One problem I've always had with the creation myth is who god was talking to.

When he said "let there be light", was he talking to himself?
Is god a loony? It makes sense !!

Why the fuck did he even need a mouth, or anything else?

Because God is just the void, with intelligence apparently.

... plus an irrational hatred of pigs - despite the fact that he created them.

I don't often agree with him, but I think Christopher Hitchens was right on the money with that one.

Somebody must have already done the "let there be air", because otherwise he couldn't have said "let there be light", because you need air for the vocal cords and to transmit the sounds.
And air to vibrate the eardrums of the angels who were listening, apparently.

That's another point. Angels must be able to see in the dark, or they would have been crashing into each other before god said "let there be light". Perhaps they have sonar, like bats.

It's all very complicated.

I guess perhaps those are the words he was thinking when he created everything. I guess god speaks Hebrew too. I mean, if that's what they were speaking in the beginning before the story of Babel.

I think that on the soundbite theory the "talking snake" quip was the best shot available.

In a longer conversation, you can engage them on not understanding what they're dissing. They're just like any other crank; all you need is reality.
