The Space Worm Conundrum

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Can we have schisms yet?

Can we have schisms yet?

No, because we orthodox members of the Slugoverse religion kill heretics.

People been trying to kill me since I was seven. 

The First Reformed Slugness Church meets here on even numbered Tuesdays. Bring a dish.

If we came from slug shit there is a strong case for lung worm.

Then those people didn't belong to the Sluggyquisition!

We're expected, but don't show up until later.

god??? Not until you tell me where the space slug came from. 

If you even try to tell me the slug exists independently outside of time and space then........... well......... Ima bite you!

Right now, the only qualities we know this space slug has are that it's a space slug and that it created our universe by pooping it out. Where would it have to come from for you to call it god?

The chief mode of transportation in Slugworld is parasitizing a visitor and hoping they make it to the destination before they die.

This one is primarily for the theists, but I see no reason not to open the question to atheists as well.

If you have a hard time with hypotheticals, you're gonna wanna sit this one out. If I present a hypothetical situation for your consideration, and your response is "But I know that isn't true," then you have utterly missed the point of the exercise.


Let's say we learned that the universe as we know it was in fact created, but the act of creation happened to be a little space slug taking a huge shit (or perhaps an infinitesimally small shit)?

When I say little space slug, I mean exactly that. Let's say the being that created the universe is a gooey little critter with feelers or something, and the Big Bang directly resulted from a shit that it took.

Would you consider that space slug to be god? Why or why not? If not, what qualities would that space slug have to have in order to qualify as god? Would you worship it?

If you never believed in the space slug, and then when you died it tortured you forever for not believing in it, would you feel the space slug was justified in doing so? Under what circumstances would the space slug be justified in torturing you forever?

 This is a rarity for me because I do not usually respond to things that could never be. I'm going to because it's such a unthoughtworthy (turns out that's not a word but I believe hypothetically you understand) comment.
 
First of all you gave no indication where the thoughtless slug came from. Second the little poop the slug took was a biological process and one that is impossible because the slug had nothing to eat because there was not universe a for it to feed in. Third those two things defeat all the other presumptions you made.

Sluggo has always existed and existed outside the universe.

The "poop" popped into existence without any requirement for an outside source.

That sounds strangely familiar.....
