal.

Of course, pointing out that it is impossible for anything to be both omnipotent and omniscient at the same time tends to upset people.

Well the French describe orgasm as 'petit mort' don't they.

So do the Belgians, though that could be a reference to Marc Dutroux.

I expect they were worried about 'grand mort' a little bit more.

Well why we're being racist. What about those Belgians hey. Bastards. (I think I'm quoting Monty Python poorly).

I'm good but I'm not that good.

On the weekend his North Qld manager asked him to start on the bench. Robbie spat the dummy and refused to play at all - spent the game in the stand. If he was omnipotent he would not have bothered coming to the ground in the first place

Bit rough to expect a deity to start on the bench, innit?

If it were the Old Testament God, then sure. But then the Gaffer would have been a pillar of salt anyway.

I'm sure the NT god would have been happy for the replacement to be given his chance, fail and then to accept that robbie really is the saviour

The OT God would have trouble playing with a beard that long. He wouldn't always be able to see his feet.

Being a God would he need to see his feet?

God clearly wins...

God, what a qunt...
