Take what you will from it, if nothing else, it's mildly entertaining.

hmm interesting but really not believable, hell...i could write a conversation that I had with god and it would be just as believable. but i really really really like the comparison with ants to people...it shows how god could let people suffer the way he does and still exist...it just shows how people think of ourselves as most important when really maybe we arent? maybe to god we are just another species that isnt even very important.

well i am not sure I believe that but he does a good job expressing the idea that I always, ALWAYS bring up when NS talks about god... that a 'higher being' is not in any way required to be supernatural, as most people tend to assume must be the case.

i thought that was an interesting read. even if its fake, which is almost a definite fact, it gives people a good idea of the challenges that the human race faces in the future with the development of our society. i enjoyed it, especially since god seemed chill and shit, not all 'bow down and suck my nuts'.

No doubt in my mind that the article is fake, the authors' purpose was merely to attempt to explain how God exists, and yet allows for all the suffering on Earth to continue, and why he never intervenes. Interesting read.

500th post!

"Fake" or not, it's still a pretty cool philosophy for the writer to develop. He's definatly got a good head on his shoulders coming up with the whole annalysis of society.

im pretty skeptical. it would be incredibly easy for someone to just make that entire thing up, but if that really did happen... thats incredible.

i dont understand why an atheist would make up a story proving the existence of god
he seems like a serious believer in darwinism and atheism
i just dont know if he'd benefit from somethign like this
why spend the time to write something that in-depth if it only disproves your own beliefs
it all kinda makes sense
so it seems believable

That's a good point there. If he's atheist, then why the heck would he do that? Even if he's NOT atheist,  and he does believe in God, then why would he bother to write that article when it says that he's atheist? It's actually pretty believable now.

it also said how this "god" was entirely natural, and had evolved into what he was (he derived from the text, could be a girl but whatever...). he seemed to have created this universe because he reached that "stage"

if that makes it anymore, well, "less confusing"

good point
still, why argue with your own opinion
he also fits the mold for a pretty un-biased opinion about god
if he had any bias, it's be against god in general
it seems too convenient and well-written to be fake

i've watched and read a ton of stuff like this
but this really affected the way i think

HOW WOULD HE REMEMBER ALL OF THAT WORD FOR WORD?

Its complete nonsense...using an atheist that "non believers" could comfortably associate with while reading the article.

"But I was on a train and not even wearing my Darwin "Evolve" tshirt that day." ok just stop right there haha, so stupid.

propaganda.
