Most personally convincing reasons you don't believe.

[Joods]

I never said he was a genie, but when you are a child and you are taught that god is everywhere and that he loves you, then you start thinking it's a lie when he sees you getting beat with a belt every day for seven years and he does nothing to stop it. Or better yet... when your grandfather molests you for three years and again, that magical sky daddy who you've been taught to believe can watch over you and protect you... isn't doing what everyone tells you he can do.

Yeah. Some god.

It isn't about wishes, drip. It's about the bullshit indoctrination kids are put through and then when bad things happen, god doesn't do his supposed divine thing. It casts all sorts of doubt. Naturally, asking questions about why god never got me away from any of that was something I asked time and time again, but never got an honest answer to. I finally found the answer myself when I learned that it was all bullshit.

Do you think you were molested because your grandfather didn't love you?
Do you think you Were beaten because your father wanted you dead?

Or is it your belief that real love means that nothing bad can ever happen?

Ever watch Dateline or 20/20? If someone was murdered it is always the spouce. if not them then the girlfriend or better yet one of the kids.

First: Are you actually making an excuse for why I was beaten and molested by family members? Second of all - it was my mother's third husband that beat me. My father was too upstanding of a man to ever dare put me through that. Thirdly - the man that beat me stood 6 foot 2 inches tall, was a large, heavy man and the belt he used put welts the size of half dollars on my ass because the holes had to be reinforced with metal grommets to hold up the pants on his fat ass. He didn't beat my sister. He didn't beat his two daughters. He beat ME. On a daily basis. I was a small child compared to his size. What right does a man that size have beating a child of 10 who weighed less than 70 pounds? He was at least 350 pounds.

I was a child when these things happened. My beliefs then were nothing like what they are now. Obviously. Do not insult my intelligence by attempting to question my thoughts as a child and comparing them to my thoughts as an adult.

Dateline and 20/20 specifically select stories about murdered family members that focus solely on another family member that did the killing. That is NOT to say that everyone who gets murdered does so by a family member. Wake up. Your selecting two television shows and mentioning them here has nothing to do with anything being discussed. I didn't say anything about murders so your straw man of that is just stupid.

You have a lot of nerve Dripshit. I mostly tolerate your bullshit, but you have crossed a line and that is unacceptable.
