Atheists & Agnostics
Related: About this forumYou are God. You get the following prayers at the same time. Which one do you answer
I mean, let's be honest. God probably get at least more than 10 prayer requests an hour (I can't even get through to my local radio station's Lunch Request Line at lunch ((I have a bunch of songs that I'd like them to play to get me through my day)) and they boast that they have 4 lines coming in. I'm going to guess that God is more popular than the station that plays the Greatest Hits of the 80's, 90's and Today).
If you were God, and got the following prayer requests ALL at once, which would take priority for you? Maybe this comes more naturally to people like me...people who are gifted at seeing patterns. Also, you may not know this but I'm a nurse, so I'm used to triaging people and prioritizing their whiny-ass needs.
So, good atheists...you're god. Which prayer gets answered first?

it makes no sense. Like God was going to strike her dead and was like "Whoops...nevermind, Margaret just forbid me to do anything....."

I went with what I saw as the most superficial, because if I'm god, why the hell not?
Don't fuck with me. I'm god, dammit!

(18,312 posts)When I was growing up, I thought this was like documentary filmmaking
I never realized Hee Haw had such high production values..... seriously.
Nah.... we were the Country Club set. Couldn't be caught watching Hee Haw..... even tho' my parents loved it. Our household was more like the Hubards and the Giddens in "The Little Foxes".....with more football and alcoholism.

(9,356 posts)"Satan's River," Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton.
Best Dolly Parton quote ever, in an old interview with Rolling Stone magazine: "If I ever had a cherry, it got shoved so far back I could use it for a tail-light."
Since I just re-located to the South, I discovered the RFD cable channel. It runs those old Porter Wagoner shows. I recently caught one with Dolly Parton's first TV appearance ever. Singing her first hit "Dumb Blonde."
Which reminds me of another great Parton quote. Interviewer: "Does it bother you when people call you a dumb blonde?" Parton: "No. I'm not a blonde."

(48,181 posts)It has Laser Focus Omnipotence. Anything anywhere but only one focus at any moment As we all know prayers expire from moment to moment. That's how God works. It explains why miracles are so pathetic: poor shot selection.

Otherwise, I'd likely smite you verses answer another pitiful request to save Jimmy from that well.

nil desperandum
(654 posts)as god my followers need to understand that not all prayers get answered, in fact most of their prayers will get zero response. It will create confusion about my master plan for my creations requiring them to accept poor outcomes while retaining faith there is a master plan for their lives.
The reality of course is that there is no plan, as god I have a lot of godly projects underway and the trifles of day to day living hardly ever interfere with my larger plans for the remainder of the heavens.

(3,747 posts)They are everywhere in Seattle. It is an onslaught of flags, stickers, streamers, banners, posters, advertisements, merchandise, and an exhibit at the EMP. During game season, a lot of the fans range from mildly annoying to bordering on harassment. These people have another religion as well. I'd argue many worship it even more than their professed belief.
So, if I was God, I reward my most sincere followers. But I'm a kind and loving God; since I am the entire universe, I figure any worship to anything is basically worship to me--benefit of the doubt, right? The details are off, but then again, no one's really quite managed to explain my existence anyways.
This is why I tend to reward narcissists and sociopaths in the world. They worship themselves. But these guys go hard...you should see the tailgaiters. I grant them their request.
