Christians are so funny lmao "imagine you're a bee in a farm and the beekeeper was god"
The bees can see the beekeeper Colin. This is a terrible analogy.

This analogy also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of god lol.
God is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient and somehow existing outside of time and space. Like nothing is supposed to happen unless god wills it. The bee keeper can’t keep track of everything happening to every bee and just adjust things with less than a thought.
This just sounds like an excuse to not help me fix my relationship with my bee wife.
People in the comments: wow the ethical and theological implications are overwhelming
Me: hehe doggo
Came here to discuss dog with a propeller hat.
Where did he get it? What does he propel with it? Can I please pet?
If men are bees and God is the beekeeper then it logically follows that God has a cousin Earl who drives the heavenly equivalent of an old pickup truck and smokes meth.
Who tf do you think Samael was? God kicked him out of the farm because he was making the bees crazy.
Earl's not evil. He's not even interested in the bees. That's why God only talks about Samael, one of his kids from his ex wife.
I just had the feeling the entire of existence is just a very convoluted random number generator that got far too out of hand
An omnipotent god that can't sin? Hmmm?
Hmm... there was something about a deluge, murdering of Egyptians, a big building collapse and some saline statues. But who throws the first stone.
All totally justified, therefore not sins. Apparently.
I was aiming for theodicy.
Isn’t this the lore of the DOOM reboot?
There's LORE??!?
Yeah basically. God created angels to develop and manage a power plant, and he created demons to work the power plant. The power plant processes human souls.
Glad to know im helping going to parties, using drugs, and kissing people other than my wife 🙏
god farming us for our fears is the premise of the Magnus archives. 💯 Recommend listening
...So that's why there's so many catholic priests
God sins plenty though.
When God does it, that means it is not sin. Obvs.
God: Calling them cruel names while they literally bend over backwards to please you? That’s going into the book.
if god existed he already sinned by creating humans
chuckles to himself
Dog has funi hat.
If there are higher being and souls are real we're probably a soul farm for their sustenance.
