You must have skipped the Old Testament

I’ve read their book several times. Take some comfort from the fact that if they are right, all of them are on the side they thought they were against.

Lol…i’ll admit that i’ve skipped over more of it. it’s a lot more tedious than the new one. i have my own path though and don’t need no stinking books. my god encompasses all gods and everything. no one can think of a greater god because mine will just eclipse it. it also doesn’t require worship because it has much more self-confidence than those little pussy gods.

Funny you say that given how petty and insecure Yahweh is in the OT.
Definitely traits that I want to see in my all-knowing, all-powerful god… Jealousy and pettiness.

Yeah, my god calls that one a little tantrum baby

Nobody is righteous. The only reason people are saved is through grace.

Yeah, and they don’t get saved by trying to anticipate the end times and leading others astray.

The book states ‘no one knows when’ several times; even in Revelations, the book literally about end times.
And there are many times in modern human history that people were sure it had kicked off. But it didn’t and things just got better again. It’s like our thing to almost wipe ourselves out but miserably kick on for another day.
We only just appeared here anyway so we’ll likely disappear just as recently as well and some other living thing will have its turn, and so on, and so on, until the sun takes out the atmosphere and then the planet. And fin.

That ball of meat we have in our skulls is too limiting in imagination. I like to think that we can’t even comprehend what comes next (the other side of whatever this is). but, having done enough LSD back in the 90s, I know it will be fun…
