Chris and his current view of God -

[timtommy]

I think Chris' attitude about God hasn't changed. Chris has always viewed God as more interventionist than most religious people do (I almost wrote most Christians there, but that would have been confusing). This attitude led him to believe that God could be called down on his enemies. Any god who could be summoned like that would probably have to be involved with day to day things.

I think the way it works in is mind is:
He wrote on the X-box display. One of three things could have happened. No one working in the store would notice, they could have noticed and understood/not cared, or they could have noticed and cared. Some force of randomness selected which one of these three would happen. He believes in an interventionist God, attributing any chance or luck to this deity, so it must have been God. God chose what would happened to him, so Chris being banned was God's fault. At this point in the reasoning, his own actions are so far back that they are practically irrelevant.

The same applies to the car accident. He backed up without looking. Maybe he knows he shouldn't have done it, but he has probably done it a bunch of times with no consequence. Whether or not it has consequences is determined by whether or not there is something behind him. He has no control over it, so it must be luck or chance, which he knows as "God". Even if he knows he got the ball rolling, after he did God chose the outcome. Therefore God is the proximate cause of his misfortune.

^So basically, Chris believes God is at fault for his problems because Chris does whatever he wants and God doesn't swoop down and clean up the resultant mess for him.

Which is how he looks at all the people in his life too, so I'd say it's pretty accurate.

To Chris, god is nothing more than an ethereal hunting/attack-dog that he invokes to go out and return with rewards (china), or punish those who upset him. Since the dog has repeatedly failed to heed Chris's demands, Chris is currently very displeased with it.

That's how big his ego is.

God, from Chris's point of view​

So he sort of views God as the supernatural version of his Loyal and True Fanbase, which has also failed to live up to his expectations.

Everything has failed to live up-to his expectations.

That's the ultimate irony that is Christian Weston Chandler.

True, since the dawn of time.
Compelled to live his sheltered life.
Now everyone, can always see.
His filth and pure hypocrisy.
He'll mass-debate, won't change his mind.
He'll tell you what he's known all this time.
GOD HATES CHRIS CHAN! GOD HATES CHRIS CHAN!

Chris is angry at Gawd for not giving him some sweet N fresh China.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

If you mean in the sense that Southerners tend to be more Christian, they also tend to put more emphasis on hard work and personal responsibility, something that doesn't fit Chris' philosophy.

I've lived in the south my entire life and have never seen any evidence of this ever. In high school practically every other friend I knew had a parent that was either on food stamps or welfare or disability, and a great deal of them had that silly " pull yerself up by yer bootstraps!" attitude and were really loud and angry about people that lived off government checks as long as wasn't them, so I think that comes down more to a "do as I say and not as I do" thing.

Yeah I remember reading an article that said that the top 10 or 12 states who pay the least amount of income tax are all mostly red states.

Considering how much of a shit hand God has dealt Chris, I would not be surprised if, sometime in the near future, Chris becomes an atheist.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

I doubt it. The atheists don't want him, so he'll be an unchurched Christian.

Considering how much of a shit hand God has dealt Chris, I would not be surprised if, sometime in the near future, Chris becomes an atheist.

I think he can deal with being in relationships with people he does not like. What I don't think he can handle is no relationships at all. Like in Chris's mind god may be a JERK but at least he exist.
