- In a similar vein, "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule". Even though it ends with God suffering a Heroic BSoD, He makes it absolutely clear that His "Thou Shalt Not Kill" Commandment is NOT open to interpretation:
God: "Can't you people see? What are you, morons? There are a ton of different religious traditions out there, and different cultures worship Me in different ways. But the basic message is always the same: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Shintoism... every religious belief system under the sun, they all say you're supposed to love your neighbors, folks! It's not that hard a concept to grasp. Why would you think I'd want anything else? Humans don't need religion or God as an excuse to kill each other — you've been doing that without any help from Me since you were freaking apes! The whole point of believing in God is to have a higher standard of behavior. How obvious can you get? I'm talking to all of you, here! Do you hear Me?! I don't want you to kill anybody! I'm against it, across the board! How many times do I have to say it?! Don't kill each other anymore--ever! I'M FUCKING SERIOUS!!!" - In a similar vein, "God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule
