I know that this post will bring out the wackiest among you too. Hey, you can&#8217;t sell me on your religion. They all stink.<\/p>\n<p>  While we&#8217;re on this, a few years ago I made this claim in the off.ramp newsgroup that I used to hang out in: God is a Dumbass. I offered Nevada and the Moon as proof. Guess what? No one ever was able to prove me wrong. At minimum I believe that God \u2014 if she exists \u2014 drinks cheap whiskey.
