What's always been unsettling for me? I can't find comfort in their myth! A god who can wiggle a finger & end all suffering, but instead stealthily monitors believers & unbelievers so as to know who to punish or reward eternally? Yikes! I'm supposed to ride THAT to the grave?🤔

Well, then, don't ride that pony. There are so many other various and sundry religions and cults from which to choose in the ever burgeoning spiritual marketplace.

When I bitch about the Bible, of course I'm including the guys who got the ball rolling. Jesus was a Jew, who said, "I came to fulfill the Law, not to abolish it," or words to that effect. He argued with Pharisees but they were all selling the same stuff: ONE big uncontested BOSS

Well, then, you're just shit out of luck, my friend. Hahaha! You can always join with me in the Cult of Silenus, the ancient Greek god who was drunk all of the time & preached antinatalism. I think the guy was right on the money.

The god I worship is the ancient Greek god, Silenus, who was drunk all of the time & said it's better never to have been but since you can't do that, the second best is to die as soon as possible. [4th century B.C. lekythos from Sicily]
