Welcome HaroldJ.
Good post.
Given the time, place and people with whom he hung, I’ve long believed that Jesus probably told and enjoyed fart jokes***

***assuming for the sake of argument that the bloke actually existed, which I doubt.
Great, now I can’t stop picturing Jesus as Willie Nelson telling fart jokes. I’d once heard of people making pilgrimages to a wall where a faint picture of Jesus had appeared, then someone realized it was a painted over picture of Willie Nelson.
Indeed, it’s also worth noting that Pascal’s wager assumes the risk is all on one side of a binary choice, which is not even remotely true.
Throughout human history making the choice to believe in an extant deity was as likely to get you killed as making no choice, and of course all these thousands of deities can’t all be real, and there are an equally bewildering number of choices that theists of the same religions subdivide into after that. So by Pascal’s rationale the risk seems as great for both decisions.
Though of course I don’t believe there is any risk to atheism, anymore than I believe there is a deity, as neither proposition can be supported by any objective evidence.
Beyond that, as you stated, the idea you could fool a deity with limitless power and knowledge is wildly irrational.
@boomer47 Here’s a funny commercial about farts. This will crack you up.
The title of this Op is “God is real and we are all going to hell”, yes?
First, as mentioned by others already…provide physical evidence for the existence of any God or Gods that you claim to exist and is real. Second, provide physical evidence that hell exists.
No? All is hear is crickets…or maybe just pure silence. Yeah…I didn’t think so!
I just have to have faith? No thanks, but I would rather be sane than delusional.
As of today, I made the decision to categorically reject anything and everything supernatural, such as any God or Gods. I dedicate this to @Cognostic…he may be harsh and brash, but he is on point.
When I was about 5 and my sis was about 3 we had farting contests in church. They were SBD’s ( silent but deadly)
One day sis misjudged and shat herself. Dad was livid.
I once saw a flatmate light his fart. It produced an attractive blue flame. I learned years later that the practice was not uncommon among adolescent males. But, it can result in some nasty burns. Apparently people in ER’s are not amused.
@boomer47 You know what they say…you smelt it, you dealt it!
For me, sometimes I fart, and just like your sister, all I can say is that more comes out than needs to.
Although I have obtained the trifecta of simultaneous sneeze, fart and wee, I am still able to trust my farts.
sphincter muscle
Just saying it… sphincter
For some reason it’s got a great sound and a great job
I presume you refer to the anal sphincter?
Sorry to be noodge, but a sphincter is simply a type of muscle. There are over 60 types of sphincter muscles in the human body
Oh
Yes.
Anal.
First time I’ve said yes to anal.
I’ve never said yes. Actually turned it down once when offered by a girlfriend. Have always regretted that.
“god” put the male g-spot in a forbidden place
How much more evidence do you need of god’s “perfect creation”?
I reject that I’m harsh. The most loving person in the room will risk telling you how it is. I am willing and able to crawl down that fucking rabbit hole with you and cry until we can’t cry any more. Then we are going to face the fucking facts and drag ourselves out. That’s how it works. I know. I have been down enough fucking rabbit holes to start my own museum. Excuses are the cushions people toss out there to keep their asses from getting sore when life lets them down.
Oh, do you mean the prostate?
So . since the prostate is capable of giving pleasure, and according to the bible, man is in the image of god …did god sort of … enjoy his prostate?
And according to the bible people go to heaven, what is god going to be doing with those eager and willing souls?
Praise the lord … ughhh, praise the lord … arghhhh ahhhhhh
I have burped and farted at the same time…weird.
We are all going to hell, this Op says? Dealing with you religious folks, who cannot learn to “live and let live”, in terms of respecting our choice to believe or not believe as we see fit, including in the existence and reality of any God, Gods or Goddesses, is hell enough. Respect is a two-way street, theists…you want me to respect your beliefs, then respect my beliefs or non-beliefs. Simple as that.
@Cognostic And I won’t let it be any other way. You keep us all straight and honest, and I appreciate that, since we all need someone to keep us in line. So thank you.
