Two Sentence Horrors.

The title should be the first sentence, while the body should be the second.

Around the world, there are no reports of anyone disappearing or suddenly ascending while plenty of the devout and desperate commit suicide by the thousands.

Would make the whole thing rather pointless, wouldn't it? A god that sets standards so high that none of his creatures can live up to them is quite a dick, isn't he?

And even knowing that, a statistically devastating number of our species would still fall all over themselves to fellate such a being for the mere chance of favour 🤷‍♀️

A being that creates everything and is in control of everything does not necessarily mean that they are benevolent or malevolent. Maybe they created everything on purpose ... maybe accidentally .. maybe as a joke ... maybe as an off the cuff thing they don't care about ... or maybe they created everything just to satisfy their boredom with eternity. Just because they created beings, it doesn't necessarily mean that they love or like their creation. Maybe we are just another version or iteration from a long line of creations they've made and they just don't care what happens to us. Our existence is meaningful to us ... but it might not be meaningful to the creator.

Well, any "god" that condemns their creations to eternal torture, is a dick in my view. And it doesn't matter if that affects all or just some of them.
