Is it strange that I want there to be a God ?

[LastPoet]

I once was god, then I realized LSD is one hell of a drug.

[Baalzebutt]

If you really stop and think about it, god has but one purpose: To relieve us of the responsibility of our actions.

Without god, we have only ourselves to hold accountable for our actions. With god, he has placed the responsibility for our actions on himself (jesus) by proxy.

This is probably my fundamental problem with god and religion. If you look at our world today, you can take virtually any problem that exists and break it down to a basic lack of personal responsibility. We live in a world where everything is somebody else's fault. If people would simply be ACCOUNTABLE for their actions, our world would be much different.

So, to answer your question, no it is not strange that you want god to be real. It is human nature to not want to be responsible for our actions. Disbelief in god, by its very definition, places responsibility for our actions directly on our own shoulders.

The thought that we do "bad" things of our own accord is not a particularly comforting idea.

So God is to blame for Satan ruling over the world? At least that's cleared up then.

sure blame God for everything
He is God after all
and guess what....eventually God kills everybody too

If god is indeed responsible for these things, then is he worthy of worship?

[My imaginary friend is GOD]

Life would be much simpler if I could believe in God. Then there would be a moral order. That would be nice.

[Question Mark]

Then there would be a moral order. That would be nice.

Huh? How?

[Mystical]

a God of judgment
God declared war on the world once adam turned it over to satan
what would you expect from a world at war

God is big enough to take ultimate responsibility
'See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who
put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there
is no one who can deliver from My hand.
no surprise, isn't ultimate responsibility the providence of God?

I don't blame god for anything anymore. But, humoring you: even if he did exist: the thing is, he's still nowhere doing nothing. He doesn't heal, he doesn't deliver. Thing is, all he does is puts to death and allows pain, illness, murder, torture, and he takes no responsibility for what goes on here because he does nothing. He. Does. Nothing. At the very least he's a sick fuck who finds our tribulations entertaining. And don't go spouting about Jesus, I already know that god gave his one and only begotton son. To die for mankind for a system of sin we never created in the first place, just for him to be raised from the dead and given a throne as a god. I could die too quite easily if I knew I was comin back. That's the crux of your belief: death is so much easier to handle if you know there's something thereafter. Even if you're willing to stomach the hell thing for that safety blanket, it still makes you a baby.

what makes your worship so important to Him?
what does His worthiness have to do with His existence?

what does your appeal to emotion have to do with the truthfulness of God's existence?

[CleanShavenJesus]

Many times, in fact I very recently tried to re-convince myself that I could believe in one. But it just does not make any sense.

I'm more comfortable with living in a harsh reality (though it's not that harsh) than a delusional fantasy.

Living for long enough kills everyone eventually but I don't see what God would have to do with that if he exists. Not that you would die you would just be transported into a realm of eternal hellfire or the eternal realm of hymn singing on a cloud. Depending on what you claimed to believe while you were alive of course.
