Total obliteration seems more merciful than the eternal torment promised by Christianity.
Zozozozozozozo
Honestly, given the available evidence, this is just as likely an outcome as any other.
this is the source of a lot of my existential dread. I can’t logically refute it, at most I can acknowledge it’s pointless for me to worry about, but I can’t stop myself from worrying about maltheism.
That’s one of the reasons I like 40k. “God is real and he hates us” is a central theme. Sure it’s edgelord material but its also a fun thought experiment. For me. I can see why it would upset you though.
check out the demiurge if you’ve never read about it
Oh yeah I read a bunch of Gnostic texts in my younger days. Interesting stuff.
Any supposed supreme deity who hinges the eternal fate of their own supposed creations on a wild ass guess isn’t one that is worthy of worship, adoration, or even basic respect. If a being with the sum total knowledge and foresight of literally everything can’t devise a better system that any random ass person off the street, I wouldn’t worry about it.
They either don’t exist at all, or they do and everyone is fucked because we exist in the playground of omnipotent super beings that are somehow also absurdly stupid. One of those outcomes is more likely than the other. I think you know which one it is.
Doug Forcett got it 92% correct.
So who do non-believers like me meet?
Bad people instead suffer eternal tinnitus I guess.
In this scenario, some random ass folk deity. In all likelihood, nothing. Because there would no longer be a “you” and there was never “a thing to meet.”
“Wait so I’m being judged for being too meta?”
“It’s not a sin, but I will judge you for it.”
“Some shitty little middle management bitch is going to judge me?”
“…Fuck you, die.” Zaps into oblivion
And then you miss Oblivion and wake up on a cart.
“I’m afraid it was the MORmons. Yes, the MORmons were the correct answer.” –The Director of Hell (Southpark)
That’s the first place my mind went, as well.
What’s hilarious is that in another episode, Satan asked God to accept Saddam Hussein into heaven so he could know true eternal torment living with the Mormons.
Zororo hasn’t stopped the souls coming in to obliterate.
Must be the highlight of it’s day.Nah, he just thinks the sins of the father pass to the son and he’s a bit salty about why the tribe went extinct.
A Short Stay In Hell
Short novella based on this exact premise. If you have never encountered it before, I urge you to give it a read. It’s excellent. Also very disturbing.
This is why Benny is my role model on religion.
Pretty much the reverse of this:
Probably they would’ve killed him for being heretic and meet god again in a short time.
again? oy! this time I’ll give you an invincibility cooldown.
What’s this from?
Oglaf (potentially NSFW).
Thank you I recognized the style but for the life of me could not remember the name.
“potentially” lol
“Frequently, but not always.”
That link shows the latest comic, and they’re not all NSFW.
I know. I’ve read them all. I just thought “potentially” was slightly understating the probability of a NSFW Oglaf comic, and it made me chuckle.
In my experience, more of them are SFW than not. But when they are NSFW, they’re REALLY NSFW.
You were expecting the storm god of the Sinai desert, maybe?
Al hail the great ZORORO
May they blast me into sweet oblivion of nothingness as soon as I die, existence isn’t for me.
Well, he gave his best shot. Next time he might try a more rigorous vetting system rather than just picking the most popular one in his home town.
