God question/rant

[Kidlicious]

I think you missed something. It's got nothing to do with disagreeing with me.

[Pekka]

Pretty much so. The source of being smart begins with the realization how stupid one really is and how little we really know.

But if Kid suggests that God made stupid and smart people, why is that? What's the logic behind it? Is it like some sort of ... failing components, just bad manufacturing? If so, God isn't omnipotent, so God must have done it on purpose. What is the purpose?

Why did God give man an ego? And why aren't we just tons more intelligent?

Why do we think that God is a white man? If God created men and animals, surely it suggests that God isn't in human form at all. Furthermore, some would suggest that well, God appears as humans to us. Ok. Why? So we can identify with God? THat makes very little sense. Maybe God will wear a party hat for me, because I like parties?

THis is all human interpretation and logic, it matters very little and describes the reality poorly. If God is real and let's assume there is a God, we should realize we know little and most we know has been bastardized through our low class brains for thousands of years by now.

SO why are some people stupid and some people smart? At least smart comparing to those who are stupid. Aren't we all equal? And people who take things as they're been told, because that's what it is, most of us haven't had any revelation where God spoke to us directly and told us how it is, and most who claim they did are a) liars b) insane c) con artists, then we are taking the word of others, and yet we somehow "well it is the word of...". No it isn't . You know the broken phone effect, the story changes a little in the way, and we're humans, it's bound to happen, it's ridiculous to claim it won't happen.

So most stupid people do claim this. Why is it, that if you have half a brain and question the logic, that somehow you're a bastard? Now, if I knew God, I'd say well, if you never question anything, you're being a blind little nazi, because that's what nazis were. You can set a good nazi situation with people like this, because they're followers, they never think, they never contribute, in fact they're the plague and the cause of most wars and the fighters of them as well and the ruin the future for everyone of us and then dare to say we are all equal so stop whining. If we are all equal, then stop ****ing up the world I also happen to live in.

My claim is, that if God exists and let's assume it is so, organized religion is still a way to control the stupid people. It's not to say you are stupid if you are part of it. But then you do realize this fact, if you don't? Then you're just stupid and the wet dream for any future nazi, you gullible ****s.

and baby Jesus cries again.

[Pekka]

Nah. LIke I said, if I was God, I would want to create thinking beings, the ones who will think and question. Not merely just boring servants.

And people who get angry for what I just said.... think about it. I never denied God. In fact, if God exists, I'm also his creation. So.... I was created like this and since God is omnipotent, my meaning of life is to tell you this stuff at this very moment. I can't be against God. It would be _impossible_. So, if this is an indirect message from God or not, you be the judge. But make no mistake, I'm not anti-God. I hope there is a God and I hope he likes me. But that doesn't mean I like nazi followers or fall under their demands to conform. On the contrary, I keep throwing poo on everyone, especially the Vatican. Can it be any richer and could it do any less with taht money to help the poor and needing people?

Not really.

It's like video cards. They have to disable pixel pipelines on some processors so that you can sell the cards they go into for a cheaper price, without dropping the premiums off the high-end models.

You might then ask why God would create a tiered market for intelligence, to which the answer will be the same analogy. Turtles all the way down!

Sure Pekka, but you chose to make Jesus cry with your free will

[Kidlicious]

Seriously, though, if there is a God, why wouldn't he/she want us to choose rationally. The Bible tells us that we should have faith, and not make the rational choice. That's what it comes down to. If we don't believe that God is like that then we are suppose to believe that we will be sent to hell (seperated from God). Well, if we are seperated from God right now, then how is that a bad thing?

[Pekka]

Well, I figure if the big deal is the free will, then God won't mind. And that would also suggest sponsoring the idea of rational thinking, not sheep mentality.

What is he doing all the time now? You know, you can't point forever to a single achievement in life and expect people to be thankful for it forwever, at some point you have to move on and start doing stuff again, otherwise you might end up as lazy bastard.

Discuss.

Thats a VERY old question.

http://www.chabad.org/library/article.htm/aid/459861/jewish/Does-Everything-Have-To-Make-Sense.html

A Roman matron was discussing Jewish belief with Rabbi Yossi ben Halafta. "Okay," she says, "I get the part about G-d creating heaven and earth. But once He got that down, what has He been doing since?"

"Since then," Rabbi Yossi replied, "He's been matchmaking."

"Matchmaking?" the matron repeated in surprise.

"Sure. Like this young lady marries this young man... and so on. Lots of matchmaking to do every day."

"That's ridiculous!" the matron exclaimed. "That's no feat for a G-d who created heaven and earth. Why, even I could do that!"

And to prove her point, that night the matron took one thousand of her male servants and one thousand of her female servants and matched them together as husband and wife.

The feat, however, was short lived. That night was a sleepless night of howling, screaming, smashed windows, slammed doors and angry voices. The next morning, men and women hobbled, limped and crawled to their mistress, whining and pleading, "I don't want this one! Please get me out of this!"

The matron immediately called for Rabbi Yossi ben Halafta to return. "There is no god like your G-d!" she proclaimed. "It is all true, your Torah is indeed beautiful and praiseworthy, and you spoke the truth!"

God has seriously been sucking it up at that, at least in regards to me.

[Alexander's Horse]

God has been on a long, long holiday, so what?

In case of the OP it was also a VERY serious one

I hope he didn't match me up with my exwife!
