But it's all God's fault, really

So I was listening to the latest PJM podcast (which I highly recommend), and they had another one of their guest speakers on there. This one was a lady going by the name of "Advice Goddess." She was describing her blog for new listeners, and she said on it, she likes to "rail against belief in God." Immediately, I though, "oh, goody! Let's rail against belief in God! That way, we can enlighten those primitive, backward-thinking Neanderthals in a vitriolic, self-defeatist, moonbat calm, polite, reasoned manner!"

So, after scrolling past some random pictures of guys in thongs, I found this post. (Here at the Order, we cut through all the soft porn to get the story for you.) In it, she made a startling claim which will really add to the debate. Get this: She blamed God for the Holocaust. Amazing, I know! Truly a revolutionary position to take. Fortunately, however, I have transcripts of the conversation that God had with ole' Hitler right here for you:

"Hey, Adolf."

"What? Who is that!? Guards!"

"Don't call your guards. They can do nothing. This is the LORD your God talking to you."

"Um... um... okay?"

"Now, listen up. You know that whole Holocaust thing you've got planned?"

"What Holocaust? What are you talking about?"

"Don't play games with me, son. You know, 12 million dead, 6 million of them Jews, all that horrible Nazi stuff."

"Oh, yeah, that Holocaust."

"Well, could you go a little easy on this one? See, if you actually did go out and genocide all those people, some people in the future might use this as evidence that I don't exist. Silly, I know, right?"

"Um, sure, God."

"So you're not going to do it, then? At least tone it down a little. This could get give me bad publicity, Adolf, and you know what it's like when those humans don't want to take responsibility for their actions and blame it on me. The whole thing just doesn't go over well."

"Whatever, man! Forget you!"

"Sigh. Stupid Hitler. Hey, FDR... I have a job for you."


UPDATE: Yes, Amy Alkon, you're technically right. By "blaming God for the Holocaust," I simply meant you promoted the idea that if God were to exist, he would not tolerate the Holocaust, and therefore, he does not exist. It's a poor, inaccurate summary of what you said in your post, but being painstakingly clear isn't something I try to do on this blog. OK, yes, that sounds silly, but hey, this is a humor blog, and I like and am even friends with fundanutter preachers, too, so ignore me.

That's called intellectual dishonesty. Either that or you just aren't very intelligent.

I wouldn't blame god for the Holocaust, because I see no proof there is a god. You don't have proof of god either, and feeling strongly that god exists, or believing what some fundanutter preacher told you doesn't count.

Well, no, you don't think God exists -- what I meant was, you would blame him for it if you did think He existed. That is an important distinction; you're right. However, I don't think it's too "intellectually dishonest," since I linked to you, and readers could obviously go to your post and read what you said, unlike, perhaps, in another format where I might be paraphrasing you and purposely misleading readers.

I wasn't thinking very seriously at the time, obviously. I'll edit the post for you, though.
