I hate God, because God is an Ass. If this is true, then my life sucks because of this. If this isn't true, and God is forgiving, then I have nothing to worry about. And if I turn out to be wrong and he's not forgiving, I'm screwed anyway. If God doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter, does it?

I think it's safer to go through life believing this. What do you think?

Your Friend,

Paul

But your my God now...Haha, "Ass".

Very neat.

------------------
The proof is in the pudding but I'm not very hungry and besides I don't like pudding very much except when I'm hungry for pudding and even then I'd rather have pie cause I really like pie though I don't like it very much when I don't feel like eating pie and then pudding is more likely to be appealing to me if there isn't any chocolate to be had cause I really like chocolate a real lot no matter what but there isn't any proof in chocolate unless there is but I wouldn't know cause someone ate my chocy and it wasn't me or I would have the proof if there is any in chocolate that is or is not likely to be the aproppriate chocolate for the given situation

How is it that iamy got 20 posts in less than a week? Spam, anyone?

But, on the topic, God is not an ass, as I assume ass is being used as the insult, not the animal, and the insult means fool. God's more likely crazy, evil, and sadistic.

people are so self centered to think that god actually even gives a shit.

what is it about you inparticular that a divine entity who created everything cares whether or not you personally are happy.

talk about an ego trip, or a scape goat, depending on your position.

"god doesn't exist, because if he did i'd be king."

there's people where you live who don't give a shit about you.

how about loving god because

1) if he werente forgiving he may still like you

2)if hes forgiving...well...he might just forgive you for loving him

3)'love' is far better than 'hate' because violence only begets violence...and that goes for thoughts and emotions as well as actions

*repeats as chant* ass

How about you stop telling people how to act?

How `bout you stop trying to diverrt topics. The reply was appropriatte for the topic.

VeneFrigus,

I wasn't talking about its appropriatness for this topic. It was a response to what i hate the most. People telling others how to act. Like they don't have a mind of their own. And why must you try to redirect/divert the intent of my post? And as a side note when have you ever seen a thread in this forum ever stay on topic?

To be on topic,
Why god is an ass? Well... IF god did exist I have lived long enough to see the horrors of this world. IF he was caring he would have helped these people in need long ago. I can only conclude if god exists god doesn't care about us. And yes that would make him an ass in the human point of view.

And yes god can do things to help us that doesn't affect our free will. Example: creating fields of lush fruits, corn, wheat, etc. Creating sprawls of animals in those fields. This can be done all over the world where hunger exists. This would go a long way in eliminating hunger.

In response to Schwabe The Zer0,
Why love someone who doesn't give a shit about you? who might even not exist? Why not love your fellow man? Everyone seems to waste their love on god. Who in my opinion really doesn't need it. I agree that love is a great and wonderous thing, but why waste it on god?

Show me the proof god's an ass.

soullace, I was simply providing a view contrary to his, he is telling to hate god, and he did in a good form of discussion say

>>>>>I think it's safer to go through life believing this. What do you think? <<<<<<

I never 'tell people what to think' I offer them other ideas with support...

and also why love someone when it doesnt matter? It does matter, what you think of others is reflected onto your own consciousness...now the corny character ned flanders for example on the simpsons loves even homer simpson...his life seems pretty good, happiness is a base for more hapiness, but as shakeshpere says 'Violent begginnings beget violent ends'

And on another note
If you are going to take into account the possibility that god exists (not being scientific here at all) then in christian preachings it says he is forgiving, but also condeming to those non repentent, so by hating him for being an ass you arent apologizing for all of the 'sins' that you cant help committing...

so, if you wnat to look at it in if he exists is this safe? By far no.

Loving someone(people) is what im am advocating. It seems funny to shift the focus of our love to god. People need the love not god.

" It does matter, what you think of others is reflected onto your own consciousness ...(cliped for length) ... 'Violent begginnings beget violent ends'

If god exists then the possiblity of other gods must exist off of the same merit. If you are basing your belief off of fear of going to hell, you should ask yourself what are the other gods that could exist going to do to me?

My main concern is religion SEEMS(to me) to focus your attention more towards your afterlife. Don't worry about your world around you, just be a good boy or girl solid in your faith and you'll go to heaven.

I realize that people whom have religion are not like that above paragraph. But as you said, its your repentance that gains your acceptance into heaven, not the sins you commit while you are here. As long as you repent for them, all is well. This troubles me.

I have seen priests whom I admire. They offer the generousity which makes me see the positive side of religion and humanity. I would like to see this without the dogma.

what do i think? (as was asked at the beginning of this topic)

* BEGIN RANT MODE *

sure god is forgiving, but you've gotta WANT to be forgiven. he ain't just gonna say "oh, you did nothing good or anything, but i'm gonna let you into heaven anyway." nuh uh, that's not how it works. if you screw up your life, just expecting god to forgive you when ya die and not doing anything to get that, you're gonna be reaaaally disappointed. if you want to be forgiven, you have to ask, and if ya really mean it, then he will. but you can't just say that then go back to all the sex, drugs and shit that this world throws at ya.

* END RANT MODE *

Why is God an ass? Hmmmm. Let me ask Him.
No reply, just a withering look.

It's hard to be an ass when you don't necessarily exist...

Going through life with a 'backup plan' might not be the best course of action, or it might be. I guess having a 'plan b' in case god exists would be good. Everyone, get out your bibles now! If god does exist, he's going to damn your ass if you dont pray! eek.

And if Osiris exists you better get out your book of the dead.

Etc, etc, etc.

exactly. your torah, your bible, your book of the dead, your kuran. if you dont want to be damned for eternity, you'd better start reading A LOT.

i hate it when people confuse religion with god.

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

if god had a plan for man, he would not have told moses on the hilltop by himself.

he would've come down the hill with him.

if god wanted you to read the book of the dead, the bible, the koran, or mother goose

HE WOULD FUCKING TELL YOU HIMSELF.

is it so hard to imagine a god,

that doesn't want your worship,
that doesn't want your prayers

that wants you to enjoy life,

and for god's sake live it on your own, without being dependant upon him to clear up the shit THAT YOU YOURSELF get into.

lostmind, you can't used your theist belief in god to remove the common belief in god from christianity. Most people relate god to christanity and hence the bible. So therefore god and religion are commonly tied, and this is what im talking about.

Getting into heaven requires you follow religious dogma to do so. Or so the church would like you to believe. Reguardless if this is right or wrong, the attitude that we should believe just incase is invalid. My point was that: just incase can be applied to the many religions that are out there.

Anyways i know god doesn't need to be attached to a religion, but most people do attach god to a relgion.

"and for god's sake live it on your own, without being dependant upon him to clear up the shit THAT YOU YOURSELF get into."

Tell 'em lost!

"lostmind, you can't used your theist belief in god to remove the common belief in god from christianity. Most people relate god to christanity and hence the bible. So therefore god and religion are commonly tied, and this is what im talking about"

good point soullace,

but all these people who don't think religion is worth the paper it's written on...

sure take to heart what that same religious piece of paper tells them about god.

these are the people that need on and off on their light switches as well.

for clarity.

these are the people that need the warning label on their hair-dryer.

for liability.

people like this are the reason preparation-h has to clearly say on the box...

"For External Use Only...If taken internally please consult a physician immediately."

if they wouldn't tell you, you wouldn't know.

Does anyone here really honestly believe they can logic their way into heaven?

Methinks God's only hiding out on that cloud up in the air smokin his stash (how do you think the cloud got made?) cause of all the annoying dipshit churchies down here, if you wanted to talk to someone and everytime you went over to their place there was 50 ppl all saying "we love you! you rock our world! oh baby." and talking bullshit constantly, you wouldnt go anywhere either. blame the church for a distinct lack of god, they've got him tied up in fucking metaphysical paperwork in the vatican or some shit, so they can exploit his fucking property all over the world.

anyway, if its a house OF god, then why the fuck isnt the deed in gods name? if this worked properly he'd own fuckin property all over the world, n quite possibly his own private army. maybe gods some baddude from a movie just waiting to be unleashed onto the world yet, or some shit like that.

is it me or did i say absolutely nothing constructive there? damn, ummm,
Church and God are like religion and politics, shit only starts getting fucked up once you mix the two up, im sure you could change a few words round, adjust the decor a lil an have the Church of Microsoft(tm) where everyone goes on sundays to waste money, drink coffee and attempt to socialize without alcohol (bill gates's date couldnt bring any alcohol cause he's 5 years old.) that and theres only one bottle of wine between everyone, so everyone has to line up in front of the great computer after lan games and bill gates gets everyone "drunk" off one sip each. fuckin cadburys.

*looks at his post in confusion*
i think ill leave it at that. /:|
