God: Larry, there is something I need to tell you.
Larry: Well what is it god? I'm all ears!
God: Well, you see Larry, I sort of have this problem.
Larry: But your God! You can do everything! What sort of problem could you have?
God: Well, Larry, you see, I can't... I just can't forgive people!
Larry: Wait, you can't forgive people? I mean I know it can be hard sometimes, but you just can't forgive?
God: Hey, Don't judge me! I have to see fat people having sex every day! You don't know what it's like!
Larry: Well, ok. But what do we do about it?
God: Well, I have this plan. I'm going to send myseld down to earth, as my son, and do all sorts of magic untill people beleive in me!
Larry: Ok, but how will that help. Lots of people already beleive in you.
God: Wait, here's the good part. I piss of the Romans, and they kill me, and then a few days later I get back up and come here to hang out with me!
Larry: And that will help you forgive people?
God: Fuck no, it's just a fun way to pass time.

Thanks Max, that was funny :)

Me, I've got a passage from Iain Banks' Transition:
Quote
Infinities within infinities within infinities...
The human brain quails when confronted with such proliferating
vastness. We think we have a grasp of it, brandishing our
numbers - natural, rational, complex, real, unreal - in the face of
all that's inestimable, but truthfully these resources are mere
talismans, not practical tools. A comfort; no more.

The best part about that Mark Twain quote is how it makes the parents of criminals to be the criminals and not their children. It's the perfect philosophy for this age.

Also, sex is so sinful that the fact that there is an entire book dedicated to it in the Bible must be a huge disappointment to him, huh?

If they're young children, then this is actually the case.

True. At a certain point, you lose control, and therefore responsibility.

Would an omnipotent and omnipresent deity ever 'lose control' of anything?

Apparently having a redundant creature entry causes the game to say, "Oh, look, it's crazy world now. Nothing makes sense! Alligators live in houses!"

Or by choice. I could keep controlling my children even after they grow up, but that's generally seen as unhealthy.

So is killing everybody in your street by flooding them out, and then when you see there dead bodys floating around feeling bad, so you paint a flag with many colours to say your sorry and it will not happen again.

Then it's just a really bad analogy.

And you don't know what would've happened if that had not happened. Taking a random biblical example to "show" that God is evil (a popular hobby around here  ::)) doesn't really add to the current point: Are you responsible for your children, and if so, is God responsible for what we do?

Not saying god is evil, just bipoler. One moment he is all wrath and killing with floods, and next he is all love, and only drowing Egyptians.
