A Holocaust survivor eventually dies of old age and goes to Heaven.
When he gets there he tells God a Holocaust joke.
God says "I don't think that's very funny at all."
Then the man responds "I guess you had to be there." - Ricky Gervais
I need to be careful here. First off I am a gentile. But to make a joke of the Holocaust is beyond the pale. But then again you made light of people's needs to visit their loved ones in cemeteries. You appear quite shallow and devoid of any type of humanity. I don't care how big your post count is, (here we go) but frankly you creep me out. Creeping out a vampire isn't easy but you've managed it. lol
I didn't make the joke........ Ricky Gervais did. I just thought it was applicable here.
It's kinda funny to me getting chastised on Holocaust sensitivity from an Adolf
My post count is simply an indication of the free time I have and the willingness to gab here, nothing more.

Adolf ist bei uns Deutschen ein gebrauchliches name. I'm glad that you were able to pick up on the irony. But there are thousands of Adolfs in Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc. It does not necessarily mean that we are all goose stepping S.S. men

So, for the sake of argument, give us your take on Ahura Mazda. I don't drive a Mazda, I'm more of a Honda man. For the sake of argument, let's suppose that Soichiro Honda is the one true god....

Why does he tolerate all of these other religions? A supreme being that never had a beginning and created the universe would not feel threatened by the beliefs of mere humans in other Gods. The God of the Hebrews was indeed jealous, but that is merely an invention of an obscure nomadic tribe wandering the Judean desert for 40 years.

He is apathetic and just doesn't give a damn. These erect hominids slowly developed a large cranium and learned how to speak, build fire, and created the wheel. Now the creatures are living in cities and killing each other in wars. Amusing yes, to be sure. But who the hell cares about them? They are nothing.....

Sometimes I wonder if the "backwards" cultures are the ones who have it right.
But that's for another time.
Back OT:
What exactly would (or should) people spiritually awake to?
Depends on what you consider backwards. The Native Americans respected the planet and nature, whereas the 'advanced' cultures have no respect for life, pollute and destroy to the point where they are searching for other planets to infect with our shit. Those who are spiritually awake don't impose it on others. I guess they didnt respect each other though Also how would you know what the Native Americans would have been like if they evolved more? I suppose at some point they would have invented machines, guns etc Maybe in a million years time

If there is no god then why do so many people who are otherwise, reasonably intelligent believe in one?
1 Why do you think that certain deity wouldnt tolerate? Perhaps it's benevolent or the others arent a threat? 2 Belief. Faith. In something bigger than themselves Raised that way Fear That something cant come from nothing Arrogance-that there has to be some grand plan or something looking out for us

2. That type of "evolution" requires a driving force.

If there's no threat, then there's no need for the deity to "reveal" itself in the process and/or establish rules of conduct
2. See above

I once played God in a school play... and got to kick my English teacher in the arse. For the rest of the play, all I had to do was sit there and play with a Rubik's cube. That was one of the few highlights of my school years. I once played the Virgin Mary in a live church nativity, lol! My friends nowadays just laugh themselves silly.

Does that mean we're somehow distantly related?

I swear I put it in the post. And I meant to tell you he got himself nailed to a tree. Serves him right for being such a condescending little shit.
