par4dcourse Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 This thread may have been posted before, if so I apologize. I ran across this quote this morning on one of my websites and found it interesting thinking. What if there is a superior being, but he's totally off his heavenly rocker? The rest of the gawds won't let him join in any reindeer games, and he amuses himself by making absurd lifeforms and throwing the superbowl. The wholly babble describes a nutjob, maybe its right!

Thurisaz Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Iä Iä Azathoth! (Sadly the article is a bit unclear on how the "mentality" of Azathoth is commonly described... this supreme deity of Lovecraft's dark dark universe is stark raving mad... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGiant Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well it would explain the platypus pretty well... Really, though, if a being existed with such a level of power, as to be a force of nature, would it matter if it was sane or not (or even sentient for that matter)? I mean from where we sit, it doesn't make a lick of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean from where we sit, it doesn't make a lick of difference. Sure it does. The idea of some omnipotent crazy old coot burnin' a fatty and laughing his ass off at the stupid shit his "worshipers" do would, if it could be proved positively, get me religious again.

Shion Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If there is a deity, they would have to be technically insane to create this universe, and more importantly to create humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwing Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 One wonders how or if humans could be sane enough to question the sanity of their maker? Can sanity arise out of insanity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThreeLetterAcronym Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think proclaiming to be 'sane' is the surest proof that a person is insane. - If there ever is such thing as a sane person I'd like to meet them, I'm sure I could learn a hell of a lot from them! On the subject of crazy deities, there was a weird satirical religious movement supposedly founded in the late 50s called Discordianism - it's either a religion disguised as a joke or a joke disguised as a religion, and presuming it actually exists and isn't just a counterculture spoof, their thinking is that God is a crazy woman called Eris. They proposed the theory of 'disorganized religion' as an antidote to the established church, and proclaimed everyone a genuine Pope. "The Principia Discordia" is the handbook/bible of Discordianism, and is supposedly divinely inspired by this this crazy Goddess The whole weird worldview is a central theme in The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson - a fun read, if a little odd. I can't work out if it's complete dross or complete genius, though it's apparently a bit of an underground classic so well worth checking out if you go in for that sort of thing - it's along similar lines to stuff by William S. Burroughs and Philip K. Dick God damn hippies =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadouKen24 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 On the subject of crazy deities, there was a weird satirical religious movement supposedly founded in the late 50s called Discordianism Not was. Is. I'm a founding member of the Cabal of the Pork Dog Inversus. We have fun. Mainly by blaspheming every other Discordian by eating hot dogs on every day except Friday.
