Something reinforce that for ya?

Unfortunate series of events. Very unfortunate.
Surprised to see you, Miss. Jupiter. Not much surprising anymore.

What's so surprising about me?

...

Younger than I remember. Many things different than I remember them.

There's a lot of them, actually and I'm sure they'll be along shortly to be loudly obnoxious.

Hurm. Certain talking to them will be no use. Never has been.

No, it never is. I dunno, I find most of them really uninspiring.

Only job is to inspire. Seem unable/unwilling to intervene. Inspire more to laziness and wickedness than good.

I try not to care, it's just a little disappointing if you've actually seen God's wrath.

I have seen wrath. Not God's.

It's not as cool as Jerry Falwell would have you believe.

Mostly there's a lot of screaming.

Stupid angels. SHUT UP, NO ONE CARES.

What evidence do you have to prove there is not?

World has been crying out for one for very long time. No answer. Better to believe in no god than God who lets his children wallow in their own filth.
Only more clear with time.

Or the children need to learn to do for themselves instead of expecting God to fix their mistakes. There is as much arguement for that than there is for no God.

A child makes a mess and a parent does them no favors cleaning it up for them.

Point of God in a world where unwanted infants are born into gutters to die while mother sells body for next drug fix? Lesson of God when innocents are murdered and criminals go free?
Tried to make it right. Tried to clean it up.
No God. No good deed unpunished.

You could make that argument but change a single word and tell me if you would give up. Point of hope in a world where unwanted infants are born into gutters to die while mother sells body for next drug fix? Lesson of hope when innocents are murdered and criminals go free?

You would not give up on hope, would you? Or have you? I do not know if there is a God or not. If there is, he has forsaken me long ago but I would not deprive others of hope where they might find it and that is what God is. Hope.

Not sure. Used to know. Hope and good: used to mean something. Doesn't matter anymore. Not for me.

Would never take another's hope. My own certainty should not phase one who truly believes.
Used to believe, too.

There may be. But it's not as if He has to be very nice.

If God is cruel why have a devil?

Because God has a complex. Or, perhaps, to try and distract from the fact that it's His sadism that makes the world so ill.

Ill. Plagued. World is rotting and it is impossible to cut away all infection. A god who only watches is more than sadistic.

Yes. And I wouldn't have it any other way. But you may be right. I dare say that makes Him practically human.

Why? Why favor suffering? Why favor atrocity?

I don't favor it as such. But they say acceptance is an important step in dealing with a fatal disease.

Could not accept. Could not compromise. Still can not. Too late now.

Pardon? It sounds to me like you're already content with the way things are.

No. Not content. Disgusted. But no longer able to fight. The streets are cracking under weight of piling corpses and I am not there any longer to clean up after them.

No longer by choice, or necessity? Was this a voluntary retirement?

Not by choice. Would never voluntarily retire. Only ever one way out.
