Excerpt: Why the Ghostbusters are cooler than God

1.)The Ghostbusters wear Corcoran Jump Boots and get around in a ’59 Cadillac Meteor-Miller Ambulance. Jesus Christ wore sandals and got around on a donkey.

2.)The Ghostbusters once beat a Sumerian demi-god with minimal damage to equipment and personnel, unless you count being covered in marshmallow, blowing the top three floors off a downtown high rise and being sued by every state, county and federal agency in New York, and they did it all inside of two hours. God still has trouble with Lucifer several thousand years later and Lucifer isn’t even a demi-god.

3.)The Holy Spirit makes tongues of flame appear above people’s heads. Proton packs fix this problem.

4.)The Holy Spirit is part of a god, making it a demi-god. Talk to Gozer about what happens to demi-gods when they cross the Ghostbusters.

5.)God had to send down ten plagues, including locusts, boils and frogs. Gozer sent down one – the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man, who stomped on a Church, proving that Gozer was more powerful than God. The Ghostbusters beat Gozer, proving that they are more powerful than Gozer and God.

6.)The Ghostbusters use science to explore and explain the supernatural. Science wins.

7.)Egon will think of something.

8.)Even if he’s terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

9.)Demonic Possession was the cause of illnesses and ailments in the Bible. The Ghostbusters go for a checkup and get that fixed. And even if it is demonic possession, proton packs fix this problem, too.

10.)If someone threatens you with something that seems inexplicable to science and scares you, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

 

Winners – The Ghostbusters

God never helped me fly - a C130 and a T10 parachute did.
God never struck down my enemies - my hand on an M249 SAW did.

  The whole time I was

 

The whole time I was reading this, my mind kept flashing back to that old episode of Family Guy where Peter gets a job as a ghostbuster, and then he barges in on Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze at the potter's wheel and zaps Patrick Swayze with the proton pack, and then Demi Moore cries.

Hilarious!

 

Holy Spirit < Proton Pack

"When did I realize I was God? Well, one day I was praying and I realized I was talking to myself."

Really funny list, although

Really funny list, although you made a slight error in number 5 - God sent 10 plagues, not seven, which makes Gozer that much more powerful than the God of Peace TM, Yahweh.

Good night, funny man, and thanks for the laughter.

Long live the Ghostbusters!

Long live the Ghostbusters! Egon was always my favorite, though Bill Murray may actually be God.

Your life is a love story!
