    Christians are so funny lmao “imagine you’re a bee in a farm and the beekeeper was god”

    The bees can see the beekeeper Colin. This is a terrible analogy.

      This analogy also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of god lol.

      God is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient and somehow existing outside of time and space. Like nothing is supposed to happen unless god wills it. The bee keeper can’t keep track of everything happening to every bee and just adjust things with less than a thought.

    If men are bees and God is the beekeeper then it logically follows that God has a cousin Earl who drives the heavenly equivalent of an old pickup truck and smokes meth.

        Earl’s not evil. He’s not even interested in the bees. That’s why God only talks about Samael, one of his kids from his ex wife.

    I just had the feeling the entire of existence is just a very convoluted random number generator that got far too out of hand

      Hmm… there was something about a deluge, murdering of Egyptians, a big building collapse and some saline statues. But who throws the first stone.

        All totally justified, therefore not sins. Apparently.

        I was aiming for theodicy.

    God: Calling them cruel names while they literally bend over backwards to please you? That’s going into the book.

    If there are higher being and souls are real we’re probably a soul farm for their sustenance.
