ForTheLoveOfAll

March 03, 2011, 02:40:00 PM
I was listening to a lecture by Alan Watts yesterday, and he played an interesting game with those listening to him. He said

"Let us suppose that I am the patient, and you are the student and the doctors. And I suffer from what you would call the delusion that I'm god. And therefore, you might want to do something about me or with me, or humor me or ask me questions. And so I'm perfectly willing to submit to your examination or to your treatment, and I invite you to help yourself."

I thought it would be interesting to try this out here. Every day for awhile we'll pick someone else to be god the next day.

So, I am now god. For today, at least. Ask me a question, or questions, and say who you want to be god tomorrow.  ;)
A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.
-Carl Sagan

I loved when Bush came out and said, "We are losing the war against drugs." You know what that implies? There's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it.

You don't really listen to heavy metal non stop do you?
Na, we know the interposing of the hard with the folky ballad adds power, but the youngens round here don't get it.
Should we smite the misguided youth or drug them into submission?

Alas, my child. Do you still question whether or not I listen to heavy metal constantly? Did I not send to thee' prophets which told of my musical tastes? I know none of them personally came to you, but still, you SHOULD know.

Easy pal, I'll do the smiting around here. After all, I can kill people at my leisure without being immoral, you cannot.

If the youngsters are being troublesome, delete their Facebooks and destroy their cell phones. As for drugging them, they have already been drugged by the world you all live in.

Why are you, Pudding, worshiping something you created?
The world's what you create.

I'd just like a straight unequivocal answer to the question...........WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

Your answer will be a factor in my decision to respond further or not.

Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.

It's due to comments such as this that you are at the top of the To Be Smote List.

I suppose ForTheLoveOfAll is for a few hours more.
Do you have any enticements to offer us for deifying you?

Hey god, apparently you like sacrificial offerings. Because I like animals and my fellow humans, I was wondering if you also accept Mars Bars, kit Kats or Snickers? I'm on a diet right now so I have a few spare comestibles lying around.

Hopefully that'll be ok. If not, I'm sure I can go out and find some roadkill.
QuoteI find it mistifying that in this age of information, some people still deny the scientific history of our existence.

Yes, but none I could post on the internet.

Inappropriate for the internet?  They must be very special enticements.

Should the new god eat the old one's heart, or something?

If you haven't noticed, I'm being totally silent on all matters here. Every day is a Sunday to me, so I'll be resting for a few more thousand years. (Even though I said I'd be returning shortly.)

As I said, did I not leave you all prophets? Are they not good enough for you? DId I not make it absolutely clear 5,000 years ago how I liked my baby sheep cut open and my old candy bars wrapped in linen cloth and fed to young virgins?

You feeble humans never listen. I hereby pronounce The Magic Pudding the new god, since he pleased me the most due to his threats of smiting.  :bananacolor:

Pudding's ritual to become a deity will involve mass murder of every person who denies him being the real deity and quietly whispering into the ears of men who nobody has ever heard of that they are now the voice of god, and that they should wear funny hats.

You would feel so guilty if I have a heart attack tomorrow.
