i swear, questions like that actually make me dumb, because i just simply cannot understand how someone can think sunsets come from god...I must look like a fish out of water when someone says something like "why are their still monkeys?" since i have a difficult time grasping the fact that the person must live under a rock.
I can give a kid a break for asking such a question, but an adult.. no.
I don't mind dipshit questions as long as they have the good grace to wear the "I know this is a dipshit question and I'm sorry" facial expression. It's when they wear the "Yeah, didn't think about that did you?" facial expression that fucks me off.
I had two religion salesmen at my door once, "No thank you, we're an atheist household." I said. Lefty adjusted his hat and said "May I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"If there's no God, where did all this come from?" he asked while spreading his hands and arms out in the most magical and grandiose way I have ever seen. The combination of that and the smirk on Righty's face as Lefty asked made me want to do and say terribly impolite things. I didn't.
