Enough of the jihads and genocides, the circumcisions and clitoridectomies. Enough of cutting babies' private parts and spanking children like Zeus with a thunderbolt. Enough of "sex-is-bad" education; enough of all unnatural indoctrination. Enough of people blowing themselves and everyone else up for the sake of some antiquated, angry anthropomorphic "almighty"! Enough of the foolish false cures, the false hopes, and all false things. Enough of Christism and Islamism and every other "Ism" (except, of course, Scientism). Enough of all this egregious, vainglorious godism!
Humanity, get a life! Get a sense of humor. The gods are so humorless . How to deal with all these gods, these bloodthirsty old sky-tyrants?
I propose a new tactic, actually a new approach entirely: the gods are funny. Funny? they're hilarious. Laugh at them! Foutre les dieux! The gods, their religions, and pious priestcraft also, are laughingstocks. It's time we started laughing!
What could be funnier than the majority of thinking adults bowing down and worshiping bones? Yes, it's true: religion teaches us to worship bones! And this, mind you, from the Orthodox Church, the most ancient church in Christendom:
They are worshiping, oops, I mean venerating, bones!
I used to get angry, very angry indeed, about all this, but I see that humor is a much more effective tactic in this war. And it is better for my health, too! The Dawkinses and Hitchenses are doing a good job of criticizing the absurd; they don't need my efforts.
I shall reduce the gods to ridicule; I shall slay them with laughter.
