Well, in all fairness, my idea of a God wouldn't include a petty, human emotion like vanity. Which is precisely why I object to the bible's version of jealous God who wants to hog all the glory. That seems so out of place with a perfect God who is complete within itself.
Why do you think that any god that might actually exist would adhere to your personal expectations?

"True Perfection Has To Be Imperfect"
"True Perfection Has To Be Imperfect" - Noel Gallagher
For all I know god is up there now throwing a temper tantrum.
Or serenely wanking himself into blissful oblivion. Who knows?
I guess there is something about perfection that strikes me as being at odds with petty human behaviors
Most of the gods of history have exemplified the most petty of human behaviours.
These days we project our subjective ideas of perfection onto our deities instead.

Re: "True Perfection Has To Be Imperfect"
Wait, I'm god?
Of course you are. As am I. Message 4
Now the question is can we both be atheists and gods simultaneously?

I will leave it to your imagination to work out how we establish which one of us is the superior god.

Re: "True Perfection Has To Be Imperfect"
Sweeeeeet! I'm god now.
Whoooah! Hold your horses cowboy!!
You may be more godly than I on pure wazz factor. But that doesn't mean you are the "one true god".
You are the Zeus to my Apollo. That is all.
First order of business, US is back in the Cup. England is still out.
As the god of football (not fucking soccer) I get to make that call.
You are too busy trying to shag mortals to deal wit the real issues.

My guess is that they've given up on this universe as a bad job, and wish to completely disassociate themselves from the whole embarrassing fiasco.
I would if I could but this omnipotence lark just isn't all it is cracked up to be.
There are so many rules and regulations.
The forms that need to be filled in for a cosmological transfer alone are enough to deistically decline.

Hope I havent offended any of the local gods.
I am most displeased.
I dont know about the gods but I met my goddess the other day.
Was she hot?
I knelt down to worship at the holy alter and all my prayers were answered.
Apparently she was.
You guys must not be doing it right.
She says that to all the boys.
You have to worship long and hard, and really mean it.
She says that too. But she means that one.
little bit of groveling is OK but not too much.
These goddesses are fickle creatures.
Pay attention and be patient, keep your eyes open and you ll come across one in no time.
The smutty innuendo continues.
Goddess bless.
You have been.
Hope I havent offended any of the local gods.
That was my godly wife you were coming across........
Hence my displeasure.
It will be thunderbolts at dawn for you m'lad.

Was she hot?
Let me assure you, she was a vision.
Well what is the point of make-believe if you can't even dream up hot goddesses?
She says that to all the boys.
Well...she never said that to me.
No. I mean she tells all the boys that all the other boys aren't doing it right. What is the point of make-believe if you can't even dream up hot goddesses who massage your ego?
These goddesses are fickle creatures.
Tell me about it. I had to sit down, stand up, move over, bend over, reject the evil, reject all other goddess's (even if they are shiny), give up a bunch of other stuff and finally I received the blessing.
Nobody said the path to the blessings of the hot-goddess would be an easy one.
The smutty innuendo continues.
Smutty?!? Careful or you might get smoted.
Ohhhhh. I do hope so.
She said it was all about me.
She lies.
It will be thunderbolts at dawn for you m'lad.
Dawn eh? Typical...make me suffer before I die.
You will have noticed dawn came and went.
I lie too. But your suffering was no doubt good for you.
