God;s job is to punish people who don't follow all his random commandments (kill the gays, kill those who work on
sabbath, kill those who insult their parents, enslave people, etc) to an eternity of hell. He's also responsible
for all the things we can't explain and shouldn't attempt to. Gravity? Goddidit! Earth? Goddidit! Radioactive
decay? Goddidit! Bermuda Triangle? Goddidit! And his function isn't to answer prayers (since all those people who
pray to win the loto are very disappointed), so prayers are god's way of having a laugh at our expense. And
god's function is certainly not to ensure we live happily, since there are so many wars. Rather, god's
function is to test us, for no particular reason whatoever, and test us again, and again, until people lose faith and
then he can send them to hell. Oh, and he also plants fossils and fakes carbon dating and stuff so that the earth only
looks really old. But it's really six thousand years old, like the bible said.
Praise god.
[/sarcasm] God doesn't exist. The bible is ridden with contradictions, lies, and false info. No one punishes us, no
one watches over us, so we should live our lives at the best of our morals without expecting some mythical recompense in
the end.
