This. You come here, Hunter, exchange a few posts with people and then presume to know what they are thinking and feeling - my own husband doesn't even try to tell me what I'm thinking and feeling. I'll be damned if I'm going to listen to some stranger tell me. You know nothing of substance about me or anyone else here. Only first-year psychology students or christians would think that by reading a few posts here, they could know someone well enough to tell them the secrets of their hearts.
I don't hate your god. What I do hate is the presumptive, arrogant, preachy, condescending attitude of his minions who think they can tell me what to think, what to say, and how to live my life just because they have replaced their higher brain functions with pages from a musty holy book.
Read the following slowly so you will understand it: I am not sad. I am not angry. I am not hurting. What I am is fed up with believers who think that their belief gives them the right to try to butt into my life.
