Why would an all-powerful, omnipresent, omniscient god want lesser beings to worship and give offerings to him? [Spirituality & Religion]

That sounds like something a narcissistic sociopath would do.

The false premise you have is you think worship and offerings is for God's benefit. Here is a hint. It isn't.

@hippyjoe1955 So it will neither mind nor care if we don’t do either of those things?

Good

I will help you with the logic presented.
The worship is for our own benefit since you can receive from a holy source that is acknowledged otherwise you might attribute something silly like evolution for blessings received. 🙏🏻😊

@newjaninev2 You can ignore what ever you want. You already ignore science and higher learning and logic and reasoning.

@Pfuzylogic So I still have to worship it, or it gives me nothing? Isn’t that just blackmail?

@newjaninev2 he gives you so much!

@newjaninev2
You give the impression that you don’t acknowledge God now.

Do you feel blackmailed?
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic Acknowledge? You’re joking, right?

I dismiss the postulation out of hand... it’s pointless, unhelpful, and unnecessary

It’s time for humanity to drop that postulation into the rubbish bin and move on.. we have more pressing matters to occupy us

@newjaninev2
I see you were embarrassed that you asked the question and edited it. Smooth move...a bit like the Lucy fraud.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic If I edit a comment it’s to correct typos or to improve the wording.

To which question are you referring?
Pfuzylogic · M
@newjaninev2
You are so full of it.
You have zero integrity
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic lol! That feels like I just opened up a couple of rather vindictive fortune cookies!

Do you have anything about tall, dark, handsome strangers? 😀
Pfuzylogic · M
@newjaninev2
At least you flat out deleted the evidence. 😉
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic I don’t actually know what you’re going on about... perhaps you could clarify your meaning?
Pfuzylogic · M
@newjaninev2
So deleting a comment clears it from your mind? 🤭
@Pfuzylogic If it's not there, it wasn't said!!! 🤣
Pfuzylogic · M
@HootyTheNightOwl That is what it seems. 😉
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic In this thread? There’s a ‘comment deleted’ box, is there?

Only I can’t see one

Could you perhaps point it out to me?

Then show me that it was my comment that was deleted.

While you’re doing that, think on this. I haven’t deleted any comments.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic To help you... you’re looking for a red box that says something like ‘this comment was deleted by the user’

Found it yet? The thread's not very long... shouldn’t take too much effort

@newjaninev2 Unlike some "loving" Christians on here, lol.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Pfuzylogic I’ll make a nice cup of tea while I wait, shall I?
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Bushranger Yes, it’s just lie, after lie, after lie. Perhaps their magical entity gives them an exemption certificate?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@newjaninev2 SW shows both deletes and edits lmao - but it's a conspiracy!
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@QuixoticSoul Yes, next he’ll claim that I have some sneaky way to delete the deletion marker.

But I operate to a higher ethical standard, because I don’t have an imaginary friend who can wipe away any misdeeds, so I need to stand by what I do.

@newjaninev2 @QuixoticSoul
Just because you removed a comment doesn’t make you an evil person. I understand when the temptation to change something you wrote before comes over you. I forgive you.
