Get the godwater mug.Goddities, noun: From "god oddities". Goddities are god thingies where their supporters though repeatedly challenged, still cannot provide any evidence that their god thingies possess any attributes that earn them the right to be regarded as deities and where they are prima facie ridiculous, in that they cannot assist their supporters in any way in this process, no matter the cost to their followers of their belief.
I know there are no god thingies, but the goddities I don't believe in wouldn't need to sacrifice their children in order to forgive people for things they didn't do.
