Kid's names

[archerships]

I plan to name my kids after major deities--God, Satan, Yahweh, Krishna, etc.

Then I could tell everyone that I'm the father of God.

Maybe I could sell their baby stuff as holy relics.

"Yes, ma'am. That's God's binky. Some say it will cure canker sores."

You can't name them Optimus Prime. Some jarhead goofball already did that before going into war.

You should definitely name one Megatron though, that's cooler. Megatron and Lion-O.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I think I'd go with ancient ones (Ra, Kali) or more obscure names, because it would be fun to see uneducated people (and sorry if this offends anyone, but they're usually the most "faithful" in these parts) scratch their heads. "Uh, is that a blasphemy?" "Are y'all makin' fun of the Lord our Savior?"

Hell if I know. :O

Would a redneck fundamentalist know enough history to even know Ra, or Kali refer to gods? Given how many people can't pick out the U.S. on a map, I prefer to make certain my kids get beaten on the schoolyard by picking indigenous deities.

Hahaha! Please become an atheist comic, there hasn't been a good one since Douglas Adams died.

Douglas Adams was an atheist?! Boy, I bet he's got some explaining to do...
