Kafka is degenerate just because he is an idiot without any talent. A overhyped jew. There are big differences here.

Profound literary judgment too. I'm impressed.

Actually, the Catholic Church is probably less corrupt now than it has been for a thousand years. I mean, I'm anti-Roman (for reasons that have nothing at all do to with atheism), but everything that's come to the surface recently has been, though awful, only a fraction of what was institutionally awful in the establised church since before Chaucer.

I'm not sure that degenerate means talentless. I mean, the word has to have some meaning we all agree on, and that's not it.

On the other hand, you can't fault Kafka's grammar and syntax, which is more than can be said for some gentiles who spring to mind.

It sounds anti-semitic to me.

Also all the "moron" talk is tedious.

The ghost of Yeats resounds:


The Four Ages of Man - W.B. Yeats

He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright.

Then he struggled with his heart;
Innocence and peace depart.

Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.

Now his wars on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win.

Damn, that's a good question. If the Bible is to be believed then the SOB sure as hell is the ultimate bigot. He does claim to be a jealous and vengeful god who ''visits iniquity upon the third and fourth generations'' of those who despise his wicked ways. Not a very forgiving or lovable bastard, is he?

This is funny. Why God should hate anybody. Men hate in the name of God, fight and kill one another. Men created religions, Gods, heavens, and so many stories abounding around them and accuse Gods of hating to defend themselves. God is above and beyond all these trashes. Men are warring taking God to the front. This is really ridiculous.

This world is a really funny place to live in with a funny people inventing funny things and rendering them an air of funniness and reveling in them.

Gods are neutral and will be always in the background. Men keep themselves too much in the foreground and color up God with these things

As long as we believe that Bible (or any other holy book of any religion) is divinely inspired, we have to believe that God is hating and vengeful.

Show me where God hates and ill show you where God loves. The approprite question is why does God LOVE so much. I think you have serious context issues. As do most "religious people" they take a single verse out of a chapter and twist it to mean what they want it to. But seriously. give me examples of Gods "Hate" and I will show you his love in them.

''Why God should hate anybody.''

''I hated Esau'' Malachi 1:3

-------------------------

This ever benevolent [sic] god kills Canaanites in Joshua 6:


The city and and everything in it must be completely destroyed as an offering to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and the others in her house will be spared, for she protected our spies.(Verse 17)

They completely destroyed everything in it - men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, donkeys - everything. (Verse 21)

-------------------------


And we all know it was he who 'hardened the heart of the Pharaoh' in order to justify killing his people.

Man at least eat the bloody livestock.

Romans 12:2

This is why Christians are poor representatives of their faith; and why people in general are poor representatives of their species.

The God you have is the God you'd like to be. The freaks of history figured you out and gave you exactly that and declared themselves your humble masters. Have fun.

Death is the ultimate reward and the actual meaning of life. Our sole purpose for living is to die, get buried, and fertilllize the soil so some other life-form can grow.

Do not confuse yourself with the nonsense you have inherited in society through education or learning from your near and dear ones.

Go beyond these delimiting parameters to understand your limitless powers.

Death is the reason for Life, and the Ultimate Reward for living it. The sole purpose of Life is that we will die, get buried, and fertillize the soil so some other pointless life-form can grow in our stead. It is a cycle, to which Man, being relatively new, has no purpose or role to play except the destruction of other species. (and, if he's lucky, the entire planet.)
