If you met God would you tell him he's an a$$hole?

[styley]

Just because of all the hurt in the world and the apparent pointlessness of it all when you think about it. Without going too far, let's just mention for example all of the people who can't eat properly and just sit about waiting to die in Africa and that. And there's loads of other stuff too.

[China Doll]

Supposing for two secs I believed in a God. On meetiing him I'm more likely to say,

Dude, that human model series you released needs a lot of work. They've a major self destruct button and they're not team players. But excellent work on the bugs man, they worked out real well.

There's an old Spike Milligan saying, 'God made night but man made darkness.' I don't believe in God but I think the latter part of the statement makes a good point.

[Theland1]

If you don't believe in God anyway, then you are simply barking at the moon.
If you do believe in God, then you would have to be very brave or very stupid to call him that.

[styley]

Can't you be both?

[snow.maiden]

I'd apologise for not being one of his followers.

Styley � I have no doubt that you would get a fair trial. But I think what China Doll said is very right. Although she does not believe in God but I am sure for all the things you are mentioning are not the fault of God. That is the misuse of the choice God has given us. If people are waiting to die because they are hungry then God does not say that within this world one should eat so much that he should become obese, one should waste so much that they create mountains of wasted food where in the same street may be someone would not have even to stay alive. God�s distribution is not unjust, it human who have created imbalance.

[Tichfield]

If I met God - which is an impossibility - then apparently I would not have to tell him ( or her or it ) anything because God is supposed to be omnipotent and omnicient .

[hau kola]

I don`t believe in god but if there really is one, yes, i`d tell " him"? he`s an a$$hole then punch his lights out.

[naomi24]

I never use bad language, but at this particular moment in my life, if God did exist, and if I met him right now, I might make an exception - and despite being the peaceful soul I am and not knowing precisely what his 'lights' are, I might even recruit hau kola to punch them out. However, screwing my logical head back on, I'm with Tichfield. Why would I need to tell him? Apparently he would know already.

Theland .... do I detect fear? No love in fear, is there?

[ELVIS68]

God is about as real as Father Christmas, Tooth Fairys and
Bogeymen

[styley]

I wonder if you did call him one would he take it thick or be the bigger man and accept that he kind of is? If he admitted that he could do better in his job and said he'd try to change himself for the better, I think I would give him the benefit of the doubt. But he doesn't even seem to think we're worth bothering about and I don't think he really respects our opinions too much.

[naomi24]

I wouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt. In fact I wouldn't trust him an inch. If he exists, he's had hundreds of years in which to prove himself, and in my opinion, he's failed miserably.

[snow.maiden]

or maybe it's just the human race that has.

[naomi24]

Since many of them belief in him, perhaps we can say him and them both, then.

[Goodsoulette]

ermmm no I wouldnt!

Working on the whole belief system, we were given free will. Humans have arsed up this planet. Americans sit around eating so much that if the whole world ate that much we'd need another two planets to grow the freaking food, yet there are people starving. Any problem that needs money throwing at it, could probably solved with a bit of compassion from those with the cash and those who need it using it properly or receiving it.

[naomi24]

Sorry, 'believe'.

[snow.maiden]

I agree with that goodsoulette.

[ELVIS68]

In my opinion, anyone who lives their life following religion is a life wasted

You are born, get on with it in your own way

[naomi24]

That's absolutely true - no doubt about that - but getting away from the greed and selfishness of man, and back to this supposedly loving god, about whom this question was asked, I don't see much evidence of his compassion - or help - when people ask for it.

[naomi24]

My answer was to Goodsoulette.

Naomi, I bought this second hand couch from a retired trick cyclist. and I'm struggling trying to get it down the spiral staircase and into the sanctuary of the temple.
Once it is installed, you will be the first one to try it out, and you can let your worries and fears go into the blue yonder.
Methinks you are troubled this evening, and your co-disciples will be only too willing to psychoanalyze you and kick some demon ass! Teamwork! Mwah!
