God threw a dump truck at me on Wednesday. Luckily, God apparently has lousy aim and the dump truck landed in the ditch beside me, leaving my little civic-hybrid and all people involved entirely uncrumpled.
Some might suggest that instead of attacking me, God saved me by sending the dump truck into the ditch instead of into my bumper. However, it doesn’t seem quite fair to always be giving God the benefit of the doubt by attributing the miracles to him while denying his involvement in misfortune. As a dirty atheist, I certainly haven’t been racking up “divine intervention” points. This was most likely an act of divine spite gone bad due to inadequate warm-up time in the bullpen.
On the bright side, I think I might have found a new angle for marketing my car. Perhaps I’ll have more luck selling the Honda Civic Hybrid with Divinely-Thrown Dump Truck Dodging Powers. Anyone want to buy a “magic” car?

A magic civic? if it were a magic Tundra I would be first in line. Mine seem to collect accidents.
btw - you should consider joining the Atheist Blogroll.
Of course the reason the dump truck missed is because the devil threw it and his aim isn't as good as gawd's.
Gawd deflected it with his anti-satan magic eye power. All praise be to jebus.

Pfffffff--- that's ridiculous! Why would the devil want to throw a dump truck at me?
aviaa
I was kidding. Well, I was saying what I have heard theists say on such occasions.
I was kidding back. Really though, if anyone were to throw a truck at me, it would definitely be god rather than the devil... many more reasons.
But could God create a dumptruck so heavy he could not lift it? :)
Hmm... perhaps that was essentially his problem. He might have just made the truck too heavy to accurately toss it at me. Had he chosen, say, a Toyota Tacoma, he might have succeeded. Oh, the mysteries one discovers when postulating about the divine…
Haha
...or, it may very well be, that gawd's aim is as horrible as his engineering/design skills.
Hehehehe.

Likely so. (shakes her head) God himself seems to be evidence of poor design.
