I write Him a letter once a year explaining how good I am and list all the new stuff I want. I make sure to mention all His reindeer by name.
I've never gotten a reply because I'm probably not very good at all. So I buy stuff with my own money, but it's the cheap knock off version of what I originally wanted.

So yes, I am Christian

You know, I think maybe that's the problem, and where so much of my despair comes from, is that I've been hanging out, like, exclusively with people who are lost, and not just lost in their faith but that's a strong indicator.

I think I'm going to head back to church more often.

there is no god.

if there was, it would not be anthropomorphic.

it wouldn't have sentience or sapience.

it doesnt care about you or anything happening on this planet. you dont matter to it. you dont register.

the galactic cluster we're spinning around in doesn't even register.

there is no caring ape in the clouds guiding everything. just the stillness of a cold void with the possibility that beyond it all, a nuclear chaos pulls the strings.

revel in it.

Hell most Christians still don't seem to get that God destroys the world. Hell if you re-read the story of Revelations, what is even the crime? The "evil" side comes to Earth and brings us peace on Earth, peace in the middle east even, prosperity on a global scale and more.. God promptly wipes them out for with ludicrously over the top plagues and destroys the whole planet.

Yet I can't really tell what "evil" he's supposed to be cleansing. If anything it sounds like his rival did a better job running the planet and he flipped the game board like a pissed off 7 year old.

ED: Actually the most horrifying/interesting part of Revelation to me is when all of Earth's armies unite to try to fight God and fail; while the implication is the anti-Christ is trying to fight him, there's something kind of Chtulu-esque about that.


Glory to Herbert West!

Revelation is an odd book. You can read it as a strict prophecy of the end times like Evangelicals. But you can also think of it as a sort of general understanding the world. Evil is big, and it wins a lot. Like a lot a lot.

And it seems like the world will pretty much always suck. But it won't because nothing, not even evil lasts forever. Evil will triumph and good will suffer and everything will go to hell and get all hosed up. But at the end of everything, once everything is said and done, all the good people that got the poo poo kicked out of them? They're finally going to get what they deserve.

And the real nasty people who took advantage of them the whole time? They're going to get what they deserve too.

The book, if you read in the style of contemporary prophetic literature (and not as a playbook because why the gently caress would Satan follow the playbook???) is a promise that it really will turn out alright In The End.
