Stories like this are why I'm absolutely convinced that if God does exist, they're the kind of guy that likes to burn ants with a magnifying glass.

I am so sad for him.

Yep, if a god exists, they're the biggest piece of shit ever to have existed.

The only charitable explanation I have for god is that the conditions for life on earth are just a side effect of whatever god was trying to do in another part of the universe entirely.
This galaxy isn’t full of god’s chosen. Merely the forgotten or never intended.

Hell, there’s a theory that the universe we see is actually the inside of a black hole. (It’s not a super widely accepted theory, mind you.) I could accept it as god has already discarded us.

If I believed in the existence of ‘god,’ anyway.

I suppose it’s all possible, but since there is no evidence to support such claims even if only a thought experiment, I will be continuing my current belief that no god exists or ever has existed.

"If there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness"

This sentence was found carved into a wall in one of the sheds in a concentration camp.
