What if?

Post by Cagliostro »

What if God (or god or the goddess, or the gods or goddesses, etc.) truly exists and so does Hell, and God has a great love of shoelaces. No matter how much you have held Him/Her/etc in high esteem and gone through all the rituals, if you have ever cursed shoelaces, you will burn in Hell forever. Wouldn't that suck? And would double-knotting your shoelaces be a sin?

Anybody else have any great imponderable "what if's"?

Sure, lots of them. Straight out of the Bible (but no less capricious, arbitrary, or horrifying).

What if God exists and he hates you eating pork.
What if God exists and he hates it when you call his priests "baldy" and sends bears to attack children who violate this unwritten rule?
What if God exists and he doesn't want you to eat fruit which he put in your own garden?
What if God exits and he thinks it's okay to drown every organism on the planet except one family of each species?
What if God exists and he tells one group of humans--his favorites--that it's okay to enslave all the other humans?

Shoelaces? Why the hell not?

Ooooh, ZING!

What if God exists and he doesn't like people making and/or posting in "What if..." threads about God?

Imagine that.
It's easy if you try I bet.
Actually someone should make a song about that.
I imagine it would be very powerful and moving.
I also imagine that religious groups would hate it.
I imagine it would be one of my favorite songs.
I also imagine it would answer most questions in this thread.

What if...the Imagination..is GOD....
and the dis'ing of it..
is a personal sentence to Hell.

I hear that food left between the teeth pisses off the Imagination
so...better not do that.
If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

What if this life is just one life and the next life, and the one following that and....we retain our memory and learnings of all our previous lives

If we retained our memory and learnings of previous lives, that would be awesome. :D Then I'd be in favour of reincarnation. :D

I think there was a song called Imagine but I can't remember who it was by, the song couldn't have been good.

What if you had every intention of being in bed by 10pm, but then you went online to check something out...and then you stopped by KW, y'know, just for a minute...and before you knew it...

Oh...wait...
