Lotto Numbers, Lotto Numbers, and, is God a jerk?
I feel like listening to the devil bitch about God for a few hours would be therapeutic.
What’s the deal with the fiddle?
The devil went down to Georgia and fiddled up a little kid.
Let’s just say that theatre renditions willfully misconstrue the concept.
By most accounts the devil is a lot of talk and very little (physical) action. If anything he fiddled someone else to diddle a little kiddle.
I grew up partially in the south, and the devil tales from there told a story of people constantly getting over on him in the forms of bets and contests, the devil doing a monkeys paw type wish/curse, and it being turned around by the receiver of the curse/wish to ultimately being a good thing. Like a very awkward super hero whose power is to grant wishes, but has to lose to that person in some way first.

Why does the universe or anything exist at all?
How will the universe end?
How did anything began existing?
How do you cure aging, next years loto numbers, so, how is it in hell is it as bad as they say?
Curing aging will make it worse.
No because you cured it. That can’t be that hard to get 😁
Overpopulation. An eternity of Trump running for president again. Countries saddled with dictators who never die.
We’d have to solve a whole lot of other issue, of the kind we’re proving incapable of addressing right now, without the benefit of having the old guard die off and giving a new generation a chance. Plus, all the fucking extra amount of people putting more load on an already strained ecosystem.
We’d have to implement Carousel, but good luck with that: it’s already almost impossible to evet get a senile senior’s licence revoked in the US.
All your points are kind of fair to be worried about, but they have also all being debunked.
Overpopulation? Were having an underpopulation chrisis in the west.
Trump? You already have him! Making billions of people suffer didn’t fix that already.
Etc.
What’s Carousel BTW?
Developed countries often have flat or negative population growth. Even so[ the population of the US is still growing; we gained 1.2 million people between 2020-2021. However, it doesn’t matter, because most of the peopl in the world don’t live in “the West”. There are 300M people in the US; India, alone, has a population of 1.4 billion. India’s population grew by 11.2 million in 2020-2021.
The total world population grew by 68 million in 2020. Where in the world did you hear that we’re having an underpopulation crisis in the West?
Yes, we have Trump. But someday, we won’t. We won’t have Putin, or Kim Jong Un. Old age, and death by it, doesn’t guarantee that a country’s leadership will get better, but for some populations it’s their only chance.
Europe and Japan.
Are your +1.2M also not immigration?
And yes everyone isn’t in the west but eventually they’ll be developed nations too and then people have less children.
You’ll have another Trump of Reagan or whatever anyways, it’s a democratic problem, not something being old solves. Doesn’t stop either if the two USA pretenders eh.
Curing aging doesn’t make people immortal or something, it just cures that particular disease. Like we have cures for lots of other diseases.
Idk who down voted you btw.
Japan is not in “the West.” It also has a relatively small population; it’s only a third of the size of tye US, and less than a tenth of either China or India. Germany’s population is flat, but it’s even smaller than Japan. France’s population is growing. Spain’s is declining slightly, but its even smaller than Germany - half the population size! Overall, the total rate of population change in the combined EU is a fraction of the number of new people the US added, and a drop in the bucket compared to the total growth of the overall World population.
Were you suggesting that anti-aging technology should only be available to people in the wealthier countries? Because those are almost the only ones with flat or negative growth. If everyone has access equally, then there will be a population explosion and crisis, because the countries adding the most people to the world right now are also the largest - by orders of magnitude.
TANSTAFL. What’s the price?
What’s TAnStafl? And there is no price
TANSTAAFL= There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
Thanks Adam, Never Shoot Teradactyls Around A Frozen Lake
Can I really ask 3 whole questions? Oh … two now? Fuck!! goddam. Ok, ummm… gotta be something real important, something impactful… Should I invest in Tesla?
I should have just asked who has the hottest content on OnlyFans. At least I would have got something for my money.
Why is your father such a childish fuckwit?
Why does he let you act equally/more powerful?
Can I have an Audi RS6 Avant with unlimited fuel and tyres?
I feel like the answer to the third question would be the pendantic, “you sure can!” answer.
Noping the hell out of that situation. Hehe get it?
- What are the numbers for the next big lottery?
- What companies should I Invest a big portion of winnings into to become the richest person in the world?
- What are the names of the specific people I will need to target to either befriend/influence/kill and, which do I need to befriend/influence/kill to take control of the planet?
I’d probably squander these questions because if it’s the Christian devil, I’m not sure whether or not to trust him or not.
-
What’s my name?
-
What’s your name?
-
Did you know I’m asking these questions because I don’t know whether or not to believe you?
-
My questions are conditional, so if 1 is no, no more questions, and so on.
- Wanna fuck?
- Round 2?
- Round 3?
Will you please fuck off and take the Trump voters with you?
So many people assuming The Devil would answer honestly.
TIL Satan is a genie.
Also, in these games, the folks going for “more wishes” are shooting low. The only wish you need, which also defeats the monkey’s paw, is “grant me omnipotence.”
But: this is Satan we’re talking about. The Deciever, The Traitor. Not only is this a monkey-paw situation, but a Christian Satan is going to actively try to decieve you.
I don’t think I’d even trust his answer about whether there’s a cost, so I’d pass on the winning lotto numbers, too.
I’d say, “no thanks” and immediately convert to Catholicism, start going to church, and lead a clean life from here on out. If the orthodox Jews are right, I’m fucked anyway since my mother isn’t a Jew, so Christianity is the best bet.
Omnipotence without knowing how to control it could very easily instantly annihilate you, whether physically or mentally through complete ego death.
Omnipotence means you can do literally anything, and anything includes having perfect control of your powers without knowing how to use them. It also includes the ability to continue to interact and exist as an omnipotent being even if you were completely, utterly, 100% destroyed.
If you were omnipotent, you could just decide that every action you take will benefit you in some way and then, it doesn’t matter what you do, you’re doing the right thing. You could even just choose not to lose yourself in your newfound power.
You don’t have to know how to do something to do it when you’re omnipotent. You don’t even have to know the option to do it exists to choose that option. Because omnipotence means the ability to do literally anything, even when it makes no logical sense.
Of course, none of this makes logical sense. It doesn’t have to, because omnipotence isn’t a scientific concept or anything. It’s a word we chose to define in a contradictory way. It’s like if we made a new word that means “somebody who can do things they’re completely incapable of doing.” Not even really a paradox so much as a word whose definition makes no sense.
The weirdest part to me is that an omnipotent being must, by necessity, have the ability to create a being with powers exceeding omnipotence. Something more powerful than them. But they must also have the ability to overpower their creation, otherwise there’d be something they can’t do, and they would therefore not be omnipotent. That’s just a mindboggling thing to think about.
I thought if Judaism is correct gentiles can avoid Gehennom (purgatory) by following the 7 noahide laws?
Dunno. I haven’t studied it; all my info comes from informal conversations with a jewish friend of mine, a long time ago. I could also be misremembering what he said.
It’s something I would look into, if faced with confirmation of a judao-christian afterlife, especially if I could concurrently cover multiple bases. I’d look at Islam, as well; could be they’re not mutually exclusive. I dread to think of how limited my diet would become… but faced with an ensured eternity in hell ¯\(ツ)/¯
