Stallman is an atheist, but he uses religious expressions and extreme caricatures like that to be funny. If you're mortally offended, you're taking it the wrong way. He can be very witty, if your skin is thick enough to appreciate his sense of humor. At a science fiction convention in the 80's, Mike and I (who worked for "Evil Software Hoarder" Unipress on Gosling's "Evil" commercial version of Emacs) ran across RMS: Mike said: "Hello, Richard. I heard a rumor that your house burned down. That's terrible! Is it true?" RMS replied right back: "Yes, it did. But where you work, you probably heard about it in advance." Everybody laughed. It was a joke! Nobody's feelings were hurt. He's a funny guy, quick on his feet!
