If your imaginary gawd is truly “loving” and omnipotent, why?
- Make men peak sexually at 17 and women at 40
- Dry out the body with age, so you have to drink more water, while simultaneously enlarging the prostate
- Appendicitis. The appendix is NOT useless — it’s a good way to kill the poor or uninsured
- Allow mosquitoes/leeches/parasites to thrive
- Create viruses? They don’t breathe or think, they only mutate so they can live to make us sick and die
- Viagra — Allow humans to cure erectile dysfunction in men (who are probably unfuckable and should not be trying to reproduce anyway) before finding a cure for cancer.
- Cancer? Literally, the idea is to have our own cells kill us.
There’s a much longer list we could make, but I’m going to stop at “cancer.” Seems like cancer should win “Dick Move of the Year” for eternity…
Feel free to add your own list of Dick Moves of the Omnipotent in the comments.
I can’t think of anything more foolish that believing that there are gods.
Or even worse that said gods are actually involved in our lives — deciding football games, which kids survive cancer or car accidents and directing tornados.
Yeah, cancer seems like one of umpteen negligent design flaws.
Sounds like you’re in as positive a place as I am.
This kind of bullshit list actually makes me feel better.
I used to deliver Salvation Army bell ringers to their assignments. During that stint I found myself giving the Major a ride. He told a story about god telling him to visit his brother who was a bad alcoholic. When he arrive his brother said he was just about to commit suicide. The Major was convinced god had sent him to save his brother.
I said, “wouldn’t it be easier if god didn’t make him and alcoholic?” The major replied that his brother had free will to drink. My answer was “why would god let his free will lead him to drinking , then send you to prevent his free will to commit suicide?”
The silence was defining.
For believers, the words “why” and “god” cannot appear in the same sentence.
