What does it feel like to be a Christian? Stick a fork in your skull and one up your ass, connect an electrical cord to each one and plug it in! P-p-p-p-p-p-raise the Lord!
Here is an example of a really, really bad allegory. Who watches this and says to themselves, “Praise God! That will convert those non-believers!” This is why it is often a lesson in futility to try and have an insightful, open discourse with theists. The examples they cite and arguments they posit are very often outdated, shallow, or just plain bad.
And Grampa John, telling me not to try this at home because I might short out my entire house is to me an invitation to get out the wire cutters and a jar of gherkins. Watching that pickly glow I was thinking to myself, “That’s interesting, there must be just enough resistance in the pickle to attenuate the current in such a way the breakers are not tripping.”
That’s called thinking. That’s called science.

Did he not mention that there was no difference between the two pickles once he stopped his freakish fifth grade experiment execution? That pickle looked awful drained and wrinkly – kinda like what happens to you when you stay too plugged into God.

What if it was a kosher pickle? Will it explode into a ball of brimstone? Or turn into a potato latka
