Can religion get any more insipidly weird? Apparently the answer is yes.
“Phone calls from God still had some children in awe Thursday morning at St. Nicholas of Myra vacation bible school.
“He told me to fish for people,” 8-year-old Noelle Nunes said, “and tell everyone about him.”
“He told me to follow in his footsteps,” 7-year-old Jack Dubois said. “The phone call really surprised me. He didn’t say an awful lot, he just told me to follow him.”
Every child participating in this program received a call from God Wednesday as they took part in games, music and crafts all this week at the church’s vacation bible school.
Impersonating god is a no-no according the christian magic book of choice, but hey if it reinforces the tragic brainwashing endured by children it must be good.
I’m just waiting till someone tries to rig a talking burning bush – Hilarity, I promise, would ensue.
Phone calls from and singing with god!

Yes, because you want an eight year old girl out trolling for “unsaved” strangers. Did God specify a preferred bait?

Quick! Quick! Would someone remind me again what the bible says about bearing false witness?

It would be funnier if the majority of people did not take their mythology so seriously. I look at the ground zero mosque/burning the koran circus and just have to shake my head. So much effort and energy spent defending imaginary people and long dead thinking, rather depressing on the whole.
