Chaos in the Holy Land

This article was quite funny. I enjoyed the orderly way that the atheist thought, and I can think of quite a few people in my life who think like this. I like how the dead wasp becomes a character in itself and is capitilized.

I thought that this article could have acheived the same thing without the same level or crudeness. Us writers do like to talk about penisis and crackwhores, but still it seemed almost un necassary.

Overall a great read and it actually made me laugh out loud. Keep up the good work!

I'm glad you decided to submit this old TSS classic, as it was one of my old favorites. What really makes this piece hilarious is how the narrator comes off sounding serious in a not so serious situation. You came up with some pretty creative metaphors that I've never heard of before (e.g. "He glanced at his watch with the kind of indifference a crack-whore paid to a penis") which I found pretty funny. On the contrary to other opinions, I believe the length is appropriate; no need for anything longer for the humor that you were trying to accomplish.

As others have stated, the ending came instantly, which is both a good thing and a not so good thing. On one hand, it makes a great humorous transition from the little world the Atheist is in to reality. However on the other hand, I think a bit more could have been added to the last sentence to beef it up a bit more - not a lot, but just enough to keep the humor you were going for.

I showed this to a few people I know, but unfortunately they didn't get the humor in this. I suppose it uses a type of humor that appeals to a certain audience, but I found it hilarious. I'm looking forward to more of your old classics. Great job sir!

Because they do speak truths. The length is good and the depth is good. Don't eat too much or the width might start getting good.

The last two sentences felt choppy. Other than that nothing much to report

Best. Introduction. Ever

I was scared when I first laid eyes on this. I thought it was just too short for any serious development to occur. Man oh man was I wrong! This is an excellent example of Quality over Quantity, because this is certainly some quality work. This story is interesting, symbolic, and humorous. I find the symbolism and satire especially strong, and the main theme is easily discovered and understood.

There's not much I can say really. The ending is probably the weakest point of the whole story, because it really left me hanging without much to hold on to. It just stops. There's nothing to really wrap the whole thing up nicely.

Very well done. Readers will blaze through this quickly with a smirk on their face. Summarizes a lot of feelings certain people share, and I'm sure many will enjoy.

I remember reading this a while back on the old site, and still, I found it as funny as my first read. One of the things I found hilarious was the "conversation" between the Atheist and the wasp, and how he angrily speaks to it as if it was arguing back. I liked the style of wording used, it really added to the humor. The length was perfect for what you were trying to accomplish, and even though the ending seemed sort of sudden at first glance, it fit well with the rest of the story.

None really. As I stated before, the ending seemed sort of sudden, but after I looked at it, it fit well into the rest of the story.

Well done, Mick. I'm starting to enjoy your style of humor.

Keep up the good work!
