Have you ever bargained with God? Like, if you exist, reveal yourself and I will believe, or if grant me this request, I will do this? Come on now, let's have it! lol

I have, when I was little, I begged for God to take years off my life and add it to my parents. If he is holding me too it, my lights should be out quite soon... lol

I never really bargained. But I did ask him to proof he exists a few times.

I did when I was little, before I was even a Born-Again Christian, I'd say things like"God if you keep my parents from grounding me on the weekend, I will never lie again". Boy things we say and do when we are small. Shocked:

I can't remember ever bargaining...or even believing that I possibly even could..
I suppose I never saw us all as chess pieces that could be moved here and there and things be neatly tied up to our liking.
Even as a child.

When I was christian I thought surprisingly little about god. Sometimes I bargained in ways that would give me reassurance. But really, the more thorough thoughts came with atheism.
Of course there was the occasional unanswered talk to god in church and at home, but as it stayed unanswered, the longing for knowledge and the longing for answers became more powerful than any belief in god ever could.

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labour. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.
