God checks back in with his progeny and is weirded out by how wildly civilization enabled us to diverge from Him. He gets out-thought and out-argued by average adjunct professors. He has the sort of omnipotence and omniscience that's more brute force than clear thinking, and gets mad at being left behind by His children. │ ║ ║ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ╠─────────┐ ┌───────────╣ ║ similar │ chronological │ different ║ ╚═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══─────╝─▶ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 messages/359 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── "God doesn't know he ate the universe, and we're doing everything we can to make sure it stays that way." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 messages/89 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system.
