This gif is just...fantastic. I laugh out loud every time.

I worship God because of that power of judgment to cleanse me of error I'd otherwise have no way of knowing or correcting.  I try to I make myself fluent to consciousness.  I do not hide from errors I find in myself, I do not resist my own feeling of "wrongness", I do not make excuses.  I am grateful for the correction.  It is a constant self pruning and retraining for good fruit.

I have experienced the fire of God that consumes inconsistency.  I decided to save us both the further "trouble" and do it myself.

So basically... Kim Il Sung with much better publicity?  In fact the Christian God sounds a lot like Kim Il Sung when you think about it.  I bet the two would get along great if the Christian God existed.

I see nothing worthy of worship here.  Sounds a lot like an abusive parent who beats his kids for 'their own good' and because the kids need to be 'corrected'.  Yeah, sounds like a real asshole.  Still not seeing why anyone would think this guy is worthy of worship.  Sounds like people worship him because they fear him.  You're basically the battered spouse standing up for your abusive husband who hits the kids because he loves you, and without him you're nothing.

And like I said--fear is a bad reason to worship.  Otherwise might makes right, and I can point a gun at your head, and make you do whatever I want.  After all, it's for your own good, and I know what's best because I'm the one with the gun.

If you don't have a healthy fear/respect of natural forces, like gravity, fire and lightening, you will hurt yourself through ignorance. So it is with God.

You and all the fundies keep anthropomophizing God into a personality which is always a super-ego projection. Stahp.

So basically you're just going off script here?  Because we're talking about the God of the bible here.  Not whatever it is you believe in and/or worship (which still would not be worthy of worship--because fear does not make a good reason for worship at all)

And you take the account of God in the bible to be the beginning and end of Man's experience with the eternal God?

That's the biggest cherry picked strawman around.


The original, older and far longer lasting idea's of God were of infinite formless substance and raw force.

Worship is a practice, an action. The in the action of lighting my way with a torch in the darkness, I "worship" the flame (I keep it tended with fuel/material and away from water). I also fear the flame, keeping it away from my body and flammable material. Respectful action based on the knowledge of it's nature.

Fine. I'll leave your god alone, it leaves me alone.

Which, unsurprisingly, it does.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Does the Mother or Father directly interact with the developing embryo? Might that screw up the natural growth process?

Does a farmer constantly tug on new sprouts or fruits to make them grow faster?

Do you know the story of the boy who helped the butterfly out of it's chrysalis?

So you bemoan the lack of God's constant/obvious presence and see no reason or benefit in being left to learn on your own for a while?

You aren't a parent, are you....
