->Why do our instincts insist on violence? I have studied the interactions between different species. The innate desire to survive seems to demand the death of the other. Why can they not stand hand in hand? So many believe the world was created by the hand of a divine power - but I see only the designs of a madman, bent on celebrating destruction and desperation. Our origins seem chaotic. Unintended. Purpose and being instilled solely by the passage of time. Imposed first by nature - and later men...

->''"Not even a thousand deaths would be fitting punishment for thy sins!''\\
I shall smite thee, and in hell I shall torture thee over and over!''\\
''After an aeon, I shall reincarnate thee, and thy lives shall be those of endless torment, thy bodies tortured in life and thy souls in death!''\\
''The same shall come to thy children, and thy children's children, throughout all eternity until the end of time!''\\
''Feel the wrath of my divine lightning, and plummet into the bowels of hell, burning in its unending flames!"''

->Everyone will continue killing each other for that coca! I wonder, if God knew all the destruction that this little leaf would bring, would She have still created it? Or maybe that's exactly why She did...'''
-->--'''Karen Bowman''', ''VideoGame/GhostReconWildlands''

But wasn’t God supposed to be, you know, good? Piper explains it here. Basically, the idea is that you don’t deserve an explanation, but you better [[StockholmSyndrome thank God for killing your family]], else He’ll do it again.

->Is that what God does? He helps? Tell me, why didn’t God help my innocent friend who died for no reason while the guilty roam free? Okay, fine. Forget the one-offs. How about the countless wars declared in His name? Okay, fine! Let’s skip the random, meaningless murder for a second, shall we? How about the racist, sexist, phobia soup we’ve all been drowning in because of Him? And I’m not just talking about Jesus. I’m talking about all organized religion: exclusive groups created to manage control. A dealer getting people hooked on the drug of hope, his followers nothing but addicts who want their hit of bullshit to keep their dopamine of ignorance! Addicts afraid to believe the truth, that there is no order! There’s no power! That all religions are just metastasizing mind worms meant to divide us so it’s easier to rule us by the charlatans that want to run us! All we are to them are paying fanboys of their poorly written sci-fi franchise.

-->-- '''The riddle of Epicurus''', also known as '''The Problem of Evil''' or '''The Epicurean Trilemma'''[[note]]Note the phrase is first noted by a Christian writer centuries after Epicurus' death. It may have been written by Epicurus or an Epicurean, but that is not certain. If the riddle was real, it likely did not address God(s), but the idea of providence, possibly in a criticism to the rival school of Stoicism. If it was not, it probably became attributed to Epicurus due to his criticism of traditional theism and his belief that gods were uninterested in human affairs (roughly speaking, Epicurus would have agreed with the riddle).[[/note]]

->Many Catholics bitterly complaint that they don't read the Bible beyond the New Testament. They often envy Protestants, who take the Scriptures as a guide according to the interpretation of their own spirits. But the Catholics who feel that sadness ignore, all too usually, that the Ancient Testament shows a God vigilante, vengeful, sexist and ruthless, who deceives men, who punishes, curses, exterminates them. A God that, as in the case of Job, whom He crushes without compassion to prove his faith, makes bets with the Devil at humanity's expense...

God was real, and he hated us.

->I think there is a God, and I think she wants us dead.

->'''Chef:''' Well, look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then it would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and help just so that He can tear it all away and make us cry, so He can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, [[EmotionEater it's our tears, Stan, that give God his great power.]]

'''It's you... Dear God.''

''whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that''\\
''Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,''\\
''and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon''\\

->'''Tyrion:''' The Lord of Light has his enemies burned. The Drowned God wants them drowned. Why are all the gods such [[JerkassGods vicious]] [[CountryMatters cunts?]] Where's the god of tits and wine?\\
'''Varys:''' In the Summer Isles they worship a goddess of fertility with [[MultiBoobage sixteen teats.]]\\
'''Tyrion:''' [[MrViceGuy We should set sail immediately.]]

->Oh, Laura. [[AndImTheQueenOfSheba And the Lords of Kobol are real?]] Reigning from a metaphysical mountaintop in those silly outfits? Zeus? Handing out fates out of an urn like they were lottery tickets? ''"''You're'' gonna work on a Tillium ship." "''You're'' gonna be an Admiral." "''Your'' family's gonna be evaporated in the attack on the colonies, but ''you'll'' survive for three more years in a moldy compartment on a freighter until your body starts to eat itself up alive."'' ''Those'' are the gods that you worship? Capricious? Vindictive?

''it's you... Dear God.''\\

->Let me give you a little "inside information" about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man ''instincts''. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do? I swear for His own amusement, His own private, cosmic ''gag reel'', He sets the rules in opposition! It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is He doing? '''''He's''''' laughin' His'' sick fuckin ass off! He's a tight-ass, He's a sadist, He's an absentee landlord!'' Worship ''that''? NEVER!

Tell her the truth, Michelle! That blood money is not a metaphor, that your wallet is heavy with those who [[DrivenToSuicide have untied themselves]]! Tell your daughter that God is the bully with the biggest fist and you can only hope that He is on your side!”
