A friend of mine posted this on FB today : So it seems that God has all these universes and species and so on to attend to. But he wants a relationship with one particular group of primates. And he's especially concerned with what we do, specifically what we do and with whom while naked.... does that about sum it up? Not sure how that makes sense.... Not to many responses to her post !! lol 😂

Just try to explain to this person there is no god that gives a flying fuck about anything. The universe has and always be the way it is.another way to approach this is this god is omnipotent, and had perfect plans, would this being change his date book to suit this single persons plans? I think not.

And he gave us a brain with free will that would enable us to kill off and destroy all his other creations .Sounds like a nut job with a plan

A great argument against the existence of this god is that I can see so many ways in which I would have done a much better job...and I would certainly be more loving and merciful.

Not only this; but on this tiny planet, full of tiny beings, this god singled out a teeny, tiny tribe in the middle of nowhere and made them his favorite instead of revealing itself equally to all its creation.

Exactly!!! It’s always a chosen one or group when they talk that nonsense.

Vanity, he made us in his image so doting on us is like preening himself in the mirror.

I'm an agnostic and do not subscribe to any religions, but I am skeptical that humans are primates for a multitude of scientific reasons. This is a very extensive argument, too long to type it out, but if you are interested it can be reviewed on YouTube. Search for Lloyd Pye - Everything You Know Is Wrong

This shows what a complete failure the American education system is.

Pye makes money from publishing books saying crazy shit. I doubt he even believes the shit he is shoveling ... and HE doesn't care, as long as the ignorant, uneducated masses eat it up and spew it out again on social media. Doing that makes more book sales for him, and more money. Rinse and repeat. Sad that anyone would believe his trash.

@exculpatoryLover - you state "I am skeptical that humans are primates for a multitude of scientific reasons". Please, list those reasons with the studies that back them up ... then you might have a little credibility. Just because our genome is approximately 98.5% the same as our primate cousins shouldn't be a big hurdle, because I am sure Pye has some explanation for it.

Just because some whacko says something and you believe it doesn't make it true.

Do you just ignore fossil evidence and the fact that we share 98.7% of our DNA with Chimpanzees and Bonobos? It is a scientific fact that we are related.

@Joanne ~ I m aware, even mice share over 90% of their DNA with humans. But you are ignoring the chromosomes. Go deeper into the subject material. Apes have the same DNA spread out over an additional chromosome. It I almost as if the 2nd and 3rd chromosome in an ape was genetically engineered into a single chromosome, reducing the Ape's 24 into the Human's 23 with the material itself remaining the same. There is no other species found to do this, thus the argument it is not a natural occurrence and the argument about ancient space visitors and them manufacturing the human species as it is written in ancient texts most dismiss today, Like the Sumerians for example and the Enuma Elish... which was to source for the Jews and Genesis, a word for word plagiarism... LOL

@ExculpatoryLover I think chromosomal fusion explains how that happened. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

I don't know if the lack of answers is due to lack of arguments or to outrage from many people who believe in God...

It doesn't really make sense.... which is why I don't believe any of it.

I've heard that somewhere else before, ah, Sam Harris as I see in the comments. Your friend should include one of the videos below. Perhaps that will get her more comments, unless that's too much to ask?

That's a direct quote from Sam Harris. I love it.

Very egocentric view

Do expound Sir ..

@Outsideit67 that we are the center of anything

@bobwjr right on!!

Sounds just about right to me.

LOL! If Man is made in the image of God, with what or whom does God have sex with?

The Xians only speak of the father, son and holy ghost, which sounds gay and incestuous.

@EdEarl Uh-huh. So what's with the absence of XX chromosomes?

@anglophone egophiles

@Athena I had forgotten about the Harris comment below, but Hitchens says something along the same lines:

And don't forget he populated the earth NOT ONCE...BUT TWICE through INCEST...I wonder how the dinner conversations were ... "So...who's turn is it to do mom tonight?"..."What do you mean I have to do both her and my two sisters?" ... "I don't give a shit HOW sick dad is, I'm FUCKING EXHAUSTED!"... 😛

How about the story about Lot? His daughters get him drunk and take advantage of dear old Dad.

@david75090 The Christian and Muslim faiths are OBSESSED with what goes on behind closed doors. I threw that fact at a Methodist Minister once and he tried to claim that "the DNA was more pure back then so you could get away with it"...WHAT THE FUCK...NOOOOO...they make shit up as they go along. I then threw one of the Old Testament passages at him that was contradictory and all he could do was raise his hands and say, "it's ONE of God's mysteries". I shook my head and told him, "you got nothing". He gave up.

@phoenixone1 ~ The Christians and Muslim are very Jewish, let's not forget where they come from.

This is the point where it all starts getting preposterous. One can believe in a deity without going too far out on a limb. But to then believe that you know the mind of said deity, and whether it disapproves of you eating pork or shrimp, masturbating, or has sent natural disasters because of homosexuality or fornication, that's the point I say GTFO!

Right on !! This is one of the main obstacles that holds us back as a people ,but also served as a form of peace and comfort for our ancestors who went through a holocaust of their own in the United States. My Mother has told me of stories from her time in Jim Crowe and they definitely needed something to keep them going , but it is time for this generation to let the nonsense go !!

Cue the Chewbacca defense - "It does not make any sense!"

Wraaaaaahhhhhh....(wookie call)

Reminds me of a scene in Avengers: Endgame.
Rhodey tries slagging Captain Marvel about being the "new girl".
She shuts him down by telling him Earth isn't the only planet that needs her help.

I realize it has nothing to do with the topic, but that's what it made me think of.

Yes, god is especially concerned with what you do while naked and whomever you do something with. As he watches us all it gets worse when you become aware that he watches you naked and taking a crap as well.

so god's a voyeur.

Preach love, open-mindedness, kindness, acceptance, love and grace
Practice pettiness, narrow-mindedness, rejection, hatred, and just plain meanness.

Oh no ...he saw??? All my secret love tricks????

@DavidRooney Oh no! Don't put that, there! Oops, too late...

He sees you when you are shitting
He knows when you masturbate
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for Gah-ah-aaah-Od's Sake!!
