You're not arguing with me, in this response, at all. You're acknowledging that if god curbstomps a child to give you the lollipop you prayed for, you'd call it good...
.....for you.
That implies that you know it might not be good for other people. Or..you know..just good. I don't think that you're speaking authoritatively about what people deserve. Just because you have some asshole boyfriend who's ...sometimes.... good™..... to you, that doesn't mean that this asshole being an asshole to other people means that they deserve it...or don't deserve better. Hell, it doesn't even mean that -you- don't deserve better.
But that's all academic, since it's not what you actually believe, is it? Am I saying anything that you aren't already aware of?
