Totally agree. Even if there was a God he'd be up there shaking his head at this pish. Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac? He lay awake all night wondering if there really was a dog.
If there is a God, I reckon he's more like the Vikings' version of Gods. Sadistic, capricious and selfish.
