If god existed then he watched for 5 years and did nothing to save me. If he existed then he stood deaf to my desperate pleas as I was betrayed and brutalized by my own husband. If he existed then he supposedly approved a book that told me, as my husband had not committed adultery, it would be a sin against god for me to leave him. If god existed then it would have been his betrayal and abandonment that gave me the strength to finally save myself. There is nothing merciful or graceful or loving about watching people suffer whilst you have the means to save them.
But alas, there is no god. And that is the reason I can rest peacefully and fearlessly.
Losty, I am so sorry you had to go through this. I did not know this about you. I am so happy you are out of that situation, and can enjoy your life now! I hope nothing good happens ever for that sorry excuse of a man.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
