Lale: Nitpikcing over hyperbole in the main page:
- This editor is of the opinion that the above editor is the one who Did Not Do The Research... Specifically by reading the Old Testament and that a quick whipping and crucifiction is the most painful method possible to execute some one, as opposed to, for instance, impalement of the type performer by Vlad the Impaler.
- This editor can come up with a million more painful methods of execution than simply whipping and crucifying someone. Plus I'm an Atheist!
Ninjacrat: After mature consideration, pulling:
because they really don't seem to be guesses so much some troper's bafflement and/or feigned bafflement at anyone writing a story in which God isn't the hero. Also, like all Real World Religion-related WMGs they were attracting epic amounts of Stupid.
Lale: Yeah, that's mature; instead of coming up with a counter theory, just delete it. I wish could delete all the entries on this site I don't like.
TTD: Putting them back in, especially given that Phil Pullman all but confirmed the first one.
Ninjacrat: If he confirmed it then it's not a wild guess, is it? Christ, the first one is actually accusing him of writing god as a villain because he "did not do the research". The sheer confusion of thought behind that sentence is staggering.
Pulling them again, for the same reasons as already stated: they're not guesses but badly confused bids to 'clear God's name' (is God that thin-skinned?), and they've got proven ability to attract the worst kind of Dumb.
(Or would pull them again, except they never went back in...?)
(Nope, there they go.)
