True. They’d all have hot pokers up their assholes.Speaker to Animals wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:Protestants are all liberals?Speaker to Animals wrote:Every liberal thinks he is his own God. That's the core of what it means to be liberal, really. It's a rejection of rightful authority, including God himself, and a replacement with personal authority, which ironically always leads to tyranny.
E.g. Show me the "Christian" who dissents from Christian theology and dogma in some way, and I will show you a liberal.
More like a stepping stone to it. Without the Protestant revolt, there would be no liberals as we know of them.

Sounds more like an article you should skip because it’s not worth reading.GrumpyCatFace wrote:So the equivalency is being made with a parent that left his kids a confusing note, and then abandoned them for 2,000 years. And they shouldn’t complain if they suffer.
Sounds like a God I should worship.

"How do you know you're God"
"When I pray to him, I find I'm talking to myself"
I can't make the embed start at 1:34 for the best part.
Why Does God Let Really Bad Stuff Happen? Read the Old Testament. God is really an asshole who loves fucking with people. Every Passover we're supposed to ponder the fact that when Pharaoh was going to let the Jews go, "God hardened Pharaoh's heart", just so God could really get down to the nastiest plagues. I mean, the show must go on, right? Picture an 8 year old boy playing at an epic battle with army men, and you've got the right idea. It's all about the drama.

We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

This is the part where he says God is supposed to do what he thinks he should do, because he is god too.

Because
a) God doesn't exist
b) God doesn't care.
My money's on the former.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

My money is on none of us having the answer, and the dumbest of us acting like we have the obvious answer.
