A Short Prose Illustrating Religion by Nobody: 11:01am On Aug 05, 2016
Idea stolen from hopefullandlord grin
Also, I give tutorials in school and like making analogies when I teach so this is fun for me.
If you've noticed I make analogies a LOT. Lol
Not my best work grin but whatever
*******
Rick, Perry, Evan, Chris, and Jamal, are sent to school by their parents. Their parents sent them to school, but they don't know why. . . All they know is that that morning, their parents drove them to school and dropped them off. The principal welcomes them, and tells them to enter Room 3E. After waiting for an hour, nobody comes to their class. undecided The five boys then look around the Room, playing with different objects, and trying to guess what they're supposed to do. Then Rick's older brother comes into the room, whispers something in Rick's ear, and leaves. "Hey guys, my brother said we're in school to learn how to read!", says Rick. The others aren't so sure about that, but they pick up books lying around (which they don't even understand) and try to read. Jamal didn't even hear him. He was busy playing with some toys at the other end of the room. Perry's brother comes in and whispers in Perry's ear, and leaves too. " Rick, you're wrong! We're in school to learn how to write! My brother told me so.", says Perry. Now they're confused. 'Who are we supposed to listen to? There are books in the room, for us to read, but there are also sheets of paper, and pens, for us to write. Who should we listen to? They start to argue, and fight, and present reasons why they should read/write. The same thing happens when Jamal, Evan, and Chris' brothers come in, each telling them different things to do. Two hours later, each of them have decided they'll listen to their own brother. Their brother has to be right.
***
Later the teacher finally comes in, and gives the boy doing the right thing a pat on the back. And maybe a candy bar. And throws the rest of the children in a bubbling pot of hot oil.
***
NOTE: The teacher was watching them from a hidden camera the whole time

The school ought to be closed down for its gross incompetence and neglect of children, and the teacher sent to jail for cruelty to children.

Just saying that if you really think about it, you will see that your analogy makes Yahweh to be an evil cruel pervert that no sane parent will entrust with their child.
In a civilised society the teacher will be in prison for a really long time.

The hit pot of oil is hell fire. And the pat on the back and candy bar is heaven. Whichever heaven is right. I'm surprised you didn't understand the analogy. I thought it was simple enough.

So how is this your notion of God moral?
Just like the teacher in your analogy was evil and cruel in his actions towards the children, so too is your notion of God evil and cruel.
Why will a God of love an justice torment people in fire for eternity when their sins was for less than 100 years?

I'm not sure you even noticed that this was more of a parody. Obviously the god that religious people worship is not moral and I put it in other words to show how ridiculous it looks from another persepctive

My apologies, but in defence I have seen worse from people who were serious about their belief.
