I don't see why an all-loving all-powerful god needs a universe. Can't he just love his navel?
Um, no, that would make him an all-selfish god.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I wonder/suspect with an ALAP that we are the universe in his navel.
Mooooooom, Kat's in my brain again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How can an all loving god not love his navel? I dunno. Needing to create something to love strikes me as self-indulgent.

But Cass, it's so pretty and well organized in here.

Hannah Woody, for instance, came away from the institute's seminars confident that abolishing the Department of Education is not just a Republican goal, but also a Christian imperative.

I don't know where you are but no way that is my brain. Unless you organized. In which case, thank you.

When you give a gift, is it normally all about you or the person you're giving to? Why do you see it as self-indulgent?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or just play with sock puppets.
maybe we're all sock puppets but don't know it...

Who is the creation of the universe to benefit? Why is a universe better than no universe? Who suffers from its lack of existence?
I bet ALAPG's mum is tired of telling him to stop fidgeting and to just sit down and keeps snapping at him to love everything like a good little god.

I catch up with 300 Natter posts, there is deep philosophical discussion and I end up debating whether we are sock puppets or navel lint.
eta: sock puppy? wtf?
