Well then go move to North Korea, they cant question their authority either. I am sure Kim Jong Un treats his close circle of insiders quite well, but the average joe and any dissentors get treated like crap. So you like being a brown nosing ass kisser? So you wouldn't mind being a maid in Kim Jong Un's palace because he doesn't beat his maids?
Here is the reality you don't want to face. There is no god to reward or punish you. You simply like the idea of having a magical super hero.

But, see, the problem is that Pascel's Wager fails on so many levels. Which god is real (assuming that one is)? Even if you follow one, if you are wrong the real one may punish you, whereas it might send you to a more neutral place for not taking a side. OR, god could punish believers for being so blind, or he could care less about belief and only look at deeds. The whole bible could be a divine hoax to see who would turn from the true god, a test of faith (after all, Judaism wasn't the first religion).

The definition of the metaphysical is that which lies beyond the senses, that which cannot be known or even comprehended by mankind. Would you agree?

Good thing we have a God willing to help us prepair ourselves for what we can not comperhend, huh?
How come god doesn't help you with spelling, then?

I'm thankfully on a Mac which has system wide spell check.
Here's what I originally wrote above without spellcheck alterations: "im thunkfelly in a MAC wihc haz sistem wyd speel schek."

Your douche-nozzle of a god has never lifted a fucking finger to help anyone. The one thing your god has proven is that he has always loved himself far greater than he will ever love you. Your phoney-bologna god isn't going to help you prepare for jack shit, and as for comprehension, well, that boat sailed for you a long long time ago. |
