Many are not going to like what I have to say, but feelings be damned, gonna say it anyway.

 

Who are we taught to trust?

 

While this would be easy to interpret as plural referring to the sentence above, it could also be interpreted as singular, as I'm going to do in my message.

 

So, who are we taught to trust?

 

God.

 

In God we trust.

One nation under God.

 

PRAY

PREY

 

Did you go home to PRAY after that one big disaster, or were you their controlled PREY all along? #PrayForX, amirite?

 

During early stages of any human civilization there are inevitably going to be many who in one way or another benefit from the existence of an almighty, perfect creator - of a god.

 

God fills a void for the uninformed peasant who lives in a cold, cruel world and desperately seeks explanation, meaning and purpose to find peace of mind.

God fills the pockets of the informed individual who realizes this and makes use of the peasants void.

And most of all, god fills the need a leader has for an obedient and docile population.

 

And thus yet another grand fairy tale is born, showering its chosen leaders with resources and control while the masses below find the mental strength to power through tomorrow.

 

In the best case one religion somewhere preaches/preached the truth, making it a drop of pure water in a vast sea of deception created throughout history.

In the worst case they are all false.

With this in mind I ask of you, what makes you think the religion you were taught to accept is any different?

What in your mind raises these odds from the tiniest of fractions to anything worth taking seriously?

 

If you believe god is omnipotent you acknowledge he chose to put us through all of this.

He chose to create us and our surroundings in a way where, given free will, corruption would rise and cause untold suffering.

He chose to let it continue for an excruciatingly long time.

He chose to even let the children suffer who were unlucky enough to get caught in it. Those toddlers must have been some REALLY bad sinners, huh?

And now he chooses to finally show how benevolent he is by guiding us out of the woods?

Maybe I'll go program a retarded bot one day, proceed to laugh at its stupidity, punish it for the mistakes it makes and eventually show my eternal love for it by fixing the faulty code.

 

If you don't believe god is omnipotent you acknowledge your religion is pushing a lie.

If so, What else does it lie about?

 

The ONLY card believers have to play against this line of thinking is one that draws power of the inability to reach absolutes.

God has a plan.

This plan is beyond the understanding of human beings and does therefore not need to follow what we consider waterproof logic.

You cannot provide absolute proof a plan like this doesn't exist because if it did, you wouldn't know.

 

Not only is this an incredibly unlikely explanation, but also one that can be used anytime, anywhere, for anything. The god of my daydreams has a few convenient plans too.

If a creator exists out there, I highly doubt we humans have managed to get the story right in any of our religions.

 

Taking all of this into consideration, I don't think it would be unreasonable to claim one possible meaning for Q's messages is to throw the first redpill on Christianity.
