A sad world that we live in...
...when people can get this offended by a mere Flash movie.
Considering that the Christian God is:
1.) Omnipotent,
2.) Omniscient and MOST IMPORTANTLY,
3.) Neither good NOR evil,
I find it hard to believe that Mr. Chapman is going to be punished with hellfire and brimstone for one 'horrific and blasphemous' act, if at all. Remember, this is the same God that stood by and let witch hunts and the like go on, as well as allow justice to come to many murderers, rapists and other evil and corrupt criminal types.
Evil and good are concepts created by humanity. God is supposedly above and beyond the restraints made by mortals; who are we to decide how It fits into our existances? How are we to know what It considers 'right' and 'wrong'? Why do we assume It even CARES what a pile of solids, liquids and gases do to eachother?
There is the possibility that It does not even exist; that it is just part of a fictional story that adults believe in and expect children to believe in. We are told about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and various other fairy tales as children, and eventually we grow out of them. We realize the truth. Perhaps God is such a tale that has gotten out of hand to the point where otherwise rational people are convinced it is truth. A tale where, the intention is to scare EVERYONE into being 'model citizens', not just children. A tale where a great force that lives high above us has decided to give us standards and practices to live by, and if we don't... ooh, are we gonna get it!
A tale with good and evil, where good eventually wins because evil is dumb, just the way great stories are supposedly required to end. "Do good things in your life, believe in Me and follow My rules and I'll guarantee that happy shiny things will come your way. Nothing that happens down there will hurt you in the end, because up here all that will fade away and you'll be all ^___________^, since you did things the way that I approved of." Where the big evil just HAPPENED to get shitkicked around by the Great Infallible Hyper Squiggly Huggybear Bonus-Kun Sooperpower, and now resides in a place where Its rejects are sent to do anything The Bad Guy In Charge of Not Making the Rejects Go Hooray decides would make him grin the most. Where unimaginable, horrific, infamous, dastardly, not-quite-what-I-wanted-to-hav e-shoved-into-THAT-orifice things occur.
I'd go on, but I suspect I'm getting to a level of bitterness matched only by the worst of the stereotypical ignorant Christians.
