Are we living on an angry red planet that wants to be green?
Speaking of believers in nutty deities, in a comment to my post about Pat Robertson's latest idiotarian remarks, Veeshir pointed out a gem from Danny Glover (which Glenn Reynolds linked last night). Says Glover: "When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I'm sayin'?"To which Blair quips that it would have been more newsworthy had Glover implicated a "less-fashionable deity." Yes, it certainly would. At the very least, Glover would have lost his right to say "KOOBA." This "debate" (if it is that) between competing deities raises an interesting question; whether it makes more sense to attribute a vengeful mindset to God or to a planet. The former is said to be pissed off about a deal with Satan, while the latter is said to be pissed off about a bad deal in Copenhagen. We don't have to "choose" between these two deities, do we? If so, what are the implications for Intelligent Design? posted by Eric on 01.15.10 at 09:01 AM

Veeshir, I give you full props for being able to spell "Huitzilopochtli."

What is KOOBA? M. Simon · January 15, 2010 04:52 PM I can spell "tepuli" too. Veeshir · January 16, 2010 09:29 AM Post a comment

Gaia is one of the most fire and brimstone, vengeful deities ever.
When you make it mad you get floods, droughts, heat, cold, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, dead Lock Ness Monster and more.

I really miss the days when we didn't have to destroy our way of life to appease the gods, when we could just throw a virgin in a volcano or sacrifice a white bull.
Eh, at least the global warmmongering god isn't more like Huitzilopochtli or something.
