betta gives insight to God's apparent absence?

These puns are crappie.

At least they were created with fish that were not previously named. I’m none too pickerel about my puns.

These jokes are gilling me.

Enough puns. I think we’re tipping the scales.

Note that the theoretical He didn’t name us. Just sayin’ - after Fishie I, Fishie II, and Fishie III, I didn’t either.

I kinda fell in love with this thread when I first saw it because it was so cute and needed protection that I wanted to keep it safe. Another case of guppy love, I’m afraid.

Not to, uh, actually reply to the OP or anything, there’s nothing theoretically wrong with imagining a god that is disinterested in us. There’s just a problem with reconciling such a god with the Christian God, which is defined as being loving, and meddling, and various other things. I think if a person were to declare “I believe in a God that doesn’t care about us and doesn’t interfere with the world!”, that beyond a few queries of “why bother?” nobody would argue much with them at all. All the argumentive atheists would probably just clam up.

I think this debate is over.

Fin.

Never mind.

That would be a deist god, then? I can’t say I would have a problem with anybody believing in it (not that I know any deists) except that it’s a useless belief when taken as indisputable fact and in that capacity may prevent people from trying to think up more practical theories for how the universe works.

I’m just going to believe an a God of anchovies today, if that’s okay with you.

Two fish in a tank.
One of them says “How do you drive this?”

God is actually on holiday. I visualise this elderly bearded guy staring at a fish tank (probably with some elevator music going).
Meanwhile his Holy phone answering machine is full of unanswered messages, but God switched the beep tone off in the Middle Ages, so the prayers are just piling up…

I think it’s time to change the water.

At least get them an aquarium. I hate when they leave betta in those tiny little bowls.

Hey, if a fishbowl is good enough for Elmo, it’s good enough for me.

Where would one’s standards of a sufficient domicile come from. Would not the safety from predators and unregulated enivironmental extremes be worth the fishbowl existence?

(I’d insert some choice Thomas Jefferson here to counteract this bulldada)

Nope, this thread is as slippery as an eel.

i should ask salmon to mako list of good fish puns…
