Quote:And then there is the second absolutely horrifying thought that people could actually believe that god cares about the outcome of their silly little game, but doesn't care about starving children - abused children - raped children - homeless children - sex slaves - - - all of the people who are crying out to god for help, but NO . . . he's hanging out at football games and helping my friends find their car keys. Right. Sure. They don't care about people who are suffering, they only want to feel that they're SPECIAL.
I don't think they actually think that way at all.
I think it's just that they don't really think about it at the moment.
Like I said, it's easy to become wrapped up in our own lives and make a big deal out of things that are very important to us but don't matter at all in the grand scheme of things, and certainly aren't as important as starving children in Africa or whatever. We're all guilty of this at times.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
