If god is infallible, what is he so scared of?
Why does (or why do morons who believe anything they're told) he have it out for anyone that doesn't conform to his way? Then he sends em to hell. Is he afraid of an uprising in heaven? If he's so almighty why can't he be comfortable with that fact and stop trying to scare us?
I think God's got some self-confidence issues, and some mortal weaknesses. And if he tries sending me to hell, I'll tell him to piss off and go spend a nice afternoon at the movies. Then we'll see just how all-powerful he is!

Who's with me?!

1. I've heard that
god is only an adolescent who has ego problems. Maybe when he grows up will he be less into scary stuff.

Why would you think he has a small penis and why would that keep him from breeding?

15. For starters his mother tells him everything
But she lied about the size because I told the whole town she's a dead fuck. Oddly though the whole town already knew that.

I was wondering about the tiny part too, that has nothing to do with fertility.

33. I hear ya...
One time I lipped someone off for being a real heartless bad person (I'd otherwise use something stronger), but my message was deleted, and I got a warning. (of course, that user's message still sat there. Disgusting.)

4. What I dont understand
is why people are always defending God, like s(he) can't take care of her/him self. I think God can handle about anything you throw at him (her). So why don't people quit trying to act like his (her) lawyer?

7. Not to mention doesn't god know what you're gonna say anyway?
Why doesn't god stop it then? Maybe because twits like the above poster prairdogged need to hear the truth and god wants that.

16. Or do we all worship the same God
Like as if there is more than one, and some people worship the other one. Except they believe there is only one so how could anyone worship another one, but if that's true they must worship the same one as me except, they can't because my god is the true god so they must be wrong so we must kill them, see?

14. You are not talking about God but mankind's conception of God
who is to say what God feels? And exactly what is hell, and who really sends someone there? It could be that God is much much different than this limited concept. From my spiritual experiences and study of the world's religions, I'd say that God is much more sublime, simple/complex than anyone can really imagine.

Why does he/she/it have to be all mysterious? If God talks to people all the time, why are there no new gospels? "The Book of Kurt", or "the Gospel according to Fred." Why is it that God talked to a shitload of people a couple of thousand years ago, but is'nt near as talkative today. Is it that we treat people who say they can talk to God differently today? And why is it that the Virgin only appears these days on tree stumps in vacant lots or as a prismatic reflection on an office window?
Doe god punish unbelievers who have never heard of Chrisitanity? If we are to believe the popular televangelists. And speaking of televangelists, are they going to be in Heaven? If so, it might suck.

29. I wonder why people assume that blind worship will impress god.
If I were god, I'd be much more impressed by an atheist who does good without the threat of eternal punishment.

I'd respect that heretic with the guts to stand up in a god-fearing crowd and say, "this is bullshit".

I think I'd be put-off by endless fawning, wouldn't you?

30. Monty Python's god
"Everytime I talk to people it's 'forgive me this and I'm sorry that' it gets so tiring."

Plus isn't vanity a sin? If so wouldn't a snotty "I'm better than all you guys god be a sinner?" Hence a hypocrite.

31. Woody Allen:
If god exists the best you can say is he's an underachiever.

As for me, I don't have any invisible friends.

34. God hates the whole world right now
Allah ain't helping out Iran. Didn't help Iraq. Didn't seem to help out Afghanistan either.

God doesn't seem to care for the US right now, California in particular...

What if there is no God (as we know such a God to be) and people have to think and learn to cope for themselves and each other, instead of listening to some magical deity that tells 'em to hurt and kill and be rewarded? (and the concept of people claiming that God talked to them or sent them to help us just shows how psychotic they are, right George*?)

36. I believe in god, BUT
I've always wondered why god would think that killing his son (Jesus) is what mankind would require of him in order to prove that he loves us!....What kind of an opinion does he have of we mortals, if he believes that such a bloodthirsty act is needed....I, myself, would gladly relinquish a claim on this particular sacrifice.....

37. Count me in ! ! !
I mean, the guy sits around all alone for what, 14 BILLION YEARS or so? and suddenly decides to have a family. Just so he can fry most of them.

Gotta be a freeper.
