Exclamation My Name Is The Lord

I am not sending my defected object codes anywhere, I'll fix them instead! I would save the current system state to a backup file. Start debugging the program. Rewrite the codes for Human objects. Remove flaws that omnipotent, omniscient yet stupid old me has left there before somehow. Enhance logical reasoning factor of HumanBrain objects. Remove Supernatural objects (Heaven Hell etc). Reset environmental variables. Make sure the program is balanced. Compile. Reboot and execute program. Beta testing and bug fixes. Then finally maintenance phase.

We wanted to be here on earth, starting in ignorance, travelling and ends in enlightenment.

We want to re-experience and discover ourselves.


Who is "we?" I'm sure we'd all bypass this Earthly cr@p if we could all advance to "Go" and collect £200.

Ask and you shall be given

This, as you well know my dear Darth Dane, is bollocks. I never met anyone who could truthfully testify as to the veracity of this horse shit, least of all myself after 40 years of earnestly asking.

We asked for this earthly Life, we want to feel what it is to be physical in this sense.

In dreams in it is very untangible.

try to really touch something in your dreams, if you become concious in your dreams.


There you go with that "we" again...........

"We" is all of humankind.

Would it be fun only to see the last 5 minutes of a movie?

Would it be fun would it be fun only to read the last 5 pages of a book?

When you are at work and are faced with a new problem, what is more rewarding: To find the way to the solution or just being given it by someone else?

Is it more desirable to walk on your own, or do you wish as a child to be carried everywhere?

As absurd as it might seem, it is more fun reading the whole book, with all of the charachters up's and down's, wouldn't you agree?


Is it more fun learning a new craft compared to just knowing how to do it?

Is it more fun learning new languages than just being able to?

This, as you well know my dear Darth Dane, is bollocks. I never met anyone who could truthfully testify as to the veracity of this horse shit, least of all myself after 40 years of earnestly asking.


I will testify, but if you want me to prove it, how can I?


There you go with that "we" again...........

Well thats my belief isn't it?

And to me the only way things will make sense, but maybe I am fubar?

If I were God, I would have done something to prevent the effects of their evil actions from hurting other people so much. And then I would have set down for a little one on one with Hitler, "Look! I am God. The Jews, they aren't all that bad--so cut this out or I'll start the apocalypse early."

best,

If I were god, and assuming I had no power to prevent these people from:
  • Being born
  • Killing people
  • Generally being unpleasent

I'd do what yaweh does: temporarily change "evil" to "good", and I'd be required to let them in by default. Once that's done, just reverse good and evil again.

Alternatively, if I was the kind of omnipotent god that permitted everything because it was according to my plan, and I was indeed a just god; then I'd still be required to let them into heaven, as they did precisely what I'd created them to do.

If I were god, I would send

Quote:
Hitler
Stalin
Saddam Hussein
Uday Hussein
Bin Laden
to da Moon and played human chess with them.

I would hold human chess tournaments with all the nasty little sinners. Then I'd have them perform ballets and operas, and possible modern theatre.

Who knows, maybe I'd have Hitler and Stalin box or wrassle.

I'm sure you are wondering why I, God, am doing this? Well, I work in mysterious ways mortal, and your mind just ain't big enough to understand my infinite wisdom. Its all part of my "plan." Yeah, that's it.

Heaven OR hell (no non-existence)

Well, I guess it would depend on which god I happened to be:

If I were the Christian God:
Hitler: Heaven - after all he was a Christian
Stalin: Hell - stupid unbeliever
Saddam: Hell - sorry, you picked the wrong god to worship.
Uday: Hell - see previous
Bin Laden: Hell - see previous

If I were the Islamic God:
Hitler: Hell - sorry, you picked the wrong god to worship.
Stalin: Hell - stupid unbeliever
Sadam: Heaven - (a.k.a. Virgins R Us)
Uday: Heaven - see previous
Bin Laden: Heaven - see previous

If I were a god of my own making:
Hitler: rub his nose in all the poop of his dispicable life and smack him out of existence forever.
Stalin: Make him work on a "collective farm" for 100 years then smack him out of existence forever.
Saddam: force him to do 100 years worth of community service for women's advocacy groups then smack him out of existence forever.
Uday: Reincarnate him as an ugly woman (then after she dies, smack her out of existence forever).
Bin Laden: Force him to watch reruns of the 700 club, then smack him out of existence forever.
