Slog - Comments on After Saddam http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/after_saddam Who we should hang after we hang Saddam Hussein? God. Saddam Hussein found guilty of executing fewer than 200 men and boys after an assassination attempt was made on the dictator's life near the village where these unfortunate men and boys lived. They weren't guilty of any wrongdoing—but that didn't stop Hussein from having these men and boys rounded up, tortured, and executed. Saddam was sending a message to all of Iraq: "Don't want fuck with me, people, because that's going to make me mad and when I'm mad I fucking kill people—yes, even people that had nothing to...

If everyone simply stops talking about Him, He will cease to exist like countless other supernatural deities that humans have invented.

Let the death-bringer hang. There is no statute of limitations on murder, so I think we can judge him for all the horrible natural acts ever to occur on this planet. He will surely get the death penalty, unless you have the trial in Europe with those socialist commies who dont believe in the death penalty.

Of course, any jury that convicted Him would be thrown into a lake of fire. I don't think taking God to court is going to be enough. Clearly He needs to be assisinated.

It didn't work then (or the endless times it's been tried after), and it won't work now. When will you give up your jihad against God? He's God, He's Here, deal with it.

They found him guilty, of course. Can we maybe put the American Taliban on trial for abandoning common decency?

People, read "The Demon-Haunted World" by Carl Sagan. It's a beautiful piece.
