Quote:

He followed up the tweet almost two hours later with: "Bad attempted Australian humour, sorry if I offended you."

He deleted the original message from his account and expressed further remorse in another Twitter message later: "My sincere apologies to the Muslim community. A stupid tweet by me in very bad taste."

...The comments drew a storm of vitriol directed at Hogg, some tweets labelling his remarks "disgraceful".

What a moron.

Even Pharoah called out to God when the waves came crashing down on him.

Atheists are just liars, deep down they know there is a God.

How can the world exist without God?

God created the whole world, we have no right to complain about it, only to be grateful at the gift of life. Each second of life is a gift.

I thought it was insulting to Muslims and was better not said at all.....It says more about the people who see no problem with this insult than the people it was meant to offend!!!

Th Pharaohs were NEVER atheists.

Superstitious primitives like most people of the time.

And the only "evidence" that the "waves came crashing down on him" and that he "called out to god" is in the bible itself.

Hardly unbiased and reliable.
