"God hates you"

[Taverner]

Look, I know there is no god, no Jesus, no afterlife, no truth to the bible or any other book written in the iron age. But if god did exist, there's a good case to be made that he's an asshole and hates us all.

Like "Saint" Palahniuk once said "You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen." Granted, he's talking about our fathers, but the point is still the same.

"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?" says Epicurus. And he's dead on.

If a god exists, and makes us gay, or sinful, or not - and then condemn those to hell whom he made "sinful," then he's a complete despotic asshole. Honestly, if the god of the bible did exist, I would be a Satanist - at least he tried to help us (that is, if the garden of eden story is true.)

Any god who "loves" us so much that he's willing to send most of us to hell for eternal torment - then that sounds like a despotic piece of shit. Hell, Sadaam and Quadaffi would be better rulers than god. STALIN and HITLER would be better than god.

1. Anybody else ever heard this one?

I have a dimpled chin. When I was about 6 or 7 years old, at a family reunion, some Great-Aunt or something came up and poked my dimple.

Even at that young age, I avoided most of my female relatives when they tried to hug/smooch me. For one thing, this was the Deep South and a lot of those women dipped snuff. For another, I'm just not a touchy-feely kinda person and never have been.

Anyway, this old bat said my chin dimple was a...Bad Sign. Because when I was coming down the Baby Assembly Line - located somewhere in Heaven, of course - Gawd made my dimple when he poked me in the chin and said: "I don't like this one very much." While she jabbed me in the chin several more times. She's lucky I didn't kick her in the knee.

Hey, maybe THAT'S why I became an atheist! I don't like that vindictive old bastard very much, either.

That's why we should worship the Immortal Emperor instead. :D
