God vs Why

 There is no greater curiosity than that of a child. And just as great as that curiosity is the creative process of understanding and assimilating information. God has so designed the human brain and nervous system that it needs to ask why as much as a tree needs water. And in answering that question, which it can in an infinite number of ways, it equally has the ability to design unique answers unto itself! And only our ability to ask and answer such questions is what makes us so unique. In fact, as much as a child needs love to thrive, which they need as much as sleep and water, a child loves to learn by asking why, and just as creatively imagining the answers. 

Doing so only becomes a major problem when such a child insists their own answers are infallible, and everyone else must be crucified and burned for all eternity for daring to say otherwise. 

But then comes the problem - why? 

Christianity teaches parents, via spiritual surrogate parents in the roles of priests and nuns, that children's curiosity must be channeled into a "love" of God - and not just any God, but their own particular brand of such a word. By "love," we really mean fear, since it is impossible to genuinely love that which we cannot understand, especially when we cannot understand why such a "God" needed to torture and punish an innocent Jesus in order to demonstrate his love for us, in order to save us from a hell God alone is responsible for creating and maintaining, rather than punishing and doing away with the devil - who God created, and maintains, and allows to do his worst without the slightest of interruptions - who God blames for luring us to disobey His command to obey a church, regardless of how many pedophiles it employees and protects.

God, so it seems, created children with an insatiable curiosity, in order to create an institutional Church that would then channel that insatiable curiosity into the bottomless well that is the word God, which is a word that is as infinite as it is abstract, signifying nothing as much as it means anything you wish. 

God, as such, wanted an institutional church to act as an intellectual chastity belt on the infinite curiosity he designed us with, in which our brains can only grow by engaging such a curiously, so we would not ask questions that would lead us to see or interpret the word "God" as anything other than how His one "true" institutional Church - the Roman Catholic Church - defines such a word, regardless of how many pedophiles the church protects or other crimes it engages in. What a great plan!

The question to all of this, of course, is why did such a "perfect" God feel compelled to create so sinful humans and command them to worship Him lest he cast them into hell forever for failing to do so, and reward them with eternal heaven for their obedience? What the hell does such a "God" gain from doing any of this?

Why?

It is just such a question, so Christians will assure you, that countless numbers of people deserve to roast for all eternity, not for daring to ask, but for daring to doubt those who parrot back to them as an all encompassing answer, like that Raven from Poe's poem, the single yet meaningless word: "God," as if they want those asking the question to prove they deserve to be spared eternal fires of Auschwitz by being as robotic in their obedience as those offering such an answer are at being a parrot. 

Religion - in short - is an example of invasion of the body snatchers, and in the name of love and God, they will burn you alive if ever you dare to disagree with their claims that they and they alone are as infallible as a pet parrot. And for such parrots, it is impossible to be both free and fully obedient, for they either live in a cage of thinking, repeating like robots what they hear, or they do not, and sing whatever song they wish. The Christian sees the latter as a sin, despite the fact our brains were designed to require such freedom, even as those same Christians demand the freedom to force their own children not to ever exercise such a freedom.

Good birds never ask about the difference! No wonder they give those Polly's so many crackers when they flock together in their cages once a week.
