Maybe you fail to understand that your idea is hardly original, and seeing how you've obviously heard of all the other people that have done it, you can see how successful you will be too.

The slow hammer of science and education has a much more profound effect.

"a chillds understandingu of religion"
You know me so well, eh?
Then by your logic could children be considered religious?
Besides which; I knnow a pretty high level of intelligen e
Is required to undErstand quantum particles, how smart must you be to stubbornly stick to the beliefs whatever culture you are a part of has inndoctrinated you with?
Personally I prefer a mathematical universe than one manipulated by sky people.
You realize the notion of heaven was not a deeply thought out concept but the imaginings of primatives when they saw cloud structures of heavy and liight cloud interspersed with sunlight?
How smart must you be to cling to the belieefs of savages? Ever read the bible, or do you just mimic what your preacher tells you? Read the part where god f***is with job, or when he tells people to go and rape the little babalonyan girls.
How much understanding, as you put it, is needed to whitewash that bit and pretend your god is loving and benevolent? Dixd you know the bible says Jesus and a group of virgin Jews were the only ones allowed in heaven, or do you conveniently "undersattand"hey, you k ow god was just kidding.
I'd say you've a childs understanding, the same you've had since you were a child. You've just yet to grow out of it.
Next time try to make an argument that amounts to more fthan "na-in"


haha, don't listen to twerps like that, in his opinion, anyone who can't read the bible backwards, in Hebrew, blinfolded. Has a childs understanding of religion. I'd go and read the bible, but i'd be wasting my time.

I'm actually quite serious about this... and possibly mad.

The Catholic church asserts there is a god; the pope is the representative of god.
God, by their claims, is responsible for everything on Earth - good and bad.
So, to what ends are god responsible?

I am endeavouring to determine a financial amount that god would owe humanity in suffering. After all every rape, pillage, war, death, injury, disability, etc. would be caused by him.
The church cannot contend with this and still claim god exists. By claiming an omnipotent, all-powerful being, and ackowledging themselves as reprsentatives of this being, they admit responisibilty.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to sue god. Wish me luck.


Don't sue god he didn't do anything is was the Holy Roman Satanic Church AKA the Holy Roman Catholic Church, they are nothing more that frauds who pretend to be Christians. Please sue them they are evil.

It is not about whether or not there is a god; but the fact they claim there is, claim this god is responsible for all, claim to be represtenatives of this god


This would mean that these "they" are claiming responsibility for, as you say, "all".
You will likely fail, but your case does have formal merit.

Another problem is that it would also mean that they are claiming responsibility for other things than suffering, and they could use your, as they would likely phrase it, "debt" as leverage to their case.
