Was God Watching When Catholic Priests Were Molesting Children? Was God Participating? Maybe getting His Jollies? Like, Divine Cyberporn??? What about Jonestown and 900 people Were Murdered by Jim Jones?

was that all part of the divine plan? How about when the Cathedral of Notre Dame burned to the ground... Should we praise the Lord for that fire? The Heaven's Gate UFO Suicide Cult?, Waco Texas? Is God Totally Fake?

Where was God when crazy people with guns are shooting children at schools? Again and again and again... Where was God during the Camp Mystic Flood when those little girls drowned? It happened in the Texas Hill Country and all they needed was a SIGN and they could have walked up the Hill! To Safety... Was God in Venezuela during the earthquake? I've been in an earthquake and I did pray that God would stop it... In my case it did end... But not Venezuela... 

Where was God when the atomic bomb was blowing up Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Chernobyl? F*ck You Shima? How about the million people that died from covid-19 in the USA??? I guess their prayers were not answered... Or maybe the answer was "NO! You Gonna Die, Mo Fo!"

and then on Faceborg a guy said:

Thoughts had at 3AM:
Maybe I brought all this on myself. With negative thinking. Maybe I summoned the universe I have stepped into.
Now this is not to say I caused the predicament we’re in, I’m just saying of the endless permutations of the universe that exist simultaneously, maybe I chose to step into the one I feared the most. And here we are.
A few Plank units to the left lies a universe just like this one except people are having fun—laughing and dancing in the street and eating corn on the cob corn. (Only they eat it vertically instead of horizontally, as Father Guido Sarducci once said on SNL.) But no, I had to step through Door Number Hell.
Or wait. This is not Door Number Hell. I mean, what do I have to complain about, really? All I need do is glance at the guy across the street, or the woman next door—people with problems that make mine look like a mere bag 'o shells—and that little voice in the back of my head kicks in and says, in the voice of Don Rickles: "STFU!"
But having said that, yeah, things are pretty messed up.
Isaac Asimov talks about the paradox where you go back in time and shoot your father before you were born, so you could never have existed in the first place to shoot him. With all due respect, Mr. Asimov (from whom I once received a post card, typed in his typewriter!) (sorry, I can’t mention Isaac Asimov without throwing that tidbit it), current theories of time —some from a physicist named (I kid you not) Craig Callender, as well as stuff I wrote in a now-yellowed notebook back in the day (yes, “back in the day” is code for, you know)...
Jesus in a rowboat, that sentence was way too convoluted. Lemme take another shot at it:
With all due respect, Mr. Asimov, current theories of time render that paradox moot. They still don’t know what time is—heck, thanks to the James Webb telescope and the Cern collider and all that, they don’t know what anything is anymore, they only know that they were wrong about pretty much everything. Including that Big Bang hooey (which I never bought). But they do know this: time is not one linear line, any more than space is Newton’s concept of an ether.
Infinite possible futures lie before us at every now. We choose our path. Please allow me to demonstrate. Do this: Shift the position you are sitting in. (I’m going to assume you’re sitting.) Go ahead, just shift a bit, into a slightly different position. It might do you good anyway, you might have been sitting way too long.
OK, did you shift? Not yet? Well…shift. Move a leg or something. I can’t go on with this experiment until you shift positions. Have you shifted yet?
Just shift, dammit!
OK, the universe that you now inhabit is infinitesimally different than the one you would be occupying if you had remained in your prior position. And both those universes coexist.
Now I didn’t get this out of some underground comic or via some psyliciobin-induced epiphany. Well, I did, but it’s also what cutting edge quantum physics is currently theorizing.
Want to try something really freaky? Hold your hand up, spread your fingers and reach slightly forward, as if touching a mirror. Leave it there a moment. OK now stand up. (But wait, if you choose not to stand up, don’t take you’re hand down, just sit there and leave it up.) OK, now turn facing where you were just sitting and put your hand, from the other direction, right where your hand just was. You are now touching the hand of the you who chose not to stand, the you who is sitting, holding her or his hand up. Fingertips to fingertips. And if you chose not to stand but are still sitting and holding your hand up, you are touching the hand of the you who did stand up. Both those yous are right there, they actually exist. in fact, if you lean in a bit more and put your face where your face just was before you stood up, y’all can almost kiss.
So what about that universe I almost stepped into but didn’t—that universe where people are laughing, and dancing in the street, and eating corn on the cob? Well, that universe is almost as close. I can smell it. I can hear the people laughing. But no, I stepped into this thing. I guess we all did.
In my next installment, I’ll talk about my plan to use the concepts of co-existing universes to win the lottery

and then another post...

Every single thing he has touched—every cacamamie plan he has launched, every ill-thought-out scheme that has gurgled up from what’s left of his mind—has been a disaster. All this regime has done, time and again, is shoot themselves in the foot. So this scheme to usurp the midterms—maybe it'll backfire as well. Maybe, in the end, what will come along to save us will not be the Epstein files, or waving placards, or blacking out Facebook for a day (yeah, that one really brought 'em to their knees), or Jesus, or 3IATLAS, or singing Kumbaya, but rather, like everything else [...drumroll...] their own bumbling ineptitude.
Yeah, I've given up on 3I/ATLAS or Jesus, I'm banking everything on that he is one colossal f**k-up. And I'd say that's a fairly safe bet.

Life After Death: 3 Possible Paths - Heaven/Hell, Reincarnation or Nothing Happens at All.

I figure that I'm in a good situation no matter what happens when I die... Because... according to the Christian Church, if you accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior... You go to Heaven... And I did that in 1976... And I really meant it... But I've gone to Church maybe three times in the last 50 years... So I'm what's technically called a "Backsliding" Christian... And that's good enough!

I don't know too much about reincarnation... But I don't recall any action required on my part... I think it just happens and I'll end up being reincarnated as a dog or something... With no memory of My Life as a human... I have heard that if you behave morally during your life you get reincarnated as a higher form of life Next Time Around. And if you do Evil you get reincarnated as a lower form of life. 

I have a feeling that that's a convenient excuse for the rich people in India to explain the reason why their lives are wonderful while the vast majority of the people are starving... "You did evil in a previous life." That's something that no one can ever check to see if it's true... But the people who are suffering can simply stop complaining and "Shut the F*ck Up! You did it to yourself!"

And if you get everything right, you don't get reincarnated at all... you become one with God. And that's only happened once as far as We Know. The Buddha. 

And of course, if nothing at all happens... I won't even know!

I found God on on FarmVille

<~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~> 

If anyone chooses to purchase life insurance on me it certainly won't be me... I'll be dead and I won't care... But maybe members of my family should buy Life Insurance as a bet... I'm guaranteed to die so the only question is will the monthly payments be greater than the total payout? 

<~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~>

My brother and I filled out an official form explaining how much medical attention I wanted... And what to do with my body after I'm dead... It was notarized... And a copy given to my doctor and my brother... Of course, the real question is what do we do if he dies first... And in that case his daughter takes over the trust fund that pays all my bills... And is in charge of who gets what from my inheritance... But the one thing that is for certain... I don't have to do anything and I don't need to worry about anything because we figured it all out years ago...

I want a reasonable amount of doctor care to prevent my death but not excessive... My family will determine what a reasonable amount is... I want my body cremated and buried under a tree so that my body can feed the tree...

The one thing I'm certain about is: I don't want to spend years in pain... If my body becomes painful I want to be medicated with Morphine or Fentanyl or Oxycontin... Some powerful drug... Maybe start every morning with a cannabis cookie...

A part of my future... is the fact that I built an online business that does not require me to be alive to function... As long as the overall Corporation Called Zazzle is in business they will be mailing my family royalty checks...

After meeting BJ Vance, the Pope Lost his Will to Live... His last words were: "Okay, the Slaves of Satan seem to have won this this round... But I have faith that Jesus will be triumphant in the end...."

I See a Lot of Mockery of Belief in GOD on FaceBorg. Yes, The #RUNAWAY Movement is Gathering Momentum but... I Think That The AI Algorithm Has Determined that I Am an Atheist and Serves me MORE of What I Like. They have found that by serving content that I already agree with I will stay on Faceborg a longer time... And time equals advertising dollars...... 

In My Humble Opinion Religion Really SUXX - I Collected a LOT of Anti-Jesus Memes... Allah, Buddha, KRSNA and Flying Spaghetti Monster Satirized TOO... 

One of the Problems with Religious People IS: Some are Not Only Freaking Insane but Dangerous TOO! I believe That EVERYONE in America Remembers That Osama bin Laden Wrapped a TOWEL Around his Head... Because He Believes in ALLAH and Moe-Ham-Mad... and He Convinced a Buncha FREAKS to Hijack Airplanes and Fly them Into The World Trade Center and the Pentagon... Killing 3,000 Americans... So It's Pretty Easy to Conclude that Towelheads are a Danger to People Worldwide... 

and... It's difficult to forget that Many Catholic Priests are Very Fond of Molesting Young Boys... but You have to remember that Priests take a "Vow of Chasity" and That Means NO SEX with Women... OF COURSE That Job Attracts FREAKS... 

Man don't you get sick of the preposterous statement "you can't prove god doesn't exist" I well here comes the answer. I would tell them "It is not my job to prove that, as the claim is all you, which means the burden of proof has nothing to do with me. Not being convinced in a claim is not the same as making a claim". Same exact thing as telling them they cannot prove that leprechauns are not real, and I can say that without believing in leprechauns my own self. Unfalsifiable claims are called that for a reason lol. If a person is genuinely expecting you to prove that God is not real, they obviously do not even get that the God claim is an unfalsifiable claim. Typically, a large portion of what theists tend to believe are outright unfalsifiable claims. It is like a flood gate, once people start using the phony system of "faith", they start justifying some insane things, and without the need for any shred of evidence, they can spout complete lies, and in some cases lies that can be proven to be lies, they will still hold onto them, as the very way we measure evidence "science", they tend to disregard completely. In essence, I would say "I don't have to do any work towards proving or disproving your unfalsifiable claim", and maybe also say that "merely thinking a thought, does not make it true or fact" lol, sad enough to even have to say those things with a straight face, but yes that is where we are at as a species.

Imagine that, despite none of the tests being successful, you wish to be scrupulously open-minded. So you don't outright reject the notion that there's a fire-breathing dragon in my garage. You merely put it on hold. Present evidence is strongly against it, but if a new body of data emerge you're prepared to examine it and see if it convinces you. Surely it's unfair of me to be offended at not being believed; or to criticize you for being stodgy and unimaginative — merely because you rendered the Scottish verdict of "not proved."

Imagine that things had gone otherwise. The dragon is invisible, all right, but footprints are being made in the flour as you watch. Your infrared detector reads off scale. The spray paint reveals a jagged crest bobbing in the air before you. No matter how skeptical you might have been about the existence of dragons —to say nothing about invisible ones —you must now acknowledge that there's something here, and that in a preliminary way it's consistent with an invisible, fire breathing dragon.

Now another scenario: Suppose it's not just me. Suppose that several people of your acquaintance, including people who you're pretty sure don't know each other, all tell you they have dragons in their garages — but in every case the evidence is maddeningly elusive. All of us admit we're disturbed at being gripped by so odd a conviction so ill supported by the physical evidence. None of us is a lunatic. We speculate about what it would mean if invisible dragons were really hiding out in garages all over the world, with us humans just catching on. I'd rather it not be true, I tell you. But maybe all those ancient European and Chinese myths about dragons weren't myths at all. . .

Gratifyingly, some dragon-size footprints in the flour are now reported. But they're never made when a skeptic is looking. An alternative explanation presents itself: On close examination it seems clear that the footprints could have been faked. Another dragon enthusiast shows up with a burnt finger and attributes it to a rare physical manifestation of the dragon's fiery breath. But again, other possibilities exist. We understand that there are other ways to burn fingers besides the breath of invisible dragons. Such "evidence" —no matter how important the dragon advocates consider it—is far from compelling. Once again, the only sensible approach is tentatively to reject the dragon hypothesis, to be open to future physical data, and to wonder what the cause might be that so many apparently sane and sober people share the same strange delusion.

-The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark – by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan, 1997

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has touched me with His noodly appendage after vanquishing all other deities in divine combat and informed me his sauciness created the universe. Can't disprove me?! Then it must be true! ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY NOODLE! CREATOR OF ALL PASTA AND HOOMANS. R'amen!

If we accept that any belief is valid if it can't be disproven, then my claim about the Flying Spaghetti Monster creating the universe with His noodly appendage is as valid as the Christian claim of a deity creating the world in seven days. In fact, the Flying Spaghetti Monster's existence is backed by empirical evidence!

Did you know that as the number of pirates has decreased, global warming has gotten worse? Now, that's empirical evidence for the Flying Spaghetti Monster's influence if I've ever seen it! That's more than I can say for walking on water or resurrecting from the dead!

In fact, there's evidence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster everywhere you look! Every time you see a bowl of spaghetti, that's evidence. Just look around you! How can you deny it all!?

Every time you feel a sense of peace while eating pasta, that's His Noodly Appendage touching you. And let's not forget the global decline in pirates, which has led to an increase in global warming! Exactly as the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster predicted.

Now, my deity just wants us to enjoy pasta and live in harmony. No eternal damnation, no original sin, just endless pasta bowls. If we're going to accept one set of unprovable claims, why not accept them all? After all, can you disprove that His Divine Sauciness isn't the true architect of reality? If not, then ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY NOODLE! R'amen!

So, let us sauce;

Our Noodly Appendage, who art in a colander,

Draining be your noodles.

Thy noodles come,

Thy sauce be yum,

On top some grated Parmesan.

Give us this day our garlic bread,

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trample on our lawns.

And lead us not into vegetarianism,

But deliver us some pizza,

For thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce,

Forever and ever.

R'amen.
