- to ACTUALLY WRITE a bunch of words on paper! I always thought it was written

-
- The Earth has a foundation!? WOW! This contradicts known astronomy,
- which has the odd idea that it's a sphere orbiting around the sun, and
- NOT a structure (like a flat earth) that needs a foundation.

- "Who put that apostrophe in "it's", meaning a contraction of "it is"?
- Surely you know!"

- What doors are in the sea? Where's this "womb"?
- Boy, this is confusing! It's almost as if the author didn't know
- HOW THE HELL THE EARTH REALLY WORKS, and instead uses some ANCIENT
- FLAT EARTH MODEL WITH A CELESTIAL VAULT OF WATER!!!
- What an incredibly STUPID god you have here!
-
- >when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness,
- >when I fixed limits for it and set it's doors and bars in place,
-
- Clouds and the atmosphere have doors and bars!? Wow!
- *I* didn't know that!
-
- >when I said, 'This is how far you may come, and no further;
- > here is where your proud waves halt'?"
-
- Since humans have explored FARTHER than the earth's atmosphere,
- it seems pretty easy to defy this wimpy god!
-
- Boy, I'm glad you called my attention to this pig-ignorant, bogus
- god! Nothing like a excellent sample of absolutely ridiculous
- assertions to show up these so-called "gods" as the intellectual
- frauds they are! I think we all owe you a big load of thanks!
-
- Suggestion for next time: try some of those crazy Norse gods!
- They were nutty gods too!
