Rules of Patheos: Midgley appears to violate TOS 10x

[_Lemmie]

This is so incredibly offensive.

I was more than merely "implying" that without faith in God and immortality, then life is ultimately meaningless. Now you are free to set out the tenets of your atheist religion. And be sure to explain how mere "meat wads" can have any real meaning that goes beyond merely pleasuring themselves until they disappear forever.

So "spit and swallow" Midgley thinks that without a belief in god, he would do nothing but pleasure himself? Of course, he has also noted how as a youth, apparently sniffing around outhouses for a giant pile of crap was a big draw. I guess it's a good thing Midgley has religion, because his natural mind is pretty filthy.

DCP already explained this to Fred Kratz. Fred asked what more could he want than the good things in life he's experienced, and DCP responded, to continue experiencing those things in the next life (presumably indefinitely).

In other words, DCP is telling Fred that a meaningful life is only found in pleasuring ones self, but on the condition any time constraints removed.

Omg the things I learn here. No wonder they're so afraid of the TK Smoothie. All the time in the immortal universe, and not a single thing to do with it!

So is the Midge a God Wad? Sounds icky.

This really does raise some fascinating theological questions, doesn't it? I've long wondered what is meant to happen to agency in the CK. If each person is an exalted God, then you obviously cannot "force" them to do anything. So, is it the case that, as a God, you effectively "recreate" all the your friends and loved ones, but, of course, they answer to you, since you are the God? Similarly, would the Mopologists re-create their enemies, just in order to smite them down? I.e., DCP could reanimate Ed Decker, and then kill him with a lightning strike. He could theoretically create an infinite number of Deckers, and kill each of them in a different manner: stricken with boils; cancer; rockslide; car accident--you name it.

And what happens to the "rules" of mortal existence? Those go away in the CK, right? Or is the idea that the "virtuous" exalted beings just flat-out won't want to do those things? Peterson fancies himself a gourmand (he's not, though: if you pay attention to the things he says that he orders, he's always ordering the trashiest food items, like some kind of bean and beef pizza; it's as if he learned his tastes in food from Guy Fieri. He never met a deep-fried item that he didn't like, and he's never heard of something called "vegetables"), so would that mean that he'd get to drink Dom Perignon, coffee, and Bordeaux? You mention masturbation and "self pleasure." Is that permitted? Would he be able to not only to engage in guilt-free viewings of salacious Jennifer Lopez videos, but he would actually be able to graduate to hardcore porn?

Literally, this is what just happened to me. My wife is also asking me why I'm laughing out loud. All I can say is thank you! This was brilliant!

Sounds a bit mean. Brother Peterson will have at least one wife urging him to eat a healthy diet to maintain his perfected body.

... so would that mean that he'd get to drink Dom Perignon, coffee, and Bordeaux? You mention masturbation and "self-pleasure." Is that permitted?

A large container of Orange Julius, a La-Z-Boy power recliner, a book by a Germanic author, and some soothing music by Lex de Azevedo played for eternity is sufficient for Dr. Peterson without that forbidden stuff. He will be a cerebral Celestial being, exempt from the sweaty procreation duty of lesser Gods.

HOWLING LAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is admirable that Dr. Midgley wished Gemli well in the wake of the flooding in New Orleans. I imagine he has compared the street map for Gemli with the points at which the levee might be breached by water. Plus, Dr. Midgley did not express any glee that contaminants from the flood water could accelerate raw meat spoilage.
