Dear god, hope you get the letter and...
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving in the street
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from god
I can't believe in you

Dear god, sorry to disturb you but...
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about god
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god don't know if you noticed but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear god
I can't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That father, son and holy ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you
Dear god

Wow, posting those lyrics is a freaky coincidence. That song just came up on my mp3 player's shuffle mode not 30 seconds before I checked this thread. Either that or God is trying to communicate with me. Perhaps he's trying to warn me of an impending zombie plague.

You need some kind of blade for when your gun jams.

Large knife, hatchet, etc.

Don't be stupid. Once your gun jams you are overrun by the hordes of undead almost immediately.

-Maybe- a chainsaw.

I'm also going to need some gasoline and some skimpy but vaguely militaristic looking clothes to wear.

I recommend the army surplus store over near the Broadway and Victoria Skytrain station. :)

And they have machetes too, for when the gun jams.

Opt for the shorter machete with the vine hook on the back...you can swing those for hours and eviscerate on the backswing...which won't kill them but it is oh so dramatic.

Also you'll need some really good boots and a thigh sheathed improbably large camillius or a pair of Sykes-Fairbairn's not so much for defense as to draw attention to your supple yet rippling thighs.

Re Your Brains

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
And then you’ll have to make the call
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I’d like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am

I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we’ll table this for now
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
And we’ll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

Hrmmmmm...Have you tried running over people that you are pretty sure are going to become zombies when it hits the fan?... They might count now!

This made me laugh out loud:
Police gaffe makes Muslims pray in wrong direction

Fri Apr 13, 8:40 AM ET

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch police station trying to help Muslim detainees face Mecca for their prayers painted arrows in cells pointing in the wrong direction.

Just shamble around groaning indistinctly amongst the zombies until you are clear of them. They'll never know the difference.

I quick YouTube response from Richard Dawkins re: What if you're wrong?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=6mmskXXetcg#

His response has more to do with reminding the audience that their religion is a coincidence of what part of the world they were born so there's no need to single one out.

I picked up a set of 6 videos from dawkins this weekend off the newsgroups. They're from 1991... Incredible, I really wish I had been introduced to this back then. I envy all the kids in the audience who got to hear about this stuff early...

Awesome simple, illustrative example of how rediculous religion is.
