Our God

Our God is so pathetic that we have to kill people for It. It doesn't know how. So we do God's work.

No. That's your god.

My God is an awesome God.

No one on this planet is killing people for God.

They may think they are...

You are easily decieved, grassshopper, by false prophets. The force is strong. Go with the force. Impose your god's will. Do unto others as he cannot do. As was decreed by the Founders. May the Lord be with you.

Whose god???

There are SO many of them!

Its all about someone's god being better than someone else's god. Just stop the nonsense altogether. Please. Just take god out of the equation.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?

The question is who defines evil? A toddler thinks it's evil when his mother doesn't let him eat ice cream for breakfast, but from our perspective we can see he is wrong. From God's perspective maybe human suffering and death aren't really as bad as we think they are, because there is more going on than we can understand with our immature little brains.

He came to us in the form of George Burns. He told us quite simply how he works. Epicurus was too old (and dead) to hear him.
