here's something - suppose that the primordial singularity is god in his/her/its entirety and god is thinking "let's experience a universe" and 'let there be light' is how god starts experiencing the universe. so we, as stardust are god. so are all the planets and stars and galaxys (ford and otherwise) and other poo poo. poo poo is god. single helium atoms drifting in the vast intergalactic voids are god.

then after a while, however many billion or trillion years, there's a big crunch and god is whole again and probably says, "well, that was something awful. I don't think I want to do that ever again."

I thought about this and came up with many things that I have done that god has not done, basically making me better than god, these things include:

writing a story
posting hilarious posts in gbs
drawing a picture
saving a life
solving a math equation

the lists goes on an on, basically god does nothing

Here's something, from god's perspective, time doesn't exist.

It cannot even decide to "not ever do that again". It's forced to forever know that there's a universe where goatse is a thing, and it's because of itself.


e: Hopefully god is only conscious through life and the memories of goatse dies in god along with us.

God is the dreamer/scientist and this is her dream/experiment. Of course a naive person would think makes everything not real, but that begs the question: what is real? It's subjective maybe, but the universe obeys consistent rules, don't worry about that part, it's real in regards to you.

In any case, god could interfere if he/she/it so chose to, but that will not happen. It would void the experiment or ruin the dream or whatever. And why give an afterlife? If you were running a simulation on your computer, would you give any of the sprites an afterlife once they die? If you play The Sims, if a Sim dies do you create a perfect world for them to live in for all eternity? No! That's loving stupid. Who cares, we're all just fragments of program anyway, it's utterly trivial to create new possibly better ones.

Ok, imagine if Inception and The Matrix had a baby, while Boltzmann and Descartes jacked off in a corner somewhere, and Michael Kirkbride (the guy who wrote all the freaky poo poo for Skyrim) was the midwife.


tl;dr - god might exist, but all the prophets are wrong anyway. Abraham was senile with co-morbid schizophrenia. Moses was dehydrated and bipolar. Jesus was just plain high. Buddha died because he was too polite to refuse pork that smelt really funky. And Mohammed reincarnated into a guy known as Aatrek.


Edit:
vvv
The pope says masturbating is bad, and I believe the catholic church is the whore of Babylon, so therefore jerking off is good. Also Jesus was brown so anything white Jesus says is wrong by default.

God interferes all the time, everywhere, through us. We just like to imagine god as some kind of moral beacon in an ocean of chaos but let's face it; it created us in its image and we like to gently caress and get high and be jealous of our neighbor.

When you are the frigging Absolute, the suffering of a few meatbags on a rock is not a problem, it's a biological necessity to ensure the survival and evolution of life.



The universe works pretty much as intended and no adjustments are needed but those we desire ourselves.


It's unfair to ask god for peace on earth and the end of suffering when it's up to ourselves to achieve it.

I got real high on edibles one day and came to this realization:

That we should not hate god but pity them. because, i imagine god almost as a homemaker, imagine Miss Cleaver. But instead of getting a break to talk to the boys and Ward she constantly has to cook,clean,fix,create,adjust everything! including time and space so, it leaves god/miss cleaver no time to enjoy the fruits of their hard labor because the moment they do, everything goes to wrong. not even enough time to take a poo poo without a pipe busting or time folding in on itself. all the time there are 10 billion ungrateful babies. crying and whining where god is when they are when they stub their toe. and when she doesnt come down and wipe their rear end for them they deny their existence.

Yeah, I know that part of interfering. I mean like making massive poo poo happen, like some future genius getting miraculously cured of cancer so she can go on to cure all cancer when she grows up. It could happen just by chance sure, a chance improved by having modern medical care or other mortal methods, but fudging the numbers so that it's certain to happen is cheating.

Stopping an asteroid from hitting Earth is also cheating, but if you've run the simulation a thousand times before and are sick and tired of drat rocks wiping out your ape-people right when they discover the best ways to torture each other, then you're going to turn on cheat mode and just erase that thing. There's gotta be only so many times you can wait in frustration for single-celled lifeforms to become multi-cellular, because it takes forever and it must be immensely frustrating to wait for it a second time. Stars are born, live, die, and become black holes in the time it takes to do that. Or maybe god could save-scum? That's what I'd do. Quicksave after fish walk onto land.

...You know, after so many times through, so many failed simulations or whatever, I'd just decide to mess with people. Like do a couple of genuine miracles, just to keep them guessing, but also maybe sink a ship or start a fire or something. Just to see what happens. Cheat the IS a couple of BUK's to take potshots at super hornets, cheat ebola an extra protein fold to make it more resistant to UV, poo poo like that.

Actually I do kind of pity God because it's obvious by now that he's a bitter old man who has been driven to dementia since he can't deal with how his creations have free will due to being an abusive control freak and now he's trying to make life on Earth as hellish as possible in hope that it will finally scare humans into being perfect little RTS units. Killing God now would be an act of mercy
