Anecdotes about the shape of your morality

[LastPoet]

I remember how I used to pray to God to fix the problems I came across and how I promised complete devotion in return. I was actually foolish enough to do so about 4 months ago.

A person who I thought was a friend let me take the fall on a marijuana-related incident (my first offense ever, for anything). It was a small amount of weed and everyone I talked to (including lawyers) said it was no biggie and it'll blow over. I end up getting deported from the U.S. in my junior year of university with a 3.5 GPA having to explain to my conservative Arab dad why (I had a mental and emotional melt down for what seemed like ages).

I believe I am a moral person. I never discriminate, I like to help the needy, and I don't deceive people, so why was God doing this to me? If this was God's "plan" for me, then I didn't want anything to do with it. I continued to study on my own, did some research, and realized how deluded religions and religious beliefs are.

Oh man, that is sick! But that had nothing to do with gods, its just stupid laws made by men. I mean really? They have alcohol legal, that is like 10 times worse than weed. And what gives any government the right to play nanny?

And there is no gods plan, just the agenda of rulers and clerics to controll the masses for their behalf. In the case of catholics, with the added bonus of choir boys to fuck.
