ParticipantJob, suffering unjustly after G-d makes a bet with the devil, asks Him, “what the fuck man?”
the creator replies…
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2 “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Dress for action[a] like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
9 when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
10 and prescribed limits for it
and set bars and doors,
11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14 It is changed like clay under the seal,
and its features stand out like a garment.
15 From the wicked their light is withheld,
and their uplifted arm is broken.16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
and where is the place of darkness,
20 that you may take it to its territory
and that you may discern the paths to its home?
21 You know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great!22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?
24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?25 “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
and a way for the thunderbolt,
26 to bring rain on a land where no man is,
on the desert in which there is no man,
27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
and to make the ground sprout with grass?28 “Has the rain a father,
or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
30 The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion?
32 Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth[b] in their season,
or can you guide the Bear with its children?
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth?34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that a flood of waters may cover you?
35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts[c]
or given understanding to the mind?[d]
37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
38 when the dust runs into a mass
and the clods stick fast together?39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40 when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in their thicket?
41 Who provides for the raven its prey,
when its young ones cry to God for help,
and wander about for lack of food.scaredyclassic
ParticipantI disagree that we are breathing. there’s no actual breathing going on. just a series of data that to us feels as if we are breathing. there is no last breath, because there is no breath.
Not Of This World, baby

Participantit is not irritating to deal with someone who believes in something supernatural.
It is irritating to deal with someone who believes the specific supernatural power they believe in is an actual umpire of morality here on our planet. A cosmic umpire calling balls and strikes here on earth. Earthlings who claim direct knowledge of the ump’s calls, say for instance in deciding Presidential elections, or issues of morality, or whether the 10 commandments from their personal delusional system should be posted on courthouse walls. or who believes if specific prayers are said for him, he will get a better result than some poor but more worthy slob who has no team of praying people on his side, are just, well, stupid sounding to me.
that doesn’t mean that any of this existence is “real”.
I have a personal delusional system of the times which i am 80 percent sure is true. I do believe in supernatural powers. I am fairly confident that there is no physical reality to life here or anywhere in the universe.
I actually believe that we are not physically anywhere, that us and everything we see around is as a complex video game programmed by some superpowerful alien force (I call them the Gamers Of Doom, or G.O.D. for short). G.O.D. has no particular interest in how we behave in the game, but for them, this self running video game, in which time appears to unfold, in which they do not intercede, provides entertainment for G.O.D. to watch.
Earth, and our universe, is not the only program running, obviously,since any one program would get dull. there are infinite numbers of programs of universes running.
The G.O.D. needs to see things, because basically G.O.D. is the ultimate netflix bing watching couch creator and surfer, but it is absurd to think that we should ‘worship” our G.O.D. programmer. G.O.D. not care about us in particular. we are just something that blips across G.O.D.’s infinite cosmic screens.
G.O.D. might possibly for a moment watch us go to Church and pray fervently , but with no more or less interest than watching a massacre in rwanda or an avian flu epidemic or a baseball game. in fact, there are so many universes to watch that he probably would miss our entire existence here on earth, given how short our entire show is.
any purpose we ascribe to G.O.D., other than the fact that we are part of a random program of evolution designed into an unreal system, is just part of the way we evolved to find meaning and patterns where there is none, and to control the other modules/people in our particular games.
there is no afterlife in the game, when your character dies, a scarcely perceptible chaarcter, that is it. you are of no more consequences than an ant. You never were real, even though you really felt like you were an actual creature with actual physicality and thoughts. all that was just part of the program. however, if G.O.D. chose to, he could revive yoru character to play again, or put it in a new module called “heaven”, or Hell”. but this seems unlikely. this module, “earth”, is the only game we know, and the evidnece that the prmise of a new game in heaven is justa c reation of characters here in our game to control other characters, is, for me at least, overwhelming, although i concede i know and understand nothing as compared to the Mighty G.O.D. I bow down before their awesome programming skill.
indeed, there are so many games running silently, that the universe in which the earth is located might on be notice by G.O.D. for a nanosecond once every quadrillion million to the millionth degree years, which is to say, probably never during the existence of our universe. we are a program no one ever turned into, in all likelihood.
to think otherwise, that G.O.D. is personally involved in the goings on here, is a ‘fan” of our particular show, is just crazy. there is no evidence that the G.O.D. cares about us, or that there is any kind of “justice” programmed into the game, other than our repeated assertions that G.O.D. cares.
For a character in a game to pray or appeal to the creator of its game is frankly, kind of funny. The evidence is overwhelming that we are alone here to our own devices on earth. I say this because no interested supernatural caring creator could stand by and allow suffering to innocents, in my opinion. No view of life, other than mine, the G.O.D. view, better explains the meaningless randomless uniustness of suffering here on “earth”. I alone have summed it up.
I cannot prove any of this but it feels true to me.
I do believe in G.O.D. but only in the sense that i am so infinitely miniscule that i could not begin to comprehend the design meaning or purpose of any of his games.
No moral G.O.D. could inflict so much suffering on so many innocents for any other purpose other than sheer entertainment. and while It is silly to “worship” a G.O.D., who clearly cares not for our suffering, it is reasonable to admire their vast programming skills and workmanship.
the detail in our game, in our consciousness, in our existences such as they are, is just so incredible and “real” appearing. Frankly, this game is so much better than any of our games, so real seeming, that its own characters have consciousness, and are so complex, that our own games, and thoughts and rules are mere nothings, children playing with rocks and sticks. our primitive video games and belief systems are as nothing compared to the programming of g.O.D., who out of nothing, created just a wondersul, incredible fake world for no reaosn other than for kicks. bravo!
Obviously as well my version of “reality” is no more, or less proveable, than judaism, or christianity, but it definitely feels more real as an explanation of who and what we are, at least in explaining suffering on earth.
It’s pretty clear that the video game we inhabit did not create itself but its also clear that it s creators are not peeople who “care” for their characters.
if you care to join my church of G.O.D., please feel free to admire the game, and if you feel compelled to express your admiration by sending me money to help spread the word about the truth of it all, that would be appreciated.
the cool thing about my explanation of the game is that it wont change at all anything you ever do. simply because youa re unreal, you will still behave in a reasonable manner, since you willw ant to succeed in the game as your character in your place nad your time. The unreality of it all wont affect your behavior in any negative way, as say, many religions will…it wont matter to you whether other people beleieve what you know to be the truth of our reality, since everyones just programmed to do what they’re gonna do anyway. you still wont want these characters with false delusions getting in your personal business, since it makes your characters life less fun to be dominated by aggressive othr characters with crazy beliefs, as all religions seem to want to do at certain places and times int heir developments.
I am willing to go to any church whose first and final statement on our situation is, “woah, dude this is a mysterious game”. anything beyond that, any “you should therefores,’ are just frittering away game time.
perhaps the creation of a such a place of “worship” would please G.o.D. and they might tune in to our universe more often. or perhaps my revelation of the truth of the G.O.D. will displease them. but i believe they will never ever notice my character, any more than you will notice any specific ant deep within the ground in say, egypt, fervently doing his ant business on this beautiful sunday morning.

Participantwhat about vaping. technically vaping does not involve combustion and no smoke is produced. it heats the herb up to a,point below combustion but sufficient to release thc in a vapor form.
