Random Quote

Obedience. A religion of slaves. A religion of intellectual death. I like it. Don't ask questions, don't think, obey the Word of the Lord — as it has been conveniently brought to you by a man in a Rolls with a heavy Rolex on his wrist. I like that job! Where can I sign up?

Yes there is; I have a piece of the true cowl.

What good is a protection racket that doesn't shake you down? I love it!

What does God need with a Batmobile?

I thought the evidence was about the same for each--works of fiction that are quite without legitimate claims.

God does have one thing going for it psychologically, which is its demand for material commitment. Quite apart from the weirdness of giving money to the being who supposedly owns everything, actually doing something for that "being" that costs you something is a great way of giving you a stake in that fiction.

Diesel Sweeties is full of awesome. As is Batman. And Pharyngula. Worlds are colliding here.

Not only does God not need a car, here's scared of them as I recall.

With the Batmobile, God would be able to defeat iron chariots!

Webcomics seem to have a greater-than-average proportion of atheists.

Jeph Jacques (of Questionable Content fame) has declared such: http://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/2349094565 (in response to this comic: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1435 )

Where would god get the wonderful toys? Batman runs over god as god can't repel chariots of iron. That assumes there is any iron in any cars today.

Mixing universes here:

Batman probably has some type of composite for the Batmobile, like Tony Stark's material used for his armor.

Crimson Dynamo has a suit more Ferric, IIRC. Magneto could still toss them around which would ruin god's day if he can't repel Iron.

God or Batman + prep time?

Remember, we're talking prep time here.
