The end result every single time was that the house would burn down and people would make excuses or try to rationalize why the invisible, intangible fire department didn't show up.
I knew why it didn't show up.
It wasn't fucking real.
It didn't exist.
There is no compelling evidence for any god.
It's just us on this planet. We have to take responsibility for everything. If something is going to happen, we are the ones that have to do it. There is no magical sky daddy.
The only reason the invisible, intangible fire department didn’t show up was lack of faith on the part of the penitents.
Invisible, intangible fire departments are a sacred and holy mystery, and are not to be questioned by the likes of YOU, pally.
