Take the example of a sick person. The disease ate their body, and they see the whole world living it up while they are stuck in their bed or chair. Disbelief becomes more reasonable way to satisfy the anger.
Bashing "God" for the misery of the day seems like the perfect scapegoat. But aren't we ignoring the fact, that our existence here might not be for pleasure?
In other words; who said that we should enjoy this life? who said that we must satisfy the stereotype and live the predefined role dictated by the society?
Other organisms have it worse; I mean look at bugs, look at a roach being eaten by ants, or a spider with broken legs at your bathroom.
I wouldn't bash God, I would bash life.
Now just imagine your picture of God IF he had indeed appeared out of a lamp and granted you wish after wish.
Who then in that senerio would be the servant and who would be the master?
So why then do you think God does not grant wishes?
Understand there is a vast difference between prayer and petition/wishing 99.9% of you has no clue as to how to pray especially if you think a wishing cermony can be included ina formal prayer.
Again if you are throwing wishes at God day in and day out and he does not want to be treated as a genie, why do you think He does not verify himself to you by granting your wishes?
