- GidDoctor Chris Thutmoose, G.V.

Out of all the philosophical and theological arguments that can be put forth for Gid’s existence, none is more popular than the Argument for Mood Swings. For the novices to the Church of Gid, a short summary of this famous argument is included here.

I have to thank Gid for the existence of this argument, which was first revealed to mankind in by Gid, in which He presented the GidDoctor Bithlos with a short, concise essay. It is convenient that Gid Himself prepares the arguments for His own existence, truly an advantage Gidism has over any other religions.

Many non-believers or believers of competing religions present their deities as somehow all-knowing and all-powerful. But this itself is a paradox. Take this anecdote, which Gid has specially prepared. Let’s say Ra, the Egyptian sun-god, knew 5000 years ago I was to write this essay, as he should, being an all powerful deity. Can he stop me from writing it? If he does, then he cannot be all-knowing, because he would have known that he would stop me. But if he can’t, then he cannot be all-powerful, because he cannot stop me from writing it. To be both all-knowing and all-powerful is paradoxical, yet is a common claim for all other deities.

Using the argument that I have explained above, it must be concluded that deities cannot be perfection personified. And this is where Gid stands out from the pack. Gid is insecure, often excitable, and subject to mood-swings. The Great Hesitation is the only the most famous example of this. The citizens of Tonlid will attest that their town was exterminated just because He was jealous of Jehovah. Often Gid acts in irrational and stupid ways. The parable of the Missing Nail Clippers is virtually useless as a moral tale, yet it forms the basis of True ethics. Gid changed the promising Gerwin into a crab, even when he was about to bring people proper sanitation. The Flood was a really stupid idea, but totally consistant with Gid's psychology. The Annual Deity Conference debacle highlights his insecurities.

But I am not arguing that Gid is a useless deity, or in any way deficient. Gid's flaws are his anecdotal strengths. A True deity cannot be perfect. Gid's mood swings (hence the name of this argument) affirm His very existence. We were created in Gid's image, albeit His vision of an attractive mate, and we have mood swings, so it must be concluded that He has similar changes of emotions. If Gid did not exist, as is argued by the vast majority of the 'intellectuals' and 'scholars' (who are nothing more than spleen worshippers and they like to eat children, by the way) then where did our mood swings and emotions come from? Are we supposed to believe that they just developed out of nothing, or worse, WE invented them? I ask any of the so called 'scientists' to prove THAT.
