'Feigned dislike'? Are you kidding me? You think I was pretending to dislike it?
God and Paxo Page 2
the sketch is very similar to one I saw on another writing site, same interview format, even the "but you are love" and the stuff about Noah and WW2 and that was back around May last year.

I bet you a fiver you can't find it on that other site NOW. 
Got to say it was well written but the actual content was low-brow, rather than a withering deconstruction of a belief system. Setting up a straw dog and knocking it down is easy. Knocking down the real thing, whatever a sketch's target is, is much harder.
To avoid the easy way out of swearing to end (yes, I know the Slaggs did it a few times in the past and I'm aware that I'm a hypocrite 
) I'd have had God tell Paxman if it's that easy then he do the job and then reverse the sketch and have Paxman on the ropes for a change, as God gives him the hard questions.
Saying that, I do like your style COF.

Yes, I agree entirely, this is part of what I was saying. It's the kind of argument you hear the pub bore come out with all the time.
Thanks for your comments SlagA and James.
SlagA's suggested ending would be absolutely fine but it would, obviously, produce a very different sketch. I'm not suggesting it would be less funny or in any way inferior to my original version but it would be very different.
In fact, you could run my sketch one week and re-run it the following week with SlagA's suggested ending. Now, there's an idea!
When all's said and done, whatever I write, I write with one intention and one intention only - to entertain people. If I can change the world (for the better) in the process, that's fine. But if people enjoy what I write and then return to the same old world they've always lived in, that's fine too.
I'm not Martin Luther King and I'm not Ghandi.
I'm just me.

You'd give your right goolie to be able to write anything HALF as good as this sketch.
Ha, yeah.
It's such a shame I'll never know if you're just being a wally for a laugh, or if you genuinely believe this.
Just seen your reply now, there were 2 on the site, the original has been deleted, but someone else did one that was based on it.
So without further ado... http://www.writersdock.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=41614&highlight=god+interview
Chimes why are you deleting your work?

I hope you thought the original version the better of the two?
Because we criticised it and he can't take it.

Did someone nick your work? (can't get into that link without registering)

This work of art has now been removed by its author.
A classic case of now you see it . . . now you don't.
Is this to make all your sketches Limited Editions, or are you worried someone would nick them?
Or probably nearer the truth you just start a thread - mark it deleted - so people think you did write something but in reality you've never written anything.
Well - how would we know?

I don't get the joke here. The dialogue is realistic but I doubt the smilie will translate into print.
The mysterious stroyline in the middle is quite promising but I assume you'll have to resolve this at some point. Like revealing who the author is.
I think you over-puntuated the last line but thats what the delete button is for.
And don't take this the wrong way but you are getting a bit repetitive. Two previous posts have contained the exact same lines.
Quote: Chimes of Freedom @ February 7, 2008, 8:07 AMIt's something I've always done when posting work on the net.
I post something, people review it positively and/or negatively, some discussion ensues (or not, as the case may be), I delete it . . . and we all move on.
Can i ask why you do this? Can't you just delete your work when it falls off the bottom of the page? e.g. when users aren't discussing it anymore
Let's hope no one quotes the original work in a reply
