That's interesting, but I don't think of God that way. He doesn't want us to be harmed or to harm anyone.

I always figured God gave us free will and then fucked off. But hey.

Funny in a "that's so stupid" way or funny in a "I like how he worded it" way?

If I were a god, I think I'd create a bunch of matter, then create all the laws of science, then watch throughout trillions of years as very little happens, but I'd either have a lot of patience (coincidentally not patients) or I'd just sleep through nothing happening until something cool happens. But that's not relevant at all, except to what Obdurate just said, which I find funny in the wording.

I used to go to Church because I was forced. I stopped going in my late teens. But Sunday school was the BOMB, hell yeah.

I do not attend any of the religious services, no. However, I have gotten involved in one of the nearby churches, whether it's as an "employee" at the "yard sale" that's had every now and then, or helping with a toy drive. It was just something to do before I entered college.

Though I haven't actually attended religious services at a church, I have, on several occasions, watched mega church pastor Joel Osteen's program on the T.V. I enjoy hearing his sermons, especially when he's just giving practical advice and relating life stories without talking about God.

As I pointed out in my introduction, I'm irreligious.
