GOD!

OK, this one's a bit heavier and may have to span a few posts, but yesterday I was incensed (as usual) when I read the title of some Linkedin post that hit my mailbox. Here's the article:

So... WHEN I'M KING... here's how I propose to deal with people who feel or act that there's some sort of supreme being that personally feels it's job consists of owning business and in general helping some people out, while it ignores others [see disasters]. This is a tough one for me as I'm pretty sure I don't want to out and out outlaw religious faith, but the hubris involved in this narcissistic thought process has to be punished. It makes for a very bad humans. "My business is doing well because God owns it!" shames the guy who worked his ass off his whole life, operating a small department store, and now has nothing because Walmart came in to town and destroyed him. I declare that those who believe that some sort of God gives them dominion over anything or anyone will have to submit to a tattoo on their foreheads that reads, "I'm a self absorbed asshole but my god told me it was ok." Probably do this in two lines so the font can be easily read. People who also claim to have had conversations with god will have tattoos that read, "I'm a self absorbed lunatic..."
