Best HFY Reddit Stories: Godless (r/HFY)

[@lonelyboy9852]

"They shot his corporeal form with an orbital rail gun" that sounds like a human thing to me.

[@tjunn936]

I've listened to this story multiple times and that line kills me everytime

[@jettdoesrandomstuff4892]

It has a “humanity saw god and shot him with a shotgun” feel

[@Chazz_K]

I'm pretty sure if actual gods made themselves manifest, even the most atheistic humans would at least acknowledge them, if still refusing to worship. But I have to admit, that line "They really wanted to make it clear they were the few" gave me a gleefully evil grin.

[@tryplot]

in a world where gods are known to exist, an atheist isn't one who does not believe, but instead is one who doesn't think them worthy of worship.

[@mage3690]

The few, the proud, the human? That sounds familiar.

[@ravenouself4181]

I refuse to deem a being that allows suffering to occur, a being which causes most of that suffering, as worthy of worship.

[@andrewerickson6690]

Those "gods " draw power from belief I believe that gods are kids with antfarms

[@charimonfanboy]

It's not the atheistic humans who would refuse to believe, it's the religious ones. Someone who believes "I don't think there's enough proof that Gods exist" is more likely to believe if shown proof than someone who knows that "their Gd is the one and only true divine" But as Chazz_k says, belief and worship are two different things. Why would a species choose to follow a God who 1, failed their previous followers so completely. 2, would turn its back on their own followers and offer its favour to their killers. and 3, who could be killed or reduced by human weapons.

[@Zedyne]

Ah, I remember this. Spite is a rare thing, there are only so many species that can feel it and execute it. Combine that with the divine... Well, good thing (for all the xenos and their flimsy 'gods') that Humanity decided to be isolationist.

[@bluedragon5676]

Death is the supreme god of humanity and we still fight Death till the bitter end and I am sure Death would have it no other way.

Death is also our friend and follows us always threw our lives it is also the only one that stays with us until the very end.

[@noctusdoesthings]

@@BrimstoneZV Of course. Should a caring father not want his children to become greater than himself? And should they fall, would he not be there to carry them into the night no matter the pain?

[@paxamericania5923]

Death would be the god if were we extrmely violent to the universe. For we are death destroyer of world's.

[@soffren]

@@noctusdoesthings suddenly "Children Of Death" is my favorite synonym for Terran.

[@scotteggert9820]

Humanities, creator did the one thing that he could to let us survive. He gave us his spite of all things god-like! When our ancestors first climbed out of the trees it was in spite of those that hunted us. For in our spite we decided that we were no longer prey. And as we were not prey, anymore, then those that hunted us were our prey. With that one spiteful decision, everything fell before Humanity. So anger not Humanity. For it isn't that they have no god. It is that they are their GOD. May mercy have pity on our souls.

[@1rotzy]

Out of the night that covers me Black as the pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid It matters not how strait the gate How charged with punishments the scroll I am the Master of my fate I am the Captain of my Soul -Invictus, William Ernest Henley

Ah yes "Each one a God unto themselves"

The last time God tried to walk among humans, we nailed him to a cross.

[@ElainCorrine]

He was trespassing on human territory, got caught out, decided to scoot back to Egypt, turned to leave, tripped over that rock over there, yeah that one there with all the blood on it, fell into that barrel of nails that pierced his hands and feet, the barrel then started rolling down the hill, hit another rock, launching him through the air and nailing himself to the cross..... I swear I heard him say "oh heck, this is gonna suck."

[@stevensutton3577]

Humanity and humans ARE God's and Goddesses. So be wise and do not anger the billions of gods and goddesses. . . If you know what is best for your people. You will leave us alone. For we have the one thing that you don't have. SPITE.

[@jacobaugustine6249]

So in other words our God is cruel and spiteful just like us man do I love my Papa he raised me right

[@mycroft16]

He gave us the greatest gift... the ability to think amd do utterlyvfor ourselves. He gave us a world that would make us strong, make us smart, harden us, amd also teach us kindness and friendship. Hebtaught us that we don't need Gods. We learned to be traders, creators, artisans, whatever we wanted. We have the central drive that underlies all other Gods. But that gift of spite lets us stare at impossible and not be intimidated, but get to work making it possible. We don't bow down. We don't fall back. We don't give up. We run into burning buildings. Our medics rush onto the field to save the fallen. We look for danger and we conquer it. We find unknown black pits and we grab a rope and a flashlight and explore them.

[@mycroft16]

To spite the universe. Yeah, that's us. Oh, that mountain is impossible to climb? Watch me.

And if it should prove to be impossible to climb, we just remove the mountain all together.

probably cause people keep watching it.

[@christhopervargas2275]

there are several reasons, errors on audio/video, changing details, and another youtuber explaines that for accident he discovered that uploading and reuploading a video quickly will get to all subscribers since youtube dont tell every sub that a video was uploaded

we can says in a sens that humans are gods themselfs because in many human mith a godesse laid their body to be the very land upon wich humans walk, so we can consider humans children of said godess so who need one when you where born from one ?.... ahh wait remember gaia? she is not a god, she is a titans mother of gods. i belive Earth at some point in our history was refered to as Gaia. so we are up there....
