I like “Jesus Christ on a pogo stick!”

I think the concept of such an entity being incomprehensible is baked into the idea of religion, or at least Christianity, which is the only religion that I have any actual experience with.

How can you be so sure this entity doesn’t look at every individual and each of their actions and make a judgement on them? The concept of omnipotence and omniscience are themselves incomprehensible to us.

The idea that we don’t know God’s motives is part of why people follow blindly, despite the pain and joy of existence

I’m pretty sure you’re kidding, but I downvoted just in case you’re not

This is so infuriatingly disingenuous that I’m having trouble putting into words an intelligent response.

I would need to triple my income to approach 6 figures. Making that much money may not fundamentally change the way I live my life but it would almost entirely remove my primary stressors. I could afford actual healthcare, I wouldn’t have to worry about whether or not my landlord is going to raise my rent to a point where I can no longer afford my home. I could actually save money so that if/when something happens to me I’m not completely fucked over night

A brewery in Texas does an oat lager that’s pretty fantastic. Not super far out there flavor wise but I had never even considered putting oats in a lager so it was pretty interesting to me.
