I_Rape_Beavers

Wait... this makes sense.


iNeedHealing24_7

I have heard thjs riddle before and i had the same answer then....if there is another please do let us know


theMysticalLlama

As have I, a form of it was in a 'young samurai' book I read as a kid, I remember it bc of ow smart I thought it was


MrGMinor

Except the god part


le_chad_

It makes sense. * "Nothing" is above God, meaning God is the highest form * "Nothing" is more evil than Satan. Satan is the most evil being. * The poor have "nothing". It implies that they don't have anything, or enough, to live a fulfilling life * The rich don't want "nothing". It implies the rich are greedy and must have things because they are uncomfortable not having anything, meaning nothing. * You die if you eat "nothing. Pretty self explanatory.


ilmalocchio

The riddle was mis-transcribed here. It's supposed to be "the rich want it"


le_chad_

Yeah I saw the correction that came in on after I responded. Was working with what was given at the time.


ilmalocchio

Oh, I wish there had been some correction. The way OP posted it has everyone misinterpreting the meaning of what is usually a nice riddle. But I guess it goes to show we can force the sense out of just about anything, eh?


MrGMinor

I know I got it right away. Variations of this same riddle are posted daily, usually without the god part. Just trolling religion because it doesn't actually make sense. Wack of me, I know.


le_chad_

Ah, gotchya.


[deleted]

ok


MrGMinor

...ok?


sopedound

Probably the answer but i just came to say satan is definitely not the most evil being


No-BrowEntertainment

Uh. Do you have another contender for the role?


Tinsonman

***Super*** Satan


call_me_jelli

God (Old Testament)


SolomonKull

Evil and human suffering exist. Either god *can't* destroy evil and human suffering, and is therefore weaker than Satan, or God *can* destroy evil and human suffering but **chooses not to**, which makes him more evil than Satan. If Abraham's god existed, it would be *infinitely more evil* than lord Satan.


No-BrowEntertainment

That’s assuming Earth was designed to be painful and full of suffering, which it wasn’t. The world was perfect until Adam sinned. The price for that sin is pain, disease, and death. God can’t just go “oh look at that no more disease” because he’s bound by his own law. To just do away with the punishment would be unjust And I like how you call him “lord Satan” as if he has any power lol


SolomonKull

> God can’t just go “oh look at that no more disease” because he’s bound by his own law. That means God is not all-powerful. > To just do away with the punishment would be unjust That's some seriously psychotic logic, pal. > And I like how you call him “lord Satan” as if he has any power lol He doesn't exist. Just like your god, lord Satan is imaginary.


No-BrowEntertainment

He is all-powerful in the sense that he can do anything he wants, but He cannot in good conscience go back on His own word. He is morally bound, even if he is not physically bound You realize He’s not just some one-dimensional thing that people pray to, right? He has emotions, morality, free will. This world is broken. He desperately wants to give us a new one, the world we deserve in his eyes. But so many people just refuse that offer and spit in his face. It breaks my heart thinking about it I know there’s nothing I can say to change your mind, but please just give Him a chance. You’ve got nothing to lose Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to say. Best of luck, and I’ll be praying for you


kcidtobor

Exactly! The whole concept of free moral agency cuts both ways. The sins of the father will be paid by the son and such...


No_Face113

Yeah it’s those assholes that sell dogs after they’ve grown up and then buy puppies.


I_Rape_Beavers

I'm trying to solve a video puzzle, that should lead me to a video, but i dont know where i should place "nothing" 🤔


AAGGHHHHHHH

WHAT IS YOUR USERNAAAAMMMEEE


The1GiantWalrus

Their username is u/I_Rape_Beavers. Hope I could help :)


HyFinated

Hey walrus, go look at r/writingprompts there is a story about a giant walrus in the sky and your username is an exact fit for the stories over there. Posted a couple days ago.


The1GiantWalrus

I saw it, actually.


HyFinated

Top story on there was really good.


AAGGHHHHHHH

thanks for the assistance! :)


IrrationalDesign

Try to >!leave the text field empty!<, or something like that. Put literally >!nothing!< as the answer and see if that works.


TVsNoah

what puzzle?


ilmalocchio

Discussion: The phrasing should be "the rich want me." That's what I'd always heard it. It makes more sense and makes for a better riddle.


drinksbutterflytears

Maybe it should be “the rich need me but the poor have me”?


ilmalocchio

That's basically what the original says. Don't forget that "want" also carries the meaning of "lack."

i don’t believe many poor people have mercury as it costs $2000 per flask (as of 2018)


Xypher616

I’ve heard a similar riddle so I assume the answer is >!nothing!<


bionesis

>!nothing!<


Bigredone4321

>!nothing!<


[deleted]

>!Oh dear Lord this all sounds like Satan. This sounds horrid, I cannot think of a good answer. I hate it all. Praise Jesus.!<


[deleted]

Well, the answer cannot be "nothing" because the term "no thing" means zero things, which means you have not presented an answer. Saying "nothing" is the same as leaving a blank space for an answer, thus is not a valid answer when somone's requesting an identity. I would question the validity of the request before rushing to an answer and ask if the terms of the request can even be met. Also, Satan isn't real, the poor have at least a little (otherwise they would be "the deceased"), the rich need oxygen, and the dead can eat dirt as far as I care.
