Thanks!
K. I’m back. Sorry guys, I was drinking. Lol. Man did I drink a lot. No hangover though. Lovely. My second post to Ms. Rivka coming up.
@Rat Spit Re: "I was drinking. Lol. Man did I drink a lot."
Ah... So THAT explains why the eggnog barrel was half empty when I checked it earlier today. Mystery solved. Oh, by the way, the purple vision usual goes away within a couple of days. Nothing to get too worried about.... (as far as I know).
@Rivka
Rivka: “Awesome! Thanks for the reply! So you do hear a voice? Like, really?”
Yes! I hear a voice. It’s just like the one you hear, although I don’t control it. Well, you believe you control the one in your head, but I’ll show you how that’s impossible in a few secs here.
Rivka: “3% is pretty small, if you ask me; in fact, smaller than the entire Jewish population (it’s 0.16% for those who care, ya, you got it, we need more sex). Being you’re part of a 3% label, which isn’t normal by the way, I can safely assume you have a mental condition. That’s not good, Rat Spit, that’s like very, very bad. When I have a child someday, and if he or she’s in that 3% range, we’re seeing a doctor right away.”
Ok. Are you done? Can you move past the labels or are you going to dwell in this for the remainder of our challenge? Bottom line. The 3% lead very normal lives.
Rivka: “So, this guy, this god of your’s with the white beatd - not sexy, gross - is everywhere?”
Yes.
Rivka: “You mean he’s in ISIS, Trump, and all the evil out there?”
Yes. He’s very evil. I never claimed he wasn’t.
Rivka: “If he’s everywhere, he’s everything, am I wrong? He’s even in front of me? Because I don’t see him, I see my puppy :)”
No. He’s present in your puppy too. Do you breathe air? It’s invisible. Does it therefore not exist?
Rivka: “Oh, and you even know his or her name! What a revelation! My father’s name is Shmule, he’s my god.”
Shmule? Sounds like a real shlep ;)
Rivka: “See, I know his name, too. And at least I can see him by my real eyes. My puppy’s eyes look more believable than your god’s. Also, Rat Spit, it does make a difference whether you see a god in plain day: when it’s dark, you could reassure yourself that your eyes were just playing tricks on you. In plain day, well then, you’re just shitting me - opps! That just spilled out!”
Yeah ... keep on breathing that invisible air. You’ll be needing it to survive.
Rivka: “I also make up words with no meaning, ever heard of indramater? What about bobtilda? Or mekenzika? Do you know what they mean? They all mean I’m crying my eyes out.”
*scratches head in confusion*
Rivka: “So god creates us all, male and femal, with no preference, but then only bothers with 4% of the whole human race? That’s true chosen-hood! Sorry guys, we Jews aren’t chosen after all, it’s all the loonies of the world. You break my heart, but I guess you feel special now. Tell me, what do you do to be chosen?”
No. He’s with you too. Right beside you, over your shoulder. You just don’t realize it. You confuse what appears to be a “self” within those little thoughts of yours - and you confuse them as your own. So tell me - if every thought is an impulse in the brain first, how can you possibly be at the root of it?
Rivka: “You see, regarding our topic on fairies, people thought long ago that these little fairies in green skirts made the shape of rain droplets, now, today, we know better. Your god exists because he makes you feel better - but he won’t for long. With each discovery, your god is swept further under the rug, until someday, they’ll be no room left for him.”
Right ...
Rivka: “Okay, let me answer your question: my voice is just that - it’s MY f’n voice, not some imaginary freind’s. Yes, I hear music all the time - especially Justin Bieber :) ! - but again, I can tell the difference between my own voice and his, and if I’m alone with my thoughts, wow, I know I’m totally alone! Since there’s no god, this voice in your head is your own, and since you believe it’s god, you’re delusional. In short, who let you out of the asylum?”
Again, if every thought starts out as an impulse in the brain, how can you possibly be at the root of it? And this Justin Bieber in your head? ... You have no control over it - which just goes to further show that you aren’t the one controlling your thoughts. You are under a well timed and planned out deception.
Rivka: “Alright, I’m done for tonight - yawn - I got to get outside for a breather.”
Yeah. I’m done here too.
Looks like she’s thrown in the towel *yawns and stretches arms* yep. Just another atheist bowing to my superior intellect.
@Rat Spit
Damn... Must be tough being king. Heavy is the head that holds the crown, and all that jazz. *chuckle*
Her only problem was trying to be rational in the realm of the totally irrational. Sometimes you just have to call a rat a rat and leave it to its meanderings. Cognostic's shovel, (Tin man has a butter knife so I went out and got a shovel.) When someone starts slinging bullshit, scoop it up and sling it back.
I am adding the Shovel in with the Razors.
rmfr
@Cog
A shovel! Yes! Fantastic idea!
I'm working on a response, Rat Spit, to your stupidity.
So don't go away!
***tree jumps up and down in joy while shaking branches like pompoms***
"Yes! Rivka is still here!"
rmfr
That's the polite female version of .... "I'll Be Back." LOL
Dear Rat Stink...
I'm glad you're still hearing voices, no, really. At least I'm normal, and if I'm having dirty thoughts, or humming Justin Bieber, no god is transplanting them into my head. It's all me, pal. And if God is evil, I won't worship him. I'm glad your God's evil, really, it means he killed 6 million of my people, and you support him. It makes you look really foolish and backwards. It makes you into a Nazi, Rat Stink, so I'd think twice before saying shit like that next time. And you can't compare God to air, air's material substance, it exists, I can interact with it (hint, I can fucking breath it to sustain myself); I can't interact with God.
That's all I have to say.
Oh, and can your God be stupid? I'd really like to know that!
A fucking Nazi!? Think twice? Holy far gone conclusion.
My God didn’t kill your people. A little historical figure named “Adolf Hitler” killed your people. The fact that two beings are evil doesn’t imply they commit the same atrocities. So maybe YOU should think twice before you go around calling people “nazis”. Pretty fucking pathetic coming from a Jew.
BTW - it’s been really “interesting” arguing with you with all these absurd conclusions you like to jump to. No. Really. It’s a pleasure to watch you make a fool out of your self.
Let’s stream line the process, why don’t we? Every thought you, me, or anyone has starts out as an impulse. One question. Do you claim ownership of that impulse?
Forget about God for a sec. I’m not trying to prove God exists to you. The only thing (and this would satisfy) that I want to show you is that there is no “you”. Dirty thoughts, Justin Bieber - none of that is caused by you. You are simply a helpless bystander in the process.
All of your so called “thoughts” are nervous impulse reactions to your perceptual environment. If you don’t think so; explain it otherwise.

Not too bad Rivka. You managed to prove Godwin’s Law within about (let’s see) three posts. Good job! LMAO
To answer the question you posed: can my God be stupid? The answer is no; the OverLord is the supreme being; his intelligence is unmatched; beyond comparison; indefatigable.
Just so you know. I’ve been to Birkenau. I’ve been to Auschwitz. I’ve seen what the Nazis did to the Polish, the Jews, the Gypsies, the Mentally Insane, Jehova’s Witnesses. I’ve shed tears at the humanity of it. So take your pathetic mud slinging else where.
That doesn’t mean He doesn’t goof around. I’m always goofing around with the Evil One. FYI - the Evil One is the OverLord’s alter ego. He’s the Being He becomes when He doesn’t have the time or patience to talk to any particular human at any particular time. And (let me tell you) - the Evil One is such a scamp!
***tree jumps up and down in joy while shaking branches like pompoms***
Actually, Arakish, I was a cheerleader in school, so I know pompoms well!
Kewl. I always loved cheerleaders.
rmfr
Yeah. Did you know cheerleaders are known more for their brains than their beauty?
I’m a Nazi, BTW. Served in WW2. Western Theatre. I was in the Luftwaffe. And then, after the war, I found my personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I never killed a single living baby after that day.
Rat Stink, boy that stinks by the way; I mean, if God can do anything, absolutely anything, can he seriously be stupid? I say he can, because he was invented by primates half a chromosome away from a chimpanzee, who, to put it mildly, were pretty stupid.
@Rivka Re: "I say he can, because he was invented by primates half a chromosome away from a chimpanzee, who, to put it mildly, were pretty stupid."
Now, now... That's not very nice. You shouldn't insult our distant cousins like that. In all fairness, I have seen several chimps, gorillas, orangutans, and other such primates who seem waaaay more intelligent and humane than the typical god character.... *chuckle*...
That makes no sense, Rivka.
WHAT!!!! Wait a minute --- You are looking at this the wrong way. Chimps are half a chromosome away from being human! My family pics can prove it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEhGV1tD5-8
@Cog
Awwwww.... You were so cute when you were little!

A good read for a godless society.
A good point is raised with the holocaust. In your Godless, Atheist world your people died without meaning; without consequence. The Nazis who commited those atrocities will never pay for their actions. In your vacuous, empty world - evil has no limits.
A Godless world is far more evil than a world in which a Supreme Being judges the actions of man. In my world, Hitler is burning in Hell for an eternity. In your world, his ashes or bones are all that are left of the man who gave the orders to systematically wipe out millions of people. What kind of world would you rather live in, Rivka?
rat spit,
There were far worse people than Hitler, like King Leopold II of Belgium. Hitler gets dumped on because he concentrated on killing white people instead of browns and blacks. If he had killed black people no one would be bitching about him like they do now.
A world in which there is eternal torture has far more evil than one without.
