Yeah - that always bugged me as well. God can >poof< the Universe into existence, create adult human beings out of mud, or a piece of bone, but Jesus had to spend 9 months in a womb. Damn - he must have been bored sh*tless.  Tongue

I've heard crap like, "Jesus had to be fully human". Well, God magicked up fully human humans before, right? I forget their names. If he can't do it now, that's another arbitrary restriction to try and account for the ludicrous nature of the problem at hand.

After watching the video, my questions are:

Why on FSM's spaghetti covered body is my turtley brain not wired for faith when I'm patently a theist desperate to believe in religious horseshit? I prayed to "God" but he just won't let me believe in his shitty nonsense... PLEASE HELP

Is it possible that God DIDN'T give me a brain that is pre-wired for receptivity to "His" existence to make it more difficult for my turtley self to believe in his relgious horseshit?

P.S. I'm not a theist. But other than that this is the gosh darn it truth. Hmmm. Hang on I'm not against swearing: Other than that this is the ABSOLUTE FUCK-BASTARDING TRUTH.
I believe in a creative force for all existence, yet have trouble with many man made doctrine.

Faith in selfless Unity for Good.

Bullshit. Only a really stupid and ignorant person can make such uninformed statements. Have you seen "everything"? Do you know "everything"? No? Then how can you make judgements about "everything", you dumbass?

Also - if "everything came from something" - then where did your god come from, huh? You did say "everything", didn't you? So - by definition - that includes god, because "everything" includes everything. So tell me - who, or what shat your dumb god out? And shouldn't you be praying to THAT? Unless of course THAT also came from something, and that something - from yet something else, and so on, and so on - because "everything came from something".

Ugh, dumb people... SMH...
