God is a Brazilian. (see the link to the title of this post) I know you have been asking yourself if God exists, what nationality is he? Well he has finally come out and announced he is a Brazilian. How do we know? Well Brazil just found remarkable massive new oil reserves off Brazil’s coast. Further proof that God loves money. He bequeaths it to those of his same nationality. Is Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva kidding? We can only hope. But do any of you question his assertion on the nationality of God?Peter Nuhn
Does that mean gawd isn’t Venezualan anymore?

Are you sure you aren’t Douglas Adams in disguise?

Pretty close. Doug and I are actually fraternal twins, born 2yrs and 3 1/2 months apart to different mothers on different continents.
Oops. Hit the wrong key and aged myself a year. Can’t have that. Make that 3 years and # 1 1/2 months!
barbiebrains, further proof that god is not Mexican comes from former leader Porfirio Diaz who said to the effect: Poor Mexico, so far from god and so close to the U.S.
BTW, is there a Greek or Norse god of petroleum? I don’t know if Hephaestus or Poseidon could be considered to be in charge.
This reminds me how it seems like most Americans think that the US is really, honestly, truly, favored by God, and that our country is the best possible nation and will obviously last for ever (or at least until Armageddon). It’s just that kink of hubris that will contribute to the US’s eventual fall.
I could almost buy into the idea ‘GOD is Brazilian, Think about it, have you ever seen those Brazilian Booties?? Someone had to have been playing favorites… ; )
Brazilian booties come from Brazilian butt lifts…They are the products of science. I guess our favorite “Intelligent Designer” needs help from science when it comes to the hardcore aesthetics of the female body…

I am an Australian Atheist currently in Brazil. I have not seen Lula?s comments however I would not be surprised if he attributed Brazil?s recent off-shore oil/gas discoveries to god. What does surprise me however, is his predecessor, former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso is an Atheist! I have tried to find other Atheists here but they are all hiding in the closet I think.
I have met a number of Christians here in Brazil. Most say they follow the Ten Commandments but cannot list them, and some have total faith in the Holy Bible but have not read a single word of it! They know that most Brazilians are Christians, and also that it is one of the most corrupt and violent countries in the world, however they attribute the crime to the few non-believers. Interestingly anyone and anything gets robbed ? except the church or the priests! Hmmmmm…..
