I am pretty much of that same mindset. I'd probably lead with HOW DARE YOU!! and WTF were you thinking?

@Castlepaloma Well hell will certainly have a lot more interesting people if the Xtain gawd's rules apply universally and heaven by comparison, is going to be populated solely by Fred Phelps, Torquemada and bunch of Catholic school Nuns.

why did he put the balls of human men outside the body where they are vulnerable? Other animals are more protected. Yeah, there was no intelligence in our design.

@HippieChick58

Women needed somewhere to hit, for self defense. God doesn't have balls or he would show up.

@HippieChick58 The explanation I've heard is that an enzyme needed to curl the DNA small enough to fit in the head of a spermatozoa cannot function at the body's internal temperature. The placement derives from a location where the enzyme can function. Only hyenas have solved this problem.

God spends all his money on advertising and promotions. All he wants is to be worshipped and your soul..

@Castlepaloma Actually, God has addiction problems and owes Satan money for his gambling debt, drug habit and hooker fetish. Does not the Bible say we are created in his image?

@Danny928

Save Satan , since it's God's favorite adversary.

It is highly likely that it will respect that.

I agree, but, these would be good questions to ask a believer. I think it would really make them squirm a little.

Said a Fictional Fool.

@GipsyOfNewSpain Am I the fictional fool you are referring to?

@Betty Who knows with that guy? I had him blocked but somehow that went away so I just blocked him again.

The sheep herders guild to the Universe, sure lacked the internet.

A wild guess, stardust

The same thing that "created" the life everywhere on the planet. Primordial soup, and evolution. That's IMO of course.

You cruel son of a bitch!

@Flyingsaucesir I have been very cruel to myself but, with meditation, I'm hoping to be kinder at this moment.

@rainmanjr Good luck dog!

@Flyingsaucesir Zen has helped by making me alone and debt free. I have almost zero family, certainly none who are in any way close, and old friends are deserting so detachment is an easier achievement. However, when done in accord with evidence and logic, it is more of simple dispassion than unconcern. Most humans will not get this because they won't even get close to such detachment. Shrug. Maybe I'm nuts but IDC. I am no longer having anxiety over politics or constant sorrows of the world. Literally the world (where something rotten happens a lot every day). I now focus on control of the only thing I might have some control over: Me.

@rainmanjr
I completely support you in the IDC approach. (I've been known to also use the IDGAFF method). Life is a joke with a dumb punchline. Have fun with it while we have it.

@BOBdammit Every single person dying in the world, today, was going to die at some point. It is arrogant of us to attempt control through "concern" and worry. Tao does not concern itself with life or non-life so neither should we.

@rainmanjr
Hence, the aforementioned IDGAFF approach. Simply laugh everything off.

@BOBdammit I prefer to say that I accept each event as what must be. There may be a billion possibilities but what happens in each moment is what is and what must be. Altering actions within each moment may alter the suffering every action contains but can not eliminate suffering. To hold the expectation of eliminating suffering is an ego trip (as is any expectation) since we have no such ability.

@rainmanjr
I would love to continue this discussion in depth without plattitudes.

@BOBdammit IDK what you refer to as a platitude. If asked a question I try to respond. If merely badgered I do not.

@rainmanjr
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

@273kelvin There's no such thing as death as an electron is pure energy (which doesn't die). If all we are is a dreaming electron than each of us (who are a real electron) are an individual entity (like an island). "I am a rock. I am an island."
