Idea stolen from Shemp over on the JREF Forums.

From Shemp's Original poll:

Are you tired of various assorted fundies telling you you'll be struck dead by their favorite deity if you don't knuckle under to their ways? Well, why not get it over with now? Challenge a deity to strike you dead right now! Come on, what are you afraid of, DO IT!

If the Buddha is not a deity, may he not still smite someone?

Um, I'm not so sure about smiting, but Yahweh, Budda and Allah all came to my door and took turns hoofing me in the nuts. They then made fun of my mom and then left, stealing my lawn orniments as they went.

Man, deities have no sense of humour.

No one picked Allyah... I think it's because he gets Al Qaeda to do his dirty work...

This thread name was misleading. I thought it was more along the lines of:

Who would win? Ditka vs. God?

Ditka, 27-24 in triple overtime.

That is part of the uncertainty principle. The more certain you are that you are dead the less certain you are of what did it.

As of this post, none have yet dared to challenge Xenu one-on-one. Perhaps an aversion to being placed next to volcanos and blown up with H-Bombs?

Has it escaped your notice that Allah is the same god as Yahweh?

I challenge Xenu. Evil alien using hydrogen bombs to kill people on earth millions of years ago, who were flown from all parts of the universe in DC-10's, I challenge you to strike me down now!

... pansy.

Of course it could be that Xenu's angel of death is Tom Cruise, so if he's coming to get me it's like a 7 hour flight. I'll wait.

He's got a private jet for that, you know, and I'm sure that it has been upgraded with thetan seeking missiles, and then when you remember that he has +45 to Smite Nonbeliever and +207 to Fly Aircraft (due to achieving level 3 status, and being in Top Gun), I think it might be best to reconsider your options before the next few hours have past.

Anyways, I challenge the One of Three Funny Names That I Can't Pronounce, Yet Have Slashes Indicating That They/It Is Probably Hindu, Since They Have the Many Faces of One Thing, I Believe. Thats right, OTFTICPYHSITT/IIPHSTHMFOTIB, bring it on!!!

After what Tom Cruise did to Oprah I'm not sure it's safe to challenge him.

Actually, since all religions involve the same cognitive processes and the only thing which differentiates them is the content, in a way, they aren't they all the same god?

I understand what you are saying, but try to tell many conservative christians that the God they worship is the same Abrahamic god the Muslim's worship as Allah, and they may not be as rational about it as you.

Siddharta Gatuma the Buddha will just laugh at you in the way one laughs at playing kittens.

Basically he's a nice guy so he'll just find some amusement in it, like little silly kids are funny.

Smiling, while he sets the eight dharampalas upon you...

By striking me dead, Yahweh can not only prove he exists, but prove that he's a forum nerd! Once that gets out, who will want to worship him? :)
