this is a factual statement.

If there is a god let them manifest themselves in such a way as being known.

God is real an my life professor. If i gently caress up too hard i'll burn, if i do great i'll do some fun poo poo or whatev, if i go in between i'll roll a boulder uphill for a million years like that Chevy Chase scene in Funny Farm

God is Hammond in the movie version of Jurrasic Park "I dont blame people for their mistakes. But I do ask that they pay for them."

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
There's no such thing as God. Nothing in the world or universe makes sense as the product of a all powerful, benevolent designer. The fact that life exists is pretty weird though. I mean, look at how complex something like a deer is. And that deer came about through blind, mindless laws of physics? That's crazy. Although an all powerful, benevolent designer making something as hosed-up and as a deer makes no sense either.

I think if there's really something that exists that's all powerful and omnipotent, then it's completely beyond the scope of our ability to try to understand it, let alone what it wants. We should do things to make the world we share a better place, and do good unto our fellow man. There's so much that we don't know about the laws that govern our own universe, how can we possibly claim to know what something that exists outside of those laws is like?

I nearly died and had a meaningful religious experience while at the hospital. I can't say if it was just the kindness of the chaplain staying with me, when the Army dropped the ball so hard they didn't notify my parents for 18 hours, or if it was something more but since then I've been much more religious in public and private practice.

e: It was a Jewish chaplain and I've kept Kosher since, although I was raised Catholic. I might compromise and become Orthodox or a Messianic Jew eventually. That same chaplain has kept in touch with me in 3 years of recovery when doctors and case managers get new postings.

odin's too obvious, ra's been co-opted by wiccans and they suck, i'm too removed from my roots to go with like kanaloa or something, bishamonten is too weeb... i was thinking maybe kitsune, god of "ask me for anything and like if you get it... coo'". what do you think

I still talk to god sometimes. I ask him if what I'm doing is right or wrong. I am still waiting for an answer. Until I get one, I will be out here. Waiting. Watching. The guilty will be punished.

In my mind god is probably either really apathetic and just doing sweet rear end donuts somewhere in space or its like totally into whatever the gently caress is going on despite it being either horrible or good.
