You'd think a 'god' would be a better communicator, wouldn't you?

Indeed, it would be easy to shake my fist up at God whenever I run across a "bible difficulty" as they are frequently called, and say: "God! You are a lousy communicator.

In fact, I have done that on several occasions. LOL, of course not with regards to bible difficulties, but with other difficulties I have had in my life. In fact, I think it is very telling that we as humans often times do blame God when things happen in our life that leave us feeling hurt and abused and abandoned or misunderstood. I see this happen across the spectrum, not just with believers but unbelievers as well. It seems that there is something within each of us that makes us feel like God owes us a carefree, comfortable, cozy, all warm and fuzzy pleasure laden existence here on earth and whenever cold hard reality comes crashing home, we feel like we have been neglected by God.....

Do you agree with anything I have said?
