Animal torture

[henryp]

You're saying you don't see how anyone can like Unicorns because their farts smell bad.  And I'm saying some people say unicorns fart rainbows, so not liking unicorns because of what a few people say their farts are like is silly.

You aren't an atheist. You say that even if popular religions preach fear to grow flock, they are wrong and God isn't such a shitty Maniac.

God isn't a shitty maniac.  God is nothing, because of the not existing part.  It's pretend.  I'm just saying the pretend God you are talking about is not representative of all the pretend Gods, and your perspective on the pretend Gods is clearly not shared by many who believe in the pretend Gods.

Think of it this way.  How many animals seem thrilled to be a part of 'getting hell till death'?  Contrast with some theists.  A lot of those people are happy as fuck.  Way happier than any of us clowns.  So there must bes a disconnect between how you're portraying the relationship between God and people, and how they are experiencing their relationship with God.

Clearly, there is another way to frame the relationship.

"Religious Views: Atheist" - bs. Your a theist putting on an atheist mask online...

You got me.  Praise be Jesus!  Join me this Sunday at The Second United Church of Holy Saint Paul of the Corinthians.  Free pancakes after the mass!

People basically torture caged cattle and lab rats to make a profit. They are weaker and seem to be dumb as stones, so why not?

The potential existence of "Godly" being put's us in to same unimaginably miserable position. I think that's why I refuse the idea of God, because the root of it lies in demanding submission trough fear and for me it's not as much about the logical impossibility, which seems just an attempt to cure the paranoia about Maniacal God that many believers shit all over the place, not able to "eat" that shit themselves anymore.

Not sure what you mean here. Of course god belief is superfluous, but there still is a huge difference between hunting, farming animals for food, and flat out torture.

Humans evolved to be omnivores so I don't think you are going to rid our species of eating other animals.

Personally, I try to remind myself that god-bothering satisfies all of the shittiest parts of us..and that this, amusingly, is known to make us happy, lol. The livestock analogy is a poor one, though, as I tell porpoise here every month, around the same time, when he posts it again (and again...and again).

We actually take care of our livestock, and we're co-dependent upon each other, lol. God would be more a game warden than a rancher. We're the kings deer. Mostly oblivious and unaware of that greater reality outside our own experience..left to our own devices, little or no contact with the warden or any other divine representative until the moment of our death.

That's bullshit, the cats are getting all the sweet neural upgrades first?  The do know that we'll all end up as slaves to our feline overlords if this continues...don't they?
