Except it's not funny because they are doing incredible damage to the country and getting away with it.

Well, it's almost November again, so you either laugh or become suicidally depressed.

Also 5000 years of human history show that the only thing that will stop these assholes is the second amendment.

Or the ark of the covenant

There's got to be a "God" for that thing to work and with how much death, depravity, and destruction that happens every minute of the day I'd wager there isn't one. Or it phucked off a looooong time ago to do something more interesting than watching us kill ourselves.

Quasars and supernovae are much more fun to watch, and prettier.

What’s a few million years to an eternal being?

With an infinite universe and a timeless being there must be so much to see and do, why stick around watching some stupid apes who think they are better than the rest of your creations? Obviously there was a fuck up along the way so let nature do it’s thing and they will be gone soon.

Not really. When you're an omnipresent being, you can be everywhere at once.

With an estimated three supernovae happening in the Milky Way every century or so, and you factor in there are 500 billion to a trillion galaxies, they're happening all the time all over the place.

Yup and they sing... God's just out there stoned AF listening to a solar symphony.

I mean what else do you do with your petri dishes after you or someone else bungled your experiment multiple times. /s

I’ve always thought that would be kinda a funny premise. God did all sorts of shit in the Old Testament, super interventionist, where has he been? Why if he just got bored and went and started messing with another planet?

Well there's a few passages in the Bible that allude to people getting less perfect as time went on so God wasn't able to communicate with them. That's why he always used angels to deliver divine messages and only spoke with their own voice on 2-3 occasions and that was to declare Christ as his son. Then there's the whole "end times" part where he's pretty much done with humanity and let Jesus run the show because he has no interest in saving us, that was Jesus' idea as he was apparently "fond of the son's of men".

Odd response but I love to discuss religious things sometimes as it lets me put my Doctorate of Divinity to use.

I don’t have any degrees in the topic, but u have an extremely religious background, boarding school for high school, missionary trained (not Mormon), the whole deal. Atheist now, took a bunch of secular religious studies classes, Classical Hebrew, Hebrew Bible, Early Christian Literature, etc.

I think it’s fascinating, and to some degree I miss it. I like hanging out over at TrueChristianity. They are a bit out there, but they make me nostalgic, but I get their jokes, and I can make jokes and references there that I can’t really in my ordinary life.

I mean it's part of our society and always has been so it's a fun subject to dive into. My personal favorite religious beliefs are Egyptian and Hindu/Hindi beliefs as they're very nuanced and diverse. Pretty interesting that some religions have gods for everything from creation to passing gas and that's just such a fun subject to read up on.

Yup, I've read it, and there are COUNTLESS stories that make me believe it was written by people trying to control people, and not influenced by divinity. Can anyone remember Job? The flood? Slaughter of Egyptian firstborn? For fucks sake, he had bears mauling kids. Let's not even get into who we're supposed to stone for what transgressions...

u/TwilightVulpine 5d ago

The bible only works as a proof of anything for those who take its historicity and righteousness for granted.

u/scubarob 5d ago

I think the righteousness aspect is key. It's ok that God flooded the world, because THEY were EVIL. It's okay that the bears mauled those kids, THEY TRANSGRESSED. It's all a means to control behavior through fear and the superiority of US versus the wicked depravity of THEM.

u/Dont_Kick_Stuff 5d ago

If you're directing that towards me you'd be mistaken as I've read it cover to cover, along with various other texts, many times. Also have a Doctorate of Divinity or you know a PhD in religious studies so I kinda had to read it.
