Some of God's greatest mistakes

Post Category: humour, lighter vein, take-it-easy-dont-abuse-me-later

I haven't been able to procure a copy of the original book with this title, available on Alpha Centauri (while us humans have managed to go only till the moon; which we can see everynight, so i dont know what the big deal is). But I am sure these are the points it broadly covers.

Say you were God and this was the beginning of time. You have an obscenely large repository of powers and skills and could do almost anything to the universe, that pleased you. What would you do? Well, what did our God do...
He started off by creating huge star systems, and then planets, and then life on one (or more) of them. Additionally, he also took up the responsibility of scripting the story of each life-form he creates. When the life-forms don't stick to the script, he also has to punish them, from time-to-time. When they ask for something, he has to deliberate on whether they deserve it or not. When they argue over who he really is or what he is actually up to these days...well then he just lets them continue fighting.
Overall I'd call this a below average choice. Whats his idea? Why all the trouble to create a set of things which aren't sure why they exist or what their creator looks like?

And that's his other big mistake. He made a lot of things very quickly and forgot to supply basic information before throwing them callously onto various planets. Nobody knows what he looks like. Is he a he? Nobody knows. Are there more than one of his kind around? There are so many things that these creatures don't know. They are sure someone or something made them. And thats about it. Even this much, they believe because they cant digest the idea of having come into existence just like that....a highly improbable chemical reaction.
It is more probable that they are merely this God person's bad idea of passing time.

...to be contd.

arrey what r u saying yaar,
had he told his and our metamorphosis in a step by step procedure (as u put it), he would not have been god

they say he is paramount, no questions, accept it, or not, he rules, it does not matter u/i believe it or not, generations may pass with ppl not believing in him, he does not say anyone to believe him, but he rules, nature rules, things will happen as he wishes

n that is what

it is u who is saying he made mistakes

nonetheless i agree that since these r ur thoughts n since each has got his right to speech n expression as per the constitution, i respect ur thoughts....but u r not in a position to argue against him since there r many other things going on his mind ...may be he is doing everything which is wrong and fallacious at present...but might lead to a new world 12345678 years hence...
arguing against him does not make sense since u will face discussions with ur own species...not with god

while i wrote the thing for fun, i must say i have a big problem with this:
"dont ask any questions. God rules. God exists. whether u believe it or not."

How ridiculous is that? If no ever questioned it (or was allowed to) how do we know its true?

And I am not an atheist. Maybe an agnostic. But I certainly need more than "blind faith" to buy the 'God argument'.

lol...funny post..

I can see the point you are trying to make though...
Im agnostic to a certain extent too and sometimes I do wonder why God has made things the way he has done....

Im not saying that I could do it better than Him...and maybe there might be reasons that havent really occured to me as yet...

There is absolutely no harm in talking about it and questioning his ways...because if he has put us here with no evident reason...then he wants us to question...
