I’d also like to be able to “I.M.” god; I’ve got few bones to pick with them about some of their creations down here…
This is why you should donate to the ACLU. And why the First Amendment applies, by design, to unpleasant and/or unpopular speech.
Word. We seem to be stuck with a no-reply email address and a million shitty contact-us forms that don’t even seem to reach past poorly trained customer service reps.
Be our own god was the bag-lord thing.
Is this guy a bag-lord?
I quite like this guy.
They need to appeal. No way he qualifies as number 5.
Or how about discussing the definition of “absentee landlord” means. I mean for someone who can do miracles at any time we seem to be in short supply.
It was hot, and I was hungry, OK?
He may not be God, but he certainly is my spirit animal…
Didn’t expect to be hitting like on that reference today, but I can’t say I’m upset.
Cat: Okay… Turn this into a woman.
It’s a weird hill to die on, but I like the cut of his jib!
Paraphrasing R. Heinlein in Stranger in a Strange Land, I am god, you are god, everybody who groks is god.
"Dear God"
Dear God, hope you got the letter
And I pray you can make it better
Down here
I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don’t get enough to eat
From God
I can’t believe in you
Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but I feel
That I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can’t make opinions meet
About God
I can’t believe in you
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear God, don’t know if you noticed
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
Us crazy humans wrote it
You should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain’t, so do you,
Dear God
I can’t believe in
I don’t believe in
I won’t believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You’re always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it’s the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody’s unholy hoax
And if you’re up there you perceive
That my heart’s here upon my sleeve
If there’s one thing I don’t believe in
It’s you
Dear God
