Describe the God you believe in.

[Prophet 451]

57. I can tell you the god I believe in

He's a vicious tyrant who created humans to be his playthings, laid out rules no-one could ever live up to, imposes infinite punishments for finite crimes. He's not a being of love, he's a being with an adolescent fixation on being loved, the same way an abusive spouse demands the love of his victim. He's a monster who doesn't deserve worship. That's why I worship Lucifer.

I think that god created the universe by creating the singularity that led to the first Big Bang and thereafter, let natural cosmology and evolution take it's course. I say "first" Big Bang because I'm a believer in the cyclical universe model, that the Big Bang happened and tossed out a universe which continues expanding until the momentum runs out, whereupon gravity slowly draws everything back together into another singularity, which then undergoes a new Big Bang, creating a new universe. So while our universe is 13.8 billion years old, the universe is also, in some sense, eternal.

Now, your questions:

do you believe god answers prayers? Helps sports teams win?

Maybe sometimes, if it fits his psychotic whims.

Talks to people?

I don't know, he's never talked to me. I think he has talked to a few people over the centuries, telling his version of events.

Makes babies?

Your parents have had the talk with you, right?

Writes books?

No. The books are a mixture of propaganda, fact and fiction. Some of it is probably true. There probably was a Jesus who wandered first-century Palestine preaching peace and love but his story has been heavily mythologized over the years. Much of the rest is propaganda designed to make humans adore the evil bastard.
