god says
: oi
cbattaglia says
: hey there
god says
: lol
cbattaglia says
: ?
god says
: u know who i am?
cbattaglia says
: sure. you’re the big cheese
god says
: lmao, got that right
cbattaglia says
: what’s up?
god says
: nothing much. u?
cbattaglia says
: same
god says
: ...so, got any questions for me?
cbattaglia says
: i guess... is that why you’re talking to me?
god says
: sure. lol
cbattaglia says
: ok. well, i guess the biggest one right now would be: why are youtalking to me?
god says
: why not?
cbattaglia says
: seems kind of random. i mean, i don’t even believe in you. usually youappear to people who already preach about you 24/7
god says
: yeah... i’m kind of tired of those guys. they’re mostly brown-nosers and spindoctors, so i figured i’d try something different today
cbattaglia says
: is that why you’re using MSN, instead of the preferred “visions”methods?
god says
: how do you know this isn’t just a vision?
 
cbattaglia says
: ...touche, god.
god says
: lol
cbattaglia says
: but seriously, why me: an atheist? why not a Muslim or Buddhist or Hindu?
god says
: y would i appear before them? i’m looking for a change here. they already believe in me
cbattaglia says
: how so?
god says
: at the core, all spiritual beliefs are the same. they’re about knowing deep downthat there is something more out there, some sort of presence, and framework, guiding auniverse that feels too complex to be random
cbattaglia says
: i see, but they all believe different things...
god says
: the core is the same, and that core is me. to some, i am more than one being. toothers, i have more eyes or limbs. some even believe that i have no physicallyrecognizable form. the interpretations may vary, but my existence is constant
cbattaglia says
: ok, but if that’s true, why all the hatred and fighting done in your name?it’s kind of pointless if they’re all fighting for the same side
god says
: lol, don’t go pinning that on me. and yes, it’s completely pointless. the fact thatthey commit these atrocities in my name pisses me off to no end
cbattaglia says
: then why don’t you stop it?
god says
: because that’s not how i roll. i’m not the babysitter of earth, or any of the other  planets. the reason i gave u guys free will was so that i wouldn’t have to hold ur hand allthe time. i have a life too, y’know
cbattaglia says
: ok, makes sense
cbattaglia says
: wait... other planets? do those planets have life?
god says
: of course! lmao y wouldn’t i put life on other planets? u guys aren’t my 1special little project. and i must say, u aren’t the best of the bunch, either. not the worst, but...
cbattaglia says
: hehe, i bet
god says
: anyway, like i was saying, i don’t enjoy being attached to the causes of everyone who craves comfort, power, validation, etc, but it’s not like i can blame them.false security is the warmest blanket there is. i do hate it when i’m held responsible for nature’s stuff though. that shit is on autopilot. it just works with what it’s given
cbattaglia says
: so gays didn’t cause you to make Katrina?
god says
: lol no, and what’s with people attaching me to their views on gays? i have no problem with them. what i do have a problem with is my name being used to mask  personal insecurities
cbattaglia says
: doesn’t it say something in the bible about homosexuality being wrong?
god says
: i didn’t write that thing. lol this is what i was talking about earlier: the spindoctors. i may be at the core of all spirituality, but everything that branches off of thatisn’t from me
cbattaglia says
: i see... so you don’t endorse any “holy” texts?
god says
: lmao! NO! do u know how many times those things have been translated,interpreted and re-written to include or exclude certain passages??? i’m pretty sure there’seven a story out there about my son making a trip to Utah. it’s like a plot for a bad teenmovie. i don’t even have a son. lol
cbattaglia says
: wow. interesting. so jesus wasn’t yours?

4) You wrote, "keep in mind that religion is nothing more than thoughts, like any other make-believe story, and the only place those thoughts truly live is in the minds of people. It doesn't matter what form of Christianity is considered by theological scholars (and again: waste of time, why not study archaeology instead?) to be "pure" or "true," because all that matters is how many people believe it." Are you serious? So all religions are based on stories, and nothing more? There is no evidence at all for the belief? That's the view you're going to take? 6) "Look, I'm not trying to refute anything. I'm not trying to argue the merits of Christianity or display my knowledge of religion's history. I'm past all that. You should be too. Everyone should be. We outgrew our religion pants long ago when we figured out other, more accurate methods of discovery than simply telling stories of things we think we saw and things we know we didn't. Now the idea of religion is holding us back more than anything, and we'd go a lot further if we let go of our superstitions and moved on with our life." It's sad. You have the potential to know better, but you refuse it. By the way, nice deleting my rebuttal from your page. If that doesn't show that you fear critique, I don't know what does.
