God, Christianity, Control, & Fear

[Caecilian]

God created us with flaws on purpose and, in fact, always knew he would, so he forgives us those flaws, as he always knew he would. He then verified those flaws by allowing his enemy to tempt us to sin, as he always knew he would. We sinned, as he always knew we would. Thousands of years later, he came to earth as his own son, as he always knew he would, in order to be put to death for blasphemy, so that he would be able to forgive us that original sin, as he always knew he would. It is all a part of his mysterious plan, which he doesn't need, because he has always known what will happen. It's beyond pointless. It's retarded. This god guy doesn't sound very bright.

(EDIT: I forgot to mention that at one point, he got so angry with his creations, as he always knew he would, that he killed almost all of them in a big flood, as he knew he always would. Maybe he's just bored. I would be.)

You seem to be subscribing to the Woody Allen model of god:

If it turns out that there IS a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the worst you can say about Him is that basically He's an underachiever.

From Love and Death. A very funny film.
