When I catch myself thinking about how God could exist I realize it's only because I was originally thinking about my own mortality.

Even if there isn't a Creator God that originated the universe, in the billions of years since the universe's beginning, odds are pretty good that one or more species has ascended to a level of technology that we would be unable to distinguish from "godlike" at our current level of development. Such beings could be watching over us right now.

God would have more rep if he actually showed up every 60 years but instead he's a deadbeat dad who flooded the earth

Then when he sent the Jews their prophet they loving murdered him so he said gently caress this and peaced out

Until Islam

If there are higher dimensional beings they really suck at being God because if I was a higher dimensional being I'd be unlocking lockers and poo poo for people and performing miracle abortions and flooding Africa with water instead of AIDS

When I was seven years old I thought I had to decide between believing in heaven and God (because that's what is above the clouds) or believing in space being badass (which was also above the clouds) and I loving chose the badass one

To videogame characters, we're the higher dimensional beings, and see how we treat them.

I had just checked out the book in the library that talked about the sun dying and earth getting owned

I vividly remember the artists rendering of the oceans boiling off into huge clouds of steam.

The people of Sodom and Gomorrah got what was coming to them. As did the idolators and people who talked back to Franklin when he bumped into them on the sidewalk. None were innocent.

In comparison, we all have the same amount of autonomy as video game characters do.

Maybe we're all assigned our own personal higher dimensional being and that's why some people get hosed or abandoned

If you've ever seen one of the town hall scenes from that show Finding Bigfoot, my reaction when I watch that is the same reaction I have when I see people sitting in church. Just a kind of an lol those people really have themselves convinced. In fact that whole show is a good parallel. Let's go out into the world and claim that basically everything we find is some kind of proof. Coyote? No... big foot! I might go back to church if Bobo ran things though. We could try to find god by putting donuts on the pews at night to attract him.
