DOOM postdiction...it's going to happen yesterday! | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 70473602 United States 10/03/2015 06:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Was thinking about it today...it's hard to imagine that billions of people allow only a handful of assholes to run roughshod over their lives. Here in America it's one tiny little group of people dictating how everyone must live their lives, conduct business, what they eat, how they medicate, who they congregate with, what information they're allowed to have, whether or not they can defend themselves, where they can travel and how much of their own labor they get to keep. That's insane. If my neighbor came over and told me he'd arbitrarily decided I'd be paying his family 50% of my paycheck to stay in my own home, and I'd be needing his approval for every major decision I made - I'd smack him in the mouth and laugh in his face. Somebody does it from a thousand miles away and we all say "who do I make the check out to?" That's crazy. Isn't that what our founders braved months at sea in rickety boats, faced uncertainty, starvation, scurvy, freezing cold, violent Indians, treason, war, poverty, shame and death (among other things) to escape? Holy shit, how did we get all the way down here!? |

Somebody made you dude and it wasn't just your parents. We didn't spontaneously appear here. You didn't magically become self aware. The incredible hubris and arrogance of everyone dismissing a creator is insane. I'm not saying one religion is right or one is wrong - but - in what dimension would it be sane to think that somebody who shits, jerks off and has an average IQ of 80 could understand anything, much less a deity? 2 generations ago we were wiping with leaves, riding horses and fighting each other over slaves. Now we think we understand the universe? We aren't just stupid anymore, we're ungrateful, self destructive narcissists. Just because God didn't bring you a pony Christmas of 76 doesn't mean he ain't there. Or who knows, maybe he isn't? Either way, I'm not about to make a judgement call on a supreme being when I have no idea how I got here and no clue what happens after the lights go out. But seriously, people drive around in cars all day but have no idea how they work, use phones that might as well be magic and spend their formative years PC'ing reality away - we're ALL clueless in one way or another. Where in hell does anyone get off claiming to know definitively there's no God. Asshole. |
