  • Lol. I guess a good faith response from a theologian or someone like Leibniz would be that we by definition are much smaller than god, so we don’t have enough information to judge god.

    If we are going to play the “let’s say god does exist” game, I’d say the if god is creating rational beings with some sort of free will, and not just automatons that do exactly what the creator wants, and he created a stable world based on physics to house these beings, it’s going to get pretty messy at times. Death itself would surely seem like evil and cause a man to curse god - until a man ponders living forever and realizes that death is in fact a blessing.

    I like the idea that god is the one already stuck living forever, and creates us as to be be able to experience mortality. But I can also say that’s all bullshit and we could never know for sure, and is arguably very unlikely, given the current circumstances.

    Perhaps in death we will know.






  • I’m sorry you are getting downvoted in a shitpost sub. Some people are just kinky mammajammas with a high propensity for actively expressing angst in an anonymous online forum. Maybe this will cheer you up, mate, maybe these downvotes are really upvotes from down under (or up over!). You never know. The thing about cultures is, it’s difficult to clearly understand a particular social totem, such as a typical behavior for a certain role in any given group, however, the sheer juxtaposital quality of modern life demands we make decisions regarding how we treat the inevitable multicultural conflict that will arise. The best we can to is jerk ourselves off, if no one else will. Cheers mate, let’s jerk ourselves off together, and together do our part to cover the world in sticky, sticky love.



  • I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted in a shitpost sub. Some people who can’t love themselves try their best to make sure others share in their pain. It’s ok. I found your joke lighthearted and amusing, and my day is better for it. I hope you have a great day, too. Do we ever stop to think about how today is one out of a limited amount we will live? Surely, under such circumstances, I want my brothers and sisters to experience as little pain as possible. It seems only right. Sometimes that amounts to tough lessons, but what use is a chide without a correction? It comes down to indecency - a decent person passes negative judgements in a constructive, not a dismissive way. But, unfortunately, your fellow humans are not always so enlightened. What then? Well, I suppose we must carry their pain for them, along with our own, and we must resist the temptation to pass our pain off on others. Over time, this builds character - and when you can recognize quality character in others, you can form alliances and work together to teach others to likewise build character. It becomes a rather rewarding process, over time. Cheers my friend. Let us join our good will together, and together be a force for kinship, love, empathy, and stoutheartedness in this fragile, broken, but beautiful world. Peace my friend - I love you when even no one else will. Don’t ever forget that! And think of my from time to time, my friend!
