Two words from the local UU religionist guy: Stark Terror.

The only other weblink I've seen that made me as queasy in the last week was the FEMA kids site: www.fema.gov/kids

Go spend a moment with Herman the Spokescrab.

Rich, that WAS scary!

For example, in the section entitled "For the Little Ones" -- you have Julia and Robbie ... The Disaster Twins!:

===================
They are regular kids except for one thing. Nearly everyone in Eenietown calls them the Disaster Twins. Why?

Because whenever Robbie and Julia go out, natural disasters seem to follow.
===================

Talk about a Malevolent Universe Premise!

From Adam's link:

===============
Taxes for Jesus. Welfare for God. You're paying $115,200 in taxes to a Christian publisher in Loveland called Group Publishing, Inc.
===============

It goes without saying that being all-powerful has its drawbacks. For instance, as an all-powerful being, you'd have the power to run up enormous debt (and no one could run up debt, like you could). You could, for instance, create and re-create gambling chips while marathon-gambling in a casino. Hell (pun intended), you could run up debt that would make our national debt look like pocket change.

What all this means is that there has got to be some type of safety-net for all-powerful beings. Of the 81 disconnected welfare programs, there is not one single welfare program for all-powerful beings. This is a travesty. Who else could create as much problems as all-powerful beings, huh? And if they can create the most problems, then it stands to reason that they deserve the largest safety net.

The backlash against "Taxes for Jesus" and "Welfare for God" stems from a simple selective-omission of the 'reasoning' above.

Gods need welfare, too.

Verily, it is almost entirely what they depend upon.
