Why does Jod look like Guilfoyle from Silicon Valley?
The funny part is that if there were a god (there isn't), he would absolutely be an asshole.
This assumes that if there was a god they are perfect and chose to make us with teeth that fail, bodies that get cancer, anger issues and mental health problems, etc
While that could be the case it could also be the case that if there was a god said god could just be a much higher level lifeform that could create galaxies and life and shit, but still was maybe not all that good at it. Like look at humanity. We can do crazy shit, we can make computers that do incomprehensible things to humans that existed as little as 50 years ago. But those computers still fucking suck and crash all the time, blue screen, lose data, etc.
Maybe there was a god that made humanity but he just wasn’t very good at it and as a result we now have cancer and war. and maybe they’re up there like “oh they’re deifying me, that’s super awkward bc it’s totally my fault their first child died of leukemia at 7 years old”. Or maybe they did all that and now they’re dead too because they’re not actually a god but just a higher lifeform and were deifying a loser that would’ve gotten a c on their biology homework
but there’s probably not one
An interesting argument. I don't think I've heard anyone seriously put this forward, only George Carlin (who was perhaps serious but not presenting it seriously).
I'm not trying to be funny, but would you also characterize "nature" as being an asshole?
if it was a sentient being making the choices - yes.
Gotcha. I guess I don't really see "God" as a sentient being exclusively, so applying characteristics to him has always been a challenge.
No, see. Tooth decay, like carnivorousness, only began after Adam and Eve got expelled from Eden. Prior to that, everything existed in harmony sustained on thoughts and prayers.
I mean, kinda? Tooth decay got way worse when we started relying on sugar-rich grain for most of our calories after we developed agriculture.
Ah yes pre Cambrian life
The Vatican’s secret library contains a lost scripture that proves that Adam was an anomalocaris
Rib girl doesn't have teeth. She's just rib.
Its a shame that the idiom 'just ribbing you' to indicate joking around probably doesn't work in proto-hebrew.
Holy shit ths is hilarious
I'm with Johnny 2x4, I'll stick with plank.
No, see. Tooth decay, carnivorousness, and everything else were seen as neither good nor bad until Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and gained consciousness. Prior to that, everything was still absolute chaos, but without a knowledge of good and evil there was no way to make value judgements.
Things are the same as they've always been. The only thing that has changed is your perception.

why the fuck do you and another commenter have the same exact fucking start. Is the matrix breaking what the fuck is this shit
I'm using the same structure as the original comment to make it easier to compare/contrast.
The fact that it's causing you mental unrest means you need to report to the main office for a Voight-Kampff test. The tortoise lays on its back, it's belly baking in the hot sun trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
damn, shit you right. My bad.
as for why i'm not helping, the tortoise isn't real, it doesn't exist.
I have had this thought with less tism multiple times tbh
