[@mycontentcreation5264]

I image is because of people are now saying that is bad and he’s just tired and frustrated because of everything he has done for humanity. And they never accept that he’s better then us because he’s all powerful, all knowing and we have to obey him. But as we see he’s not a bad God he still cares for humanity and will not give up on them. In fact I like to see that version of God

[@brandenmarcum430]

@@mycontentcreation5264 yes. I’m not in a religion, I’m speaking based off of what the Bible says and what Christ teaches us))- God has every reason to hate us and destroy us, hell… he did drown everyone in a flood because of it, yet he doesn’t. Why? Because God loves us. He realizes he can’t change our nature, yet he’s all knowing so why would he intend for us to evolve with this nature? Because it’s what he wants. If a man can be kind and loving with a human nature, then God will welcome him into Heaven with open arms. God wants us to go to Heaven. He provided everything we need to go to Heaven. People think God is uncaring because of all the bad stuff happening right now, but if people simply can’t help themselves then they won’t be punished for that.

I think Peter’s problem is that he doesn’t always think about how his actions affect others or how they feel about them. Being mentally retarded doesn’t help. Ultimately it’s not that he doesn’t care about his family it’s that his personality gets in the way of that.

[@XshadOtakuX]

Is it weird that I think this is one of the best fictional portrayals of God I've ever seen? He did and said everything he needed to to get Stan to teach *himself* the lesson of the episode. Even his demeanor and attitude seemed tailor-made to counteract Stan's disposition in this moment; laid back and casual, but still in control, to make Stan truly feel like his efforts were going to amount to nothing. How more all-powerful and all-knowing can you get than knowing exactly how to control a desperate, armed control freak like Stan with nothing but words? And no, the irony of Seth MacFarlane playing the literal Voice of God is not lost on me. Still, this is honestly one of his best written performances if you ask me.
