I know, Cin. I feel the same way. They always have an excuse for their god, but in my eyes, he's inexcusable. They want him to fit this image they have of him in their heads, but he fits nothing because he is nothing. Just a figment of the imagination gone viral and horribly wrong.

While all the happy christians in this world open their expensive gifts, eating their hearty christmas suppers, and thanking their god for making them so especially blessed, there are so many people in this world who will wake up to a dead, emaciated corpse of their child. There are children getting raped by 50 tourists a day behind a curtain. There are people like my neighbor who have cancer that is treatable, but are going to die anyway because they can't afford medical insurance, and have been abandoned by "the greatest country in the world".

And after the meaningless pieces of plastic have been removed from their packaging, and the left overs are thrown into the trash, they still manage to convince themselves that god thinks they deserve their awesome circumstances. They still cling to a god that would supposedly bless them, while so many others suffer, and they can still sleep at night.
