    If god were to be real I’d like to think that finite and cringe concepts like “do you love me because I killed myself for you? (Tick the according box)” would be so laughably far removed from the conversation that’s it’s not even up for consideration.

    The supposed almighty creator, who resides over everything in existence itself,…. Spends it’s time worrying wether or not you touched yourself and why you didn’t believe in the santa guy from a book mostly used by evil conmen. Don’t make me laugh.

      A long time ago, I had a friend bitching that people weren’t getting all dressed up at her church. I’ve always said that if God was real, they wouldn’t give a rats ass what people wore to church.

      It never seems to occur to them that if there was an entity so powerful that it could literally create an entire Universe out of nothing, and then monitor the progress of ever single element of that Universe, then that entity would be far too complex for our puny human minds to even comprehend.

      And yet there are those among us who would dare to claim to know exactly what that all-powerful entity is thanking, and what it wants from us, and oh, yeah, it always costs a lot of money, gimme.

        This always confused me too. It would be like an ant trying to understand the motivations of a human.

          I have used that exact analogy, asking why the omniscient entity would care about the needs of any single individual ant out of a colony of billions?
