Has Chris lost his faith in god? -

[renomakicwc]

A long time ago, I asked this question. Now that Chris has stopped coming to church, I ask it again.

For years, Chris used to believe God was on his side, the same God who foretold of his future of a happy marriage with his fling of the week and a child who was always a girl and always white. The same God who he believed would smite all who trolled him, even for the smallest thing. And yadda yadda yadda.

But of course, as the years passed by and Chris grew older and more bitter, it appears he has begin to finally notice something: God never helped him at all throughout his life.

He always ended up giving him false visions into the future, never dealt with the trolls that trolled him every single day, and he didn't even ruin Snyder's life for kicking him out of the GaMePlace for all these long years.

And now, after all that shit he had to suffer while God ignored his cries for help, it appears that Chris has given up on God, no longer wanting to go to church. But, has he REALLY given up on God? I would be surprised if he hasn't by this point.

I think it's kinda like when he stopped believing in Santa. When his personal gains were not fulfilled, in his mind he was let down and therefore, said entity cannot possibly exist.

 

[Saney]

It seems that way, going off of that flier or whatever it was he gave for Rocky to give out. It seems like he's blaming God for his terrible life. So yea, I'd say he's given up on God. What CatParty said seems pretty accurate.

Chris has faith in God the way a lot of kids (and even a lot of adults) have faith. They think God is a genie in a bottle and he has to grant wishes to them on command. Needless to say it's an immature view of God but what else do you expect from a guy like Chris?

Chris isn't an atheist (and I doubt he ever will be) but he thinks God is a troll and is being mean to him because God isn't giving Chris what he wants. IOW, even the Almighty needs to give Chris what he wants or be labeled (or mislabeled) a troll.

Chris may lose faith in the hope of God giving him everything he wants but he will never not believe in god. Years of church have made god a reality for Chris; god is real like the sky is blue.

 

[Donald Duck]

I think he still believes in God, only now that he's notice that God never gave him his promised daughter, office job, and wife, he's decided that God must also be a troll too.

I like to picture how this revelation would be translated in his comic if he still drew them and since it is God we're talking about, he'll naturally be the ultimate force behind all the villains/trolls of CwCville. Comic Chris will wake up and discover the awful, world shattering truth that God was really Count Graduon all along! Dun dun dun!!

 

[Anchuent Christory]

I think the more appropriate question would be what exactly his faith was based on in the first place. He seemed to have a very warped view of religion in general, and I feel like he just believed in God because he was supposed to.

To Chris, God was never anything more than one of the imaginary pillars that supported his delusions and belief that everything was going to be all right in the end, and he would have everything he wanted without actually being required to do anything himself.

 

[c-no]

I believe Chris may have lost faith in God. He'd see the big man as nothing more than a troll who gave him problems. Back then, Chris would see God as a being who was like a genie. Now, Chris sees God as one of those dang dirty trolls. ]P

I think he stopped believing in God the same way he stopped believing in Rocky. He's no help so Chris won't talk to him anymore. I don't think Chris would ever go so far as to deny God's existence though - leaving aside that he never lets go of anything he believed as a child, he'd probably see it as leaving too many unanswered questions. "If there's no god, who created everything?" "If God doesn't exist, then who's in charge of heaven?" Etc etc.

That last one makes me wonder though, does he still think he has a shot at Heaven?? If he even believes in the afterlife at all.

 

[Kosher Dill]

His place in Heaven is pretty much guaranteed. He's done a LOT of good deeds like holding doors for people.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Yeah, but the Christianity Chris seems to subscribe to teaches you make it to heaven by having faith in Christ and not by works. Not that Chris realizes this, of course. He sleeps through the sermons like he slept through some of his classes, I'm sure.

 

[QI 541]

He lost his faith in Santa, and God is pretty much a super Santa to Chris, so I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't believe in it anymore. Although his church message makes it sound like he believes God is actively trolling him now.

 

[Kosher Dill]

The doors thing is from one of the mailbags, when someone asked him that question. Not that it should surprise anyone that Chris isn't a doctrinally sound Protestant. I mean, he doesn't even know the third member of the Trinity apparently.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Yeah, I know.

It really isn't that unusual for someone to think they would make it to heaven by doing good works. Still, someone who seriously thinks they're going to heaven because they occasionally hold doors open for people, oh my Well, I guess that's something nice we can say about Chris - if you're carrying a load and need to open a door, he might open the door for you because he thinks it's a good work

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

He thinks God is a troll. As others have said, he thinks God is his personal servant, he doesn't realize that true christians are subject to God's will, and that he would have to actually serve God in order to get God's favor.

There's that modern-day parable about a man in a flooding town, and he climbs up on his roof to wait for God to rescue him. Several boats swim by and offer him a ride, and then a helicopter comes to offer him a ride, and he just tells them "no thanks, God'll rescue me". Then the flood kills him and he asks God wtf? God just says "I sent you two boats and a chopper, what else did you expect me to do?" I wish someone in a position of relative authority (Rocky would be best, though we can't expect her to be competent) would ask him "Chris, how can you blame God for not giving you a perfect life when you have chosen to do nothing with the opportunities he has given you?"

Perhaps he's a Gnostic now

Chris will believe whatever suits him best. He isn't tethered by common sense or a coherent or cohesive view of reality. His ego and his lack of comprehension will eventually tell him that every sentient creature, natural and supernatural, is a troll and out to get him. He will never stop believing that God exists. If the supreme creator and ruler of the universe (Earth, the moon, the sun, and Australia) is picking on you just because He's a JERK, then you have a pretty good excuse to say that your problems are beyond your control. Chris would like nothing more than that. "Nothing I can do, might as well eat McDonald's and play vidya."

The frustrating inconsistencies in Chris's mind mean that he will still insist that he will get his God-Promised-Ground Up-Sweetheart, because that's something he feels he's always known, it suits his desires, and he is always right.

I can imagine Chris meeting up with Jesus after dying and the latter asking the former: "What have you done for your fellow men?", and Chris saying: "Those JERKS didn't deserve anything from me for taking away all the pretty girls leaving me with none to choose from!", leaving Jesus in a state but, well, him being Jesus and all, he just breathes in deeply and calmly tries to make the manbaby understand until Chris'tard angrily shouts at the Lord: "OH YEAH!? um, well, YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING GOOD FOR ME! YOU NEVER GAVE ME MY PROMISED SWEETHEART FROM THE GROUND-UP OR MY PRECIOUS CRYSTAL! YOU JUST SAT BACK WHILE THE TROLLS KEPT ON SHATTERING MY AND MAKING ME FROM ALL THE THEY MADE ME ENDURE, YOU ]P !!!" and other bullshit until the Saviour of Mankind himself can no longer just stand there enduring all the blasphemies coming out of the mouth of the adult autistic child and just kicks him out of Heaven for the sake of all the other heavenly souls and their sanity.

Sometime later, the Creator of Sin and Father of all Lies himself ends up becoming fed up with all of the manchild's never-ending whines and decides that his soul isn't worth possessing for the rest of eternity and just kicks him out of Hell.

With no place to go, Chris's soul begins to wander and lurk around Earth while annoying the crap out of other poor souls in his own situation, like Jack from the Jack-o'-lanterns, until the end of times and beyond.

On another forum someone thought that both St. Peter and Satan wouldn't want his soul, so they'd send him to Islamic heaven because they're always short on virgins
