It supposes to give you perspective. You, it says, are a piece of dirt and know nothing, what would you know? Classic humiliation tactics to subject people. If god did indeed view us as clay, why would he love us? Clay is just a potter's material. Either god views us as dirt to be used as he sees fit, or if you like this whole he-loves-us-and-wants-a-personal-relationship rubbish, you cannot accept that you have no right to question and doubt and fucking improve on 'god's plan'. The whole thing is too stupid, just far too stupid.
this is an extremely good point that I had never thought of before.
Very kind of you to say so, thank you.

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
Einstein
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
