God...Lock My Thread!

[StopTheMorans]

*waits*

[StopTheMorans]

1. should I go wander in the desert for 40 years first?

*waits*

[MsAnthropy]

2. He's busy talking to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell

There's probably going to be a bit of a wait.

[StopTheMorans]

3. well i thought he was all-powerful and omniscient?

can't he talk to me too?

[billyskank]

6. Just 'cause He *could* talk to us

doesn't mean He wants to...

[StopTheMorans]

7. i'm not asking him to talk to me, i'm asking him to lock my thread

damn it. and, if he can spend his time talking to *, he can sure as hell waste a couple of minutes on yours truly :D

[billyskank]

12. May be that He doesn't give a coyote's arse about our ramblings

in the DU Lounge either.

As for Him talking personally to *, we only have *'s word for that. I rest my case.

[StopTheMorans]

15. has God been talking to you lately?

sounds like you have the inside track if you know what im saying... ;)

[billyskank]

23. No, complete blank on the God front

He won't answer my emails or nothing. So I'd be a bit annoyed to find that He really has been talking to Dubya, I mean, how would that make you feel?

[StopTheMorans]

24. frankly, it makes me feel like shit

I've been a bad, bad boy, and he has sent nary a lightning bolt my way. i'm calling him out DIRECTLY in front of the whole world (or at least DU), and it's like he doesn't even know he created me :(

[MsAnthropy]

9. HAHAHA good one--or he has Alzheimers and has forgotten we exist.

[MsAnthropy]

8. He's got a lot on his plate, I wouldn't hold my breath

What with * claiming to be his son, the Vatican obsessed with sex, the priests obsessed with sex, the repukes obsessed with sex, and all claiming they are the only ones he's talking to. The poor deity must have a major migraine.

[StopTheMorans]

10. indeed. a question for you: if God started a sex thread in the lounge

could BigMcLargehuge lock it :shrug:

[MsAnthropy]

11. Most definitely! BigMcLargehuge is all-powerful.

[StopTheMorans]

13. but if God made the Universe (including the Lounge) and

BigMcLargehuge, couldn't he prevent the thread from getting locked despite free will (as he could technically control free will if he wished)?

[MsAnthropy]

19. You'll need to rip on Mother Teresa--oh wait, Hitchens already did that

and we know where Hitchens is going as soon as his liver gives out. I can't think of anything to piss God off enough to get his attention that the repukes aren't already doing.

[StopTheMorans]

20. well, i have been using his name in vain a lot lately, and i have a

collection of false idols in my apartment. shouldn't that count for something :shrug:

[NoPasaran]

4. God doesn't moderate the Lounge

BigMcLargeHuge doesn't create heaven and earth

[StopTheMorans]

5. I'm not asking BigMcLargehuge; isn't God supposed to moderate

the Universe? and if so, wouldn't that give him jurisdiction over this thread :shrug:

[NoPasaran]

14. God knows how to delegate

Hence, the admins and mods

[StopTheMorans]

17. but, God is ultimately responsible for what the admins and mods do

and, don't forget, he's omniscient (all-seeing). Do you think that he creates his own lighting-bolts, or does he outsource that?

[NoPasaran]

25. Where God went wrong, IMHO

Was getting all caught up in that wishy-washy bleeding-heart "free will" nonsense. Hence the sad state of the world in general and the shocking failure of this the mods to lock this thread.

Thunderbolts? OEM'd from Thor.

[Lavender Brown]

16. God is too busy talking to the president to deal with you right now.

:eyes:

[StopTheMorans]

18. oh. should i talk to God when the "president" is sleeping?

:shrug:

[Lavender Brown]

21. No, his schedule is packed today

Maybe he can squeeze you in after his 4:30 with Mel Gibson.

[StopTheMorans]

22. can i at least get a conference call with the Holy Spirit?
