There should be a God
Not anthropomorphic, no.
Not in the fashion of Allah or Jehovah; evil.
A real cosmic Friend.
Religion wouldn’t be necessary.
No atheism, either.
Heaven on Earth.
Would we ever be able to create one like that?

eww.
Why? Why oh why?
Well, since every other god was created by people, I don't see a huge problem with your idea. Have you considered being a Unitarian? They can worship their own shoes if that suits them to do so.

At least then we'd have someone to blame.
"Where's the steak I was saving for dinner tonight?" "Cat ate it."
Works just fine.
Everyone already had created their own god, it's their own convenience. God is just whatever is convenient.
I would like to create the god of one's own pleasure above all else.
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
Cats are a major source of evil in the world.
That's why I have three of the buggers.
How can not believing in something that is backed up with no empirical evidence be less scientific than believing in something that not only has no empirical evidence but actually goes against the laws of the universe and in many cases actually contradicts itself? - Ricky Gervais
I would like to know the truth about what's going on but to be honest I doubt I would actually be able to understand it.

I've got six cats that I've rescued from various places. I think cats are interesting as hell, I admire all the little domestic cat breeds and even up to the quarter ton specimens that are big enough to kill a horse. I especially like jaguars, Bengal tigers, and clouded leopards.
I was a cat person until I moved in with my boyfriend and his two cats that weigh 20 lbs each. When they poop, we can smell the litter box from across the apartment.
I don't disagree with you, julio. If there were a God and if he cared about us at all then life would be great because he'd have made it that way. But such as it is we just have to do what we can with what we have. And that's kind of better anyway, really, because it's satisfying to know that what you make of life is truly yours and nobody else's.
Does that make sense?
I'm still waiting for someone to invent a God whose only commandment is "Pay no attention to me." I would help spread that religion.
Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

Anyone else watch the Venture Bros? That just made me think of the episode where an alien comes to visit Dr. Venture and he's this giant dude wearing a cloak and some kind of flashy helmet and he spends the entire episode screaming "IGNOOOORE MEEEE!" to everyone. Hahahaha I love that show.

I'll have to try that, thanks! I'm the one that does the pet food shopping anyway. Jon just gets whatever's cheapest...
But nice gods don't cement power, and they sure don't do much for controlling behaviors. So, daddy and mommy gods showed up and eventually mutated into really nasty gods who liked to make you horny but would punish you if you had sex.
Screw gods. Let's just worship chocolate.
Oh, and cats. (My cat said to include him.)
Your cat should grow fingers and make his own account so he can post here for himself.
I'd be more likely to worship him if he did. You can tell him that.
Why should there be a god? what god arrived here to molest us emotionally? I don't get what your talking about, as far as I can tell there are no gods at all.
Sure. But only as far as you can tell, period. There were gods on Earth once. [As far as I can tell... ah!] They eventually gave up sorting us out; we were undomesticatable. Only a very nice one would help us domesticate ourselves. Period.
I hope you're not talking about those mastodon shinbones they find under the alters of greek temples - the bones that convinced the greeks 'titans' once lived on earth.

I said that I thought being reliant on control over another was a bad idea, what if one day I chose not to feed him? He doesn't have the opposable thumb necessary to get into the canned food.
He said that he's just crap on my pillow and in my slippers.
He's such a punitive little furry god.
what evidence do you have again julio?
[edit] or is this more from your everything is crap post and just want there to be gods to blame for all the crappiness you see?
I don't know about this "There were gods on Earth once." Can you elaborate or show some references?

The Annunaki.
http://www.hiddencodes.com/annunaki.htm
Oh, that's from Genesis, which is in the Bible. I don't take the Bible as fact so I disagree that there were gods or is god. Personal accountability still stands stronger than an outside force(for me). Bad things happen, yes, but good things happen too. And without the bad how would one know what is good. No need to blame it on an outside force or "god".

Calling them Jedi just shows these people don't have a clue what a Jedi is. Since Star Wars uses simple English, and has not needed to be translated for these people, and they still got it wrong, I'm not about to believe that they have a grasp on a story NOT written in English, and for which an untranslated copy does not exist.
As for cats, like they'd care enough to bother. They want to play, hunt, eat, and be loved. As long as those rules are followed, we can do what we like. Break those rules, and you're in big trouble.
Enlightened Atheist, Gaming God.
There are "Forces".
OK, the Annunaki were here, according to Sitchin, but they only messed up things.
I wish there should be a Nice God, only bringing Good.
Had that been the policy FROM THE BEGINNING, everybody would be forever happy.
Heaven on Earth.
We were betrayed by uninvited gods, including the cruel Annunaki.
again, what is the evidence, because if your using the bible, which has already been shown flawed, either your pulling our legs or your evidence is worth crap.
You know and I know that there is no evidence for anything in the religious, unless evidence is not necessary.
Even the christians admit the world "should" be different and there "should" be heaven on earth. Which implies we're living in a pretty shoddy mess created by their God.
Of course we don't live in a universe where "should" is a force except in our heads.
Hey, if they'd included some punctuation in there I'd have had an easier time reading it. What, you don't read Hebrew?!?

"Obviously I'm convinced of the existence of G-d. I'm equally convinced that Atheists who've led good lives will be in Olam HaBa going "How the heck did I wind up in this place?!?" while Christians who've treated people like dirt will be in some other place asking the exact same question."
