Unfortunate juxtaposition

I like this bumper sticker that I saw this morning:

bumper sticker saying godthefather

I’m all for a spot of humour in religion, Dawkins knows it could do with a bit. I’m just not sure that comparing your deity with a fat, amoral gangster is a good move.

Apart from Don Corleone and God both having sons who were murdered, I’m struggling to see the similarities.

    They both kill people they dislike; they both speak rather indistinctly; they both want your money; they’re both Roman Catholics; and they’re both dead.

    I think of God as a stroppy teenager who can’t get what he wants: “What!? Not pay me attention!? Well let’s see if a massive flood get’s your attention!”

    God is a psychotic ego-maniac, with approval and temper issues combined with what appears to be a deep seated inferiority complex. A bit like those girls off MTV’s “My Sweet 16″ programme.

    Don Corleone wasn’t entirely amoral of course: he did not wish to permit the sale of illegal drugs (except to black people, if I recall).
