It's cold out there. Not the temperature silly, although depending on where you're at it could be...
Nah, what I meant was in a more eternal scope.
No, think about it... For example, there is a bunch of talk by many concerning a higher power like a god and it's love or compassion or whatever. First off, this is very escapist and second it is beyond ridiculous.
Let's set up a comparison of scale to illustrate how absurd this is.
Squirrels.
I like squirrels, so let's use one of them. A human's idea of a god with feelings, it reasonably comparable to a squirrel in the park regarding the wino seated upon bench, and the bread crumbs he throws, as appearing as whatever a squirrel's diminished capacity for "feelings" like love might be.
O.k. let's pull this apart, now. Disregarding the dimensional shift that separates man from a god, the gap between a man's and a god's consciousness could be understood by comparing the gap in a squirrel's consciousness to that of some of the human race's most brilliant minds...
A squirrel cannot even conceive the vastness of the human experience, and could only demean it's existence by attempting to describe it in its own limited vocabulary of how it understands the world in which it lives...
...Kind of like ascribing human attributes such as love, or will, or vengeance, or compassion to a force akin to a god.
A god "cares" as much about you as you do for a squirrel.
So for the love of god, stop with this biblical nonsense! Think about what these people are saying and how contradictory it is...
So if you feel compelled to buy into an argument that you should or shouldn't do something simply because of what a god may or may not "want" of you...
Remember the wino on the park bench and the squirrels that surround him.
