Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
Yes but only the one true god, FSM.
"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming"  -The Prophet Boiardi-

As social/political/psychological metaphor, "God" is unnecessary and conveys the wrong idea. I would accept that God can be such a metaphor, but I don't know that such a metaphor is a great idea.

And then, if God made us in his image, why did he just happen to make us apes? Did he make us in his image or did we make him in ours? Do other species do this too, or is that just good ol' human narcissism?

Once you understand how the system works then you can understand about the apes the humans and everything else.
God didn't create apes or humans in the first place.
He create space, air, light-energy, water and matter.

From these forms of energy more evolved life came into existence that is vegetable life, animal life and human life.
Like a boomerang well throw all this energy come back to him.
It is all about mighty consciousness that is transformed into small consciousness that again get transformed into mighty consciousness.
God lila game so to speak.  Rolleyes

Because god spent all eternity before he said "let there be light" hanging one armed from the divine tree, howling and throwing his feces at the minions he hasn't created yet?

I don't right now. However, if there were evidence provided that he does exist then I would reconsider. However, as an agnostic I feel personally I cannot deny or confirm that a God actually exists. I mean, the evidence for his existence is lacking.

I wonder if it's even possible to conceive of a god concept that actually does everything a believer would want it to do and not be totally contradictory by every indication in reality (ignoring that there's no evidence).
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Life is a game.
If someone would tell you where is the nugget of gold then there wouldn't be the game in the first place.
The consciousness would never expand and the small would stay small but the game goes on and on so the consciousness expand and one day the small become big.  Lightbulb

Yeah except while you're looking for the gold nugget you're also being violently sodomized and branded. Don't front, the whole idea of heaven is this place where you get all that bullshit reward and this life is utterly meaningless by comparison. This is literally nothing but a cruel punishment if it's the product of the design of this monster and spending eternity in their presence would literally be debatably as bad as eternal hellfire. Let's not forget most holy texts want us to stop thinking and asking questions, so that shows expansion of consciousness going right out the fucking window. Gods like their lofty position and lording it over the little people because they can't show us that they're actually in fact better than us by being humble and empathetic. More powerful, sure, but better? Fuck no. They're no different than the aliens from Independence Day, simply in possession of superior means but not interested in any way in being humanitarian.
