Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana?

Posted by CelticBear on December 22nd, 2006

Continuing my slam of other people until the New Year…

Remember my post: The Banana Proves God? Pretty Fruity!

A commenter on another blog who brought it up recently (Lacrimae Rerum) in response posted a link to this site which has a nice rebuttal of the absurd claims of the God-banana freak: http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=C101953&entry=10463
Here’s a great snippet:

“Note that the banana: is shaped for the human hand [by the same shaper who made good mushrooms resemble the poisonous ones?], has non-slip surface [unless you step on it!], has outward indicators of inward contents (green–too early, yellow–just right, black–too late) [unless you're one of the millions of people who have been born blind over the eons through no fault of their own], has a tab for removal of wrapper [unlike the evil orange which prevents scurvy!], is perforated on wrapper [unlike those damn cows and pigs!], has a bio-degradable wrapper [which stinks and supports vermin], is shaped for human mouth [much like the human pen- no, wait, that's BAD! Right??], has a point at top for ease of entry ["easy" and "good" are always synonymous??], is pleasing to taste buds [just like those fats and sugars which promote tooth decay and heart disease], and is curved towards the face to make eating process easy [makes smoking bananas easy too, but i don't recommend it!].”

    Also, come to find out by doing a little research that this guy should have done, the “common banana” that this guy is using as “an atheist’s nightmare” isn’t a creation by God at all! It’s a human creation. That banana we find in the grocery store never existed in nature before humans bred its existence (like the common rose we all think of when we think about a rose, for example.)

    The banana he extols the heavenly virtues was “created by God” to have a MUCH toucher skin, half as large, and have pea-sized seeds running all through the length making it as problematic to eat and a potential choking hazard as a cherry.
