His email wasn't legit but I changed it anyways.

[ItIsAMystery]

I mean yeah he can just start another account and do the same thing, and probably planned on this happening when he posted his password.

But it feels good anyways.

[ItIsAMystery]

Then again he could have just been that retarded, not ruling it out.

But since it's the internet, I could imagine you to be A2P's butt buddy if I truly wanted.

See, these are two vastly different things. The top quote makes you seem like a generalizing twat. The bottom one kinda makes you look like a backpedalling twat anyways but way less so.

I disagree. I find it really makes me feel better to have something to bitch at when my life sucks. Might as well be God. He's supposedly in charge of this shitshow.

ps this thread is so gr9 why am i still caring

Doesn't make it true. The concept of an afterlife might bring people comfort too, but simply wishing for something doesn't mean it will be fact because it appeases to us on some emotional level. Also quotes 1 and 2 there say the same thing.

In the bottom one you add the safety words "most" and "likely".

ps I don't care if it isn't true. There's no way to know it isn't true but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. The point is that I found a use for believing in God, even if it is just as a scapegoat for unlikely bull**** streaks.

EDIT: okay, maybe this doesn't fall under the category of "need", more of a "want". Still.

You mean is it a good reason for believing in God? Maybe. I doubt everyone gets the same sense of relief from having something to blame, but I think it's well worth it to take a few seconds out of my life to call an unseen omnipotent entity a dick.

If that doesn't do anything for you, then it's probably not a good basis, no.

[Grandiagod]

I'd rather work on fixing the problem rather than insulting someone who doesn't exist because of it.
