All right. As you can see, I still have not been at the business end of a smiting.
I've discussed with some fellow non-believers about the possibility that there's a bit of a game of prayer-hockey going on, between people who are praying for me to be smote (smited?) and people who are praying for God to deliver me from certain smitage. It's now going on four and a half days since I first called out God in a local newspaper forum, in defiant response to some looney suggestion that atheists are afraid of God:
In fact I'm so unafraid of God that I'll call the sadistic SOB out right here and right now. Come and get me. Hit me with that lightning bolt. Or that heart attack. It's not like you don't know where I am.
So now that you're pretty well up to date, there's still some business to which I want to attend.
A fellow member here at Think Atheist suggests that in order to increase the likelihood of a proper smiting--one which many will likely agree that I have coming--that more people should have the opportunity to sign up for the smiting. That way, if the people praying for me to be delivered from smiting are successful, but someone else gets a smiting, it's still sufficient evidence of someone there to smite us.
Now before you jump on board, I want to share some guidelines that my fellow blasphemers and I agreed to ahead of time. We don't want to be accused of moving the goal posts after the fact, after all; we want to play fair.
And so, be it known, that we, the Undersigned, are not afraid of God in the slightest (as we find it impossible to fear that which doesn't exist), and are willing to prove our lack of fear by setting our hand blah blah blah forasmuch legalspeak goes here... SMITE US.
So let it be posted, so let it be done.
Think you're the only atheist in Maine? Think again! http://centralmaineatheists.blogspot.com or follow @CMEAA on Twitter. Central Maine Atheist Alliance: Wicked good without god since 2010.
Oh, and I deny the holy spirit!

How will you know?
My twitter, if it doesn't get updated for several days--then you know. Either I was killed by a meteorite or Alabama was wiped off the face of the planet and no one survived.
Either way, my twitter is an easy litmus test of whether I'm alive or not.
I showed this to a friend who replied "you always gotta start shit, don't you?"
Me: "Oh, I didn't start the smiting thing. Credit goes to god for that."
Stop that rhyming, James, I mean it!
(Anybody wanna peanut?)
Yah.. really. Let's see some 'face melt smiting' by the almighty!!
I'm ready to catch this on the next episode of 1000 ways to die.
"A group of atheists were recently all smitted by God in some sort of strange face melting event."
Right, atheists don't have faith that God will hear us, nor do we even believe that HE exists at all, so no harm by calling out God for a grand smiting, no? It's kind of like me writing Santa a letter. No harm in that.
