God Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder

I have to say, though that this Onion article is one of my favourites.


Bipolar, or manic-depressive, disorder is a condition that afflicts millions. Characterized by cycles of elation followed by bouts of profound depression and despair, the disorder can wreak havoc on both the sufferer and his or her loved ones, particularly if it goes undetected and untreated for an extended period. Though the condition is estimated to affect, in one form or another, 5 percent of the world's population, Monday marks the first time it has been diagnosed in a major deity.




Taken on the same day, these photos offer evidence of God's mood disorder.

I was touched by his noodly appendage



There are some who will mock the religion of the Flying Noodle Monster. These Unbelievers will go into the fiery pit of hell, unless they repent their sins.

Reminds me of the brilliant Onion satire of Intelligent Falling.

As the article states:

"Let's take a look at the evidence," said ECFR senior fellow Gregory Lunsden."In Matthew 15:14, Jesus says, 'And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.' He says nothing about some gravity making them fall—just that they will fall. Then, in Job 5:7, we read, 'But mankind is born to trouble, as surely as sparks fly upwards.' If gravity is pulling everything down, why do the sparks fly upwards with great surety? This clearly indicates that a conscious intelligence governs all falling."


If the Bible is clear that there is an Intelligent force guiding all falling, then who are we to challenge it?
