QuoteYes ... Well, here's a scientific question: Has anybody ever seen hard evidence? What we get is theories from our earlier prophets. Now, people who think that God invented us think that the Earth can't be more than 6,000 years old. So I guess it's a question of belief. My belief system doesn't support a creator as such, as we can call God, who created us in His/Her/Its image.

QuoteFreeman said answering whether he was an atheist or agnostic was "hard" because the actor thinks "we invented God."
"So if I believe in God, and I do, it's because I think I'm God," he said.

Asmo is just some pretender, even though he rolls deep.  ;D

Rolling in the deep is a pretty good song.  God approves.  Yes, God speaks of Himself in the third person.  If Deion Sanders can do it, so can God.

Always look on the bright side of life.

You fools.  I knew that this topic was going to be posted.  Clearly, my omipotence means that I'm god.

Maybe the Greeks were right, there's more than one god. And we're all gods. In which case, I am the God of fans of Twilight, since that will give me the power to punish them all.

Oh!  If we're claiming things to be The God Of, I want to be the God of 80's Memorabilia.

Well you better insert Blade into the next book/film, otherwise you're a crappy god.

I've waiting just enough time to sneak in for a response. I am obviously God; lurking in the shadows.
