Why I want to be emperor of the world.

I can't start fixing anything until I actually am emperor of the world. But to be perfectly honest with you (because if I ever am emperor of the world, I intend to be an honest emperor) I think your hard drive is going to be pretty low on the priority list. Maybe you should just find a computer repair shop.

 

If such a thing as a god existed, I'd probably want to be one. And if I were god, I would definitely fix your HD.

Two Mormon missionaries once told me that if you live a perfect life, you get to be a god afterwards, and you can make worlds, etc. They also said that the god of this world, was just some guy who lived a perfect life on another world, and so got to be a god. Ad infinitum, into the past and future.

I have not lived a perfect life. I've done a few good things, and a lot of bad things. So I won't get to be a god in the afterlife. Unless, of course, the Mormons are wrong, and everyone gets to be a god in the afterlife.

Good luck with your system restore.

 

Buddha is not a god. The Buddhists do not really have a god. Buddha is just a guy who figured out how to end the cycle of reincarnation. Of course, since reincarnation is as ridiculous as all religion, Buddha solved a non-problem.

Sorry. I'm in a bad mood today. I hurt my leg yesterday and could not jog this morning. Jogging is my morphine. Or my Prozac. I need it or I'll be in a in a bad mood.

 

I can't imagine why you say that. We have a divine creator, and a creation myth, and heaven after you die, and we call gravity "just a theory" and we even have a beer volcano in heaven. I think we qualify as a religion. The only difference between Pastafarianism and other religions is that all of them are wrong and ours is right. :rockon:

 

I am not a religion. Pastafarianism is the religion. But, yes, Pastafarianism differs from other religions in only two main ways: It promises a beer volcano in heaven, which no other religion does, and it is the true religion, which no other religion is. In other words, we're right and they're wrong.

But what's significant about my religious policies if I were to be emperor of the world is not the specific religion, but the simple fact that if everyone in the world believed the same religion (regardless of which!) there would be no more religious wars or religious discrimination.

It does not matter which religion I would decree. It matters only that I would end all religious dispute by decreeing that everyone believe the same religion. Pastafarianism happens to be an easy religion to adopt because you don't have to cut your genitals or refrain from eating certain foods on certain days and it does not force children to listen to terrifying stories of hell (Pastafarianism has no hell) and it is not prudish about sex, and you get to look forward to a beer volcano in the afterlife. I don't see what you dislike in all of this.
