[On the book "The God Delusion"]
The book stayed 51 weeks on the NY Times best-seller list... God, omnipotent as he is, pulled it down at the very last moment. Even for weaker souls, this should be evidence beyond doubt that God exists. As soon as I find a source for this argument, I will add it to the article. :)

The book stays nearly a year on a bestseller list...and that's a sign of God succeeding?
Since when does an all powerful God confirm his existence through the independent actions of a newspaper bestseller list?
Idiot.
Uh wait, the very last moment before what? Did you make a bet with someone, that if the book is No. 1 for a year you'll lose $10000?
"As soon as I find a source for this argument, I will add it to the article."
Do you really think that, if there really is a god, that he gives a hairy rat's ass about the best seller list?
If you define 'God' as that voice in your head that says, "Hey, it's been out a year, I'll hold off for the imminent and cheaper paperback".
Guys? Whoever submitted this one REALLY needs to start checking their sources. It's a Poe:
From his Wikipedia page here :
I'm editing Wikipedia to learn more about the philosophy of religion. I was raised in a religious family, but have slowly grown into an atheist.
And from the originating page:
On the contrary, Baal, Thor, and even the Juju on the top of the mountain have received their fair share of attention. Compared to old-fashioned philosophers, Dawkins is remarkably fair and respectful of religious diversity. Contrast that to Graham Oppy, who in his otherwise very thorough Arguing about Gods completely fails to address any Juju-specific arguments.
Poe, Poe, a thousand times, Poe.
Edit: Lazuline seems to have beaten me to the punch. Ah well.
If God is Omnipotent, why did he even let this book hit the shelves in the first place, let alone take over a year to take it from the Number 1 bestseller spot? Sounds like a bit of a procrastinator, to me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
