Stephen Fry was once asked what he would say if, after death, he found himself trying to justify himself to God in front of the Pearly Gates. His response:

"Bone cancer, in babies? Seriously?"

Remember the time he had to have everyone paint blood on their doors so he knew which babies to kill.

Front page news story today about an 8 year old boy with a brain tumour suffering from partial paralysis and seizures.

Thanks God.

I learned a long time ago that any god that does exist doesn't care about our suffering, doesn't love us, and is at best indifferent to us.

Available options include:

Believing in an evil god.
Not believing in anything beyond physical reality.
Not paying attention to reality and believing whatever delusion you feel like.

Most people choose option 3.

Weeelllll.... God does like to kill kids after all so he's probably having a ball watching all this go down!

Psalms 137:9 - Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

1 Samuel 15:3 - Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Exodus 12:29 - And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

Sorry, He is too busy helping athletes win in sports to care about some tiny little conflict.

God needs an ass whooping.

I’m functionally an atheist. I certainly have a disdain for religious orgs.

I’d accept the argument that this, in fact, a test. If so, religious people are failing it.

Have no fear, I am now here!

I demanded an immediate cease fire.

Let me know if that worked? Send info via prayer since my cloud WiFi is sort of lame.

That implies that "God", whatever that means, actually cares about hairless apes on a (quite likely) unremarkable rock.

It's always been innocent children's lives. Cancer, sexual abuse, war crimes, starvation, the Church TM. It's always been their lives and he's never stepped in before. But maybe the land is more important to him. Oh wait... People have been fighting over it for thousands of years you say? Well then.

"Why the goat buggering fuck are you fighting over the desert? I put green stuff everywhere for you to live in. What do you mean you chopped it down? Why are you digging that stuff up and burning it? I buried it for a reason! Fuck this, where'd I put that flood machine?"

Hot take the planet is ours not his

Aliens land, give us free energy and split would do it. That would put the wrinkle on so many evils that are funded by energy and pollution.

So mysterious

It's the promised land of the old covenant, which was broken

God has made their decision and the Chosen people who have the nuclear warheads are the ones selected.

God is dead, Israel killed him

I see Lemmy atheists haven't moved beyond having cringe takes about middle eastern conflicts, Hitchens would be proud. This post is not only tone deaf but shows little understanding of the conflict.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't know much about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict if you think it's about religion.
