Lastly, you all need a refresher course on Demon Penguins.

The flame wars regarding them are long-standing. AgentGenius, that scoundrel, actually wrote them when I wasn't looking. Even before that, the image of a Demon Penguin was used for the original "Fright" template.

I was one of the first to wage war on COC basis, and after a long edit war and huge flaming fight with AG, I was able to put a million and one weaknesses and had my "all demon penguins are evil by default" mandate made into the article. While I couldn't delete it, I didn't completely lose. When Mec came along and made the articles take a turn to proper site literature, as only she could, I just sucked it up and turned a blind eye, with the acception for new attempts on that subject. I even gave my de facto approval by encouraging and using Mister Icarius.

Besides, Demon Penguins have been linked and used to the point that they are irrevocable core articles. Unless we want to invoke the Burger Analogy, we can't delete Demon Penguin.

Oh, and it's one of those never-speaketh-of-that-phrase-ye-fool moments, sort of like MacBeth (knock on virtual wood a million times in a field of four-leaf clovers while holding onto a horseshoe), but it's rather obvious that the BOF is God, Inc.. I have a pact of self-censorship regarding the BOF to never refer to it as what it actually is, although I've made a reference to it in the past.

I consider it an acceptable substitute for a diety primarily because it is highly flawed, bureaucratic, and at times, villanious and in advancement of its own agenda. It's not anything like God- at least the Judeo-Christian God -even though it holds a good chunk of His powers. As Explorer said, it's not God or a lot of gods, it's a Celestial Bureaucracy.
