    You should see it this way: Look at our world. Look at the bad things. Look at the horrific things. God lets all those things happen AND he wants his dick sucked as if he doing jack shit is a good thing.

    Go to hell. Be a rebel. Be proud of it.

      The worst people in this world don’t think about these things. They are the ones in “heaven”.

      If that’s the company in heaven, it sounds fucking awful.

        Dead babies?

        “God works in mysterious ways.”

        “Trust God’s plan.”

        “Everything happens for a reason.”

        “You have to have faith.”

        “We should pray.”

        “He is testing our faith, like the book of Job.”

        These are the bullshit answers they give us because they don’t really have an answer.

        And when something good happens what do they say?

        “God is good!”

        “Praise the Lord!”

        Look, believe in God all you want but when someone pisses on you, don’t call it rain.

        Have a meaningful conversation of how an all powerful, good God can allow so much suffering. Either he isn’t good or he isn’t powerful.

          Evolution is driven by adversity. Organisms experience stress, seek to relieve themselves of that stress, and improve upon their function iteratively over billions of years.

          Pain is a form of information which gives an organism an imperative to change. And with a great number of organisms, you will necessarily have a great deal of suffering. But without that pain, you lose the incentive to change. The end result is stagnation and decay. A lack of pain isn’t joy, it’s numbness. A lack of adversity does not imply triumph but inertia. What you’re asking for isn’t a Utopia, it’s the heat death of the universe.

            I get it. Rape, murder, war, horrific disease, and all the other “adversity” the all-knowing cock known as God allows is for our own good. It’s like a man beating his wife so she’ll know better next time. She’ll evolve due to the information provided by his fist.

            “What you’re asking for isn’t a Utopia, it’s the heat death of the universe.” I dunno about you but all I’m looking for is a little less genocide, maybe a bit fewer hungry children, maybe some consequences for well-known pedophiles.

            I guess if there is no horrific suffering in the world we won’t evolve. I volunteer you for the next horror, you piece of shit.

      Yeah, God is kinda an asshole, and if hes not, and hes worried about our opinions of him he really needs to work on his messaging and explaining why stuff has to be so shitty. Being God and all I imagine that isn’t beyond his abilities…

      You know, assuming he existed…

      Literally the Al Pacino line while he’s trying to convince his son to fuck his sister.

      Go to hell. Be a rebel. Be proud of it.

      I would simply break the Cycle of Samsara and rejoin the Cosmic Singularity by freeing myself from materialistic desire.
