Venting My belief in God.

[Nature_is_God]

My God is a sadist although not Satan. It inflicts suffering and pain on every single sentient being on Earth through a survival instinct. It gave humans a consciousness to recognize this suffering and end it by any means necessary. It laughs every second we suffer but are too stubborn to end our lives. After all the quickest solution to suffering is death. It doesn't provide us with an afterlife, heaven or hell, because we are way too insignificant for that. This is my God.

So in other words Spinoza's God. To me, if it isn't a bearded man in the clouds that's all-powerful and omniscient, I don't call it "god."

My God is a sadist

We are in one level of hell. That much is clear to me. Pain and suffering seems to be the common denominator of everything. Our job is to find the way out. So maybe having this chance is God's way of showing us mercy. Because there is a way out. Detachment from everything. Let it all go. After you die do not miss any part of this. Accept that it's done and over with forever.

Agreed.
if I ever see God, I'll kick him in the balls as hard as I can for all that pain and suffering I'm going through.

Okay but what if he doesn't have a beard
Maybe he's a young deity and this is his disastrous science fair project. I would say don't go too hard on him but then *looks around at this shit* nah nevermind.

So I had this amazing idea. My reality obviously blows and isn't going to get good marks so I thought I'd use PAIN and FEAR to keep them all here and force them to pretend to be happy! It won't hold up against close scrutiny but God Sr. isn't paying that much attention anyway, it'll be enough for the ten seconds he spends glancing at my universe.

Don't smite me bro, just telling it like it is.

I agree attachment can cause suffering such as psychological or emotional, but how do you practice detachment from physical suffering, detachment involves forgetting or realising it's not worth it, but you won't be able to forget physical because it's there all the time reminding you that it exists.

i'm no expert, but i've learned we are all just a collection of carbon atoms and electrical impulses.
while we are alive, we have potential to access and interact with all sorts of things in this world: events, phenomena, feelings, luck, weather, education, money, astronomy, astrology, religion, sprituality, math, science, and the list could go on and on.
right now, in the land of the living, we are plugged in to all of that.
yes, god exists in this world if you believe it. but i don't.
i believe, man created god, to explain things that we didn't understand, like the universe and everything in it.
but just like when a lamp goes out when it's unplugged, I think so do we when we get unplugged from life.
nonexistance.
