Pope Francis says God invented Internet

[onager]

Well, that settles it. I am no longer an atheist.

I will now spend the rest of the day Googling "porn sites."

And THANKING GOD!

1. Hmm, I guess He invented it so he could matchmake on Christian Mingle.

It all makes perfect sense now!

Here's the GD thread on it:

2. So does this mean

Al Gore is god?

[Rob H.]

3. So Tim Berners-Lee is God?!

And Al Gore is his prophet? I KNEW IT!

4. And I would have expected it to have been the work of he devil.

Look at all the shit that gets stirred up now that we all have access to so much information, whether it is true or false.

5. of course God invented the internet; he also invented...

pedophilia
marijuana
rape
slavery
opium poppies
the Iron Maiden
etc
etc

it's such a lazy, feeble mindset, but it appeals to so many people

6. Anything that is viewed as a good thing

was done by god and he deserves full credit for it.

Anything horrible that happens god had no part in, and the blame is all 100% on us.

New miracle cure-Thank god. Who gives a shit about the Louis Pastuer guy?
Horrible cancer killing children-Junk food's fault.

Just check out some of these people's responses to the quote ""If there is a God then he will have to beg my forgiveness":

i know its from someone that is totally wicked.

Yes. How dare that person experience the greatest horror the world has ever known and question god.

Similarly check out some of these replies to the same quote given in context:

The man who allegedly inscribed that statement was interested in relief from his own suffering, and could not see the big picture of what God was accomplishing for future generations. It was a purely selfish statement.

This was the top rated comment too >.<

Some people make me sick!

Good things only occur because of god and bad only because of us. We can never achieve anything worthwhile on our own but are fully to blame for being the way we were created to be.

7. good post

It's sad to see the pretzel shapes that people contort themselves into based on a misperception and misunderstanding.

8. Wouldn't you love to go through school taking tests like that?

Every answer you get right is counted in your favor. Every wrong answer is not your fault so it doesn't count against you.

You'd get 100% every time.

You'd think a god could handle a higher difficulty level than that, but his followers insist that that's how the scoring should always be done.

9. ThankYou Lord for inventing Free Porn

Wooohooooi

[progressoid]

11. I could easily worship that kitten as my god ...
