The 5 commandments of God
« on: July 08, 2005, 06:14:30 pm »
I  YOU SHALL SUFFER, PUNY MORTAL
II  ENJOY YOURSELF, WHILE YOU STILL CAN
III  JUST DON'T GET TOO COMPLACENT
IV  THINK FOR YOURSELF!
V  I NEVER LIKED YOU ANYWAY.[/b]

I don't worship Eris.  She died with her people millenia ago, and to revive her smacks of neo-paganism (ugh).  But the principle is the same.  God shouldn't be trusted to do what you want, just because you've been good.  That leads to a dependence, which leads to expectations, which leads to the inevitable, "Why!!!" when things go wrong.  The real why is, God might not even exist, and if He* does, you'd better not get his attention, cause he's just as likely to kick you in the ass as to pat you on the head and give you a lolly.  
I'm so sick of these people who depend on their God to do all their thinking for them.  They've got a Bible (or whatever) quote for everything, an aphorism to apply to each situation, and a treachant mindset like a groove in titanium steel.  Righteousness replaces thinking.  Why bother thinking for themselves when they've had people to do it for them for thousands of years?  
But enough complaining.  After all, God will sort them out in the end.  If there is a god.  Atheism is boring, though, so I might as well as believe in something.

I proclaim myself the rabid badger of God.  Guard your ankles well.









*Does gender apply to deities?  "God" and "He" are shorter to type than "Goddess" and "She", plus I don't want any of you getting the wrong idea.  I guess I could say It.  Bah.

I welcome the rabid badger of God, and offer my ankles willingly.


Plus, she's cute as hell, which never hurts (unless you ask nicely).

Eris wasn't revived,because chaos never died.  tMal-2 and Omar did update her though. The taoists where discordians,just under a different name.Eris is the "Mysterious Woman of the Valley"written about in the "Tao Te ChingThey had something like taoism in mind,rather then just the usual neo-pagan revivalism.How you veiw the Supreme Multiversal Oneness Is between you and the Supreme Multiversal Oneness.I have aleays had a very intense love affair with Eris.I can match any xtian in having the" fire inside".

Thanks, Horab.  God wouldn't leave me alone last night till I wrote this shit down.

It's all about names, Verthaine.  To me, Eris is Eris, Greek Goddes of Chaos, She what started the Trojan War.  And since neo-pagans are my divine enemies, I won't do anything that faintly resembles their pathetic whinings.  I think the Jews had it right, God's pretty damn inexpressible and shouldn't be named.  Not that it stops me from blaspheming all the time, God damn it.

"God damn it" seems to be more of a request than a blaspheme...

Taking God's name in vain?  Calling upon Him for totally useless shit?  Attracting His attention when you don't really want it?  Sounds pretty blasphemous to me.

A good god would always have time for his or her subjects.  If a god is truly omnipotent then he or she should always have plenty of time for eveything.

Assuming you are wasting a god's time is to underestimate their powers.

At least, that's how I see it.

Didn't I just say God shouldn't be trusted?  Sure, I can pray to Him, if I want to risk getting shouted at.  Or worse.  God should be a last resort, not a means to an end.
