First order of business, I've got another opportunity scheduled for standup; November 5, this time!
Second order of business; I have been told that I should just leave religious people alone and not bother to try and shoot down their beliefs.
I can't be the only one thinking that's somewhat of a weird stance to take. After all, religious people aren't really renowned for their tendency to just leave people alone and not try to change them, are they?
If somebody says to me "Join us or go to hell", then that person has in every way possible relinquished his or her right not to have their faith shot down by me!
So sorry, some religious people can never play the "Let us believe what we want and stop trying to convince us that we are wrong!"-card, because they will never ever honour that when it comes to others!
Fact of the matter is, whatever god christians believe in is a malicious being that wants us to either go to hell or spend eternity groveling before him. Heck, I get bored listening to one bloody sermon for an hour, and eternity of that shit is supposed to be heaven? Gimme a break!

If you are planning on making a career in stand-up, you can't possibly leave out one of the most promising fields of human stupidity, i.e. religious people. On the other hand, to be an excellent comedian you have to be able to let people laugh at themselves and there might not be too many piously religious people at a bar at 3 am. Though if they are, you should by all means feel free to mock them! :-)
As for the theological debate on the nature of God, a stand-up comedian can and should point out any flaws in theological arguments while still keeping an open mind.
After all, God might be nice. Or as a friend of mine said: "I don't have any problem with God, it's his fanclub I can't stand!"
