Turning cheek for last time
3:00pm Monday 28th January 2013 in Letters
THIS is my final response to Terry Banfield.
His letter once again demonstrates his distorted approach and his schoolboy attitude. Over the years, I have presented my evidence objectively and honestly. I regret getting angry on one occasion when I saw his savage response to Mrs Rovaretti’s gentle and cultured letter. I have received abuse from some, none of it just or well-informed. Why did I continue? For the benefit of readers, and I have received some generous feedback. I would like to thank those who have written in and spoken on God’s behalf. I wish there had been more. In the spirit of Christ, I wish Mr Banfield no ill, and hope that one day he will learn that in the search for Truth, an abusive spirit serves no purpose.

Please don't stop Mr MCCarthy, it brightens my day, to be able to read deluded piffle from nut-jobs like you. I'm sure I speak for not only myself but many other Satanists in Gwent. My life will be poorer without your rants.
Love, Raymond

I find it hilarious that he thinks his god needs defending against the puny mortal Terry Banfield. Isn't Yahweh reported to be one of the most brutal and vengeful gods to ever sling a lighting bolt?
(Booming voice)
God: Tom my child, this is Yahweh speaking. Can you please stop going around telling everyone that I am some spiteful ****-hat, and that I am going to 'get' them if they keep ignoring me.
Tom: W-what do you mean God, don't you want me to spread the good word?
God: You don't believe EVERYTHING you read in books Tom . . . do you?
Tom: W-well Jesus sai . . .
God: Tom, I'm half pagan and half Jewish . . . on my mothers side. You can't be three things, that would be stupid. I didn't say anything that was written in the old testament, never mind the new! Why would I pass my divine wisdom down to a small illiterate tribe in the middle of the desert, to a languge only understood by so few? C'mon Tom, I gave you free will, AND the Discovery Channel AND the internet. What have you been doing with the wonderful tools I have graciously gifted you?
Tom: But the Church says . . .
God: THE CHURCH! Listen now Tom this has got to stop, I'm exhausted. Thanks to you and your ilk I have quite the reputation to live up to, what with all the misery, wars and pointless genocide I have to deal out on your behalf. The other gods think I'm a fool for putting up with you! You DO know that abrahamic spirits are segregated from all the others in heaven don't you? They say you spoil the atmos. You did that.
Just stop it OK? Will you do that little thing for me. And tell the others too won't you?
Tom: I don't believe you.
