Maybe I need to drink some punch to get the punchline…or maybe join the punchline to get some punch. LMAO!

You know…I always thought that whatever existed, does so within the space-time, meaning, this universe. Therefore, if ā€œGodā€ did exist (provided that he does exist), then he would exist within the space-time realm and not beyond it, let alone prior to the existence of this space-time universe.

Therefore, the argument, by theists, for the existence of God beyond or before the space-time universe, including as the ā€œCreatorā€, ā€œMakerā€ or ā€œFirst Causeā€ of the universe, is #epicfail.

Now you are getting the feel of this place. :wink:

Well, I have been lurking before I joined a couple of months ago. @boomer47 and @Whitefire13 are my two favorites. You are also good discussionist and logician. But yeah…feel good to be home. :slightly_smiling_face:

I always seriously question anyone’s judgement who chooses to like me :grimacing:

…and Cranks??? Hahahaha - now you just flushed it down the toilet :toilet:

That’s what Cog is here for.

He still hasn’t given me my mental health assessment - fucking chicken shit :hatched_chick: :poop: (notice cute emojis)

That was a pretty smelly piece of turd, mind you! LMAO! :joy: :joy: :joy:

And yet it is completely BIBLICAL.

A text written by flawed and imperfect humans, and NOT of Divine origin. If theists can use the Bible to prove that their God exists, then I can use the Avengers comic books to prove that Thanos exists, or the Harry Potter books to prove that Voldemort exists.

That does not mean that either God or Thanos or Voldemort exists in reality. Sorry theists.

Here is the problem White… you are going to have to learn to be more of a victim.

You could develop anxiety attacks and find yourself curled up on the kitchen floor crying your eyes out because life isn’t fair. Do like my mom did… drag your kids down to the welfare office and demand that they take them from you and place them in foster homes. Stop being so fucking rational when you talk about your kids. Learn to take any little problem they present you with and blow it all out of proportion and then blame yourself for being such a horrible parent. Stop trying so damn hard to be so damn good and just give up. Then we will have something to discuss.

You could develop some useful delusions. I don’t know why you wouldn’t. The legal system is favoring your ex. He probably bribed the judge. There are private detectives watching your house and following you around. Your neighbors are in collusion. Your boss only gave you the job so he can report back to your ex. God is punishing you for abandoning your faith.

Oh I know… create a good pathological double bind for yourself. All you have to do is look in the mirror and tell yourself, ā€œI can’t do anything right.ā€ This is a great message for a self fulfilling prophecy. It’s great because there is nothing in your life that you have ever done that could not have been done better. You can always find a flaw in everything and the more observant you are the better you can become at this. Just remember, ā€œtrying is not enough.ā€ ā€œOnly perfection counts.ā€ You are not worth loving if you are not perfect. Trying is not enough. Everything you do turns to shit and you can’t do anything right.

You work on this for a while as a single mom, raising three boys and doing the best you can. Just practice this for a month, and then, we will have something to talk about.

Thanks! Will do!!! I always follow and value advice from people on the internet!!! They know everything :grin:

Here’s a tip for those who think god needs money:

Take a goodly amount of cash. Go to the nearest open space, like a park or sport’s ground. Stand in the middle of that big empty------

Throw the money into the air after telling god to take all he wants.

99999999((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((9999999999999999999999

This was probably funnier in the early 1960’s when I first heard it.

The first astronaut has returned safely to the earth. He has reported seeing god.

Reporter, wetting himself with excitement: Welcome home Colonel Brian, I understand you saw Godd?

Col Brian: Yes, I did.

Reporter, can you please tell us what Godd is like?

Col Brian: Yes, Ok. There are going to be some big changes------- First of all, she’s black. :thinking:
