Quote:The great equalizer is death. No one escapes it. Does it really matter when, where or how or who? No. what matters is that "it will" happen. Whether its a straving baby, or a mother with cancer, or the guy who got run over by a speeding bus today! "Why did God make that bus speed?!!" Why restrict yourself to "babies dying"?! We're all fucked! Right? Or are babies for added emphasis?-My god cursed us all to die so it's all a wash, it's all even.
So your death can be a doorway, or a hole in the ground. Jesus showed us the way out of our misery, and demise. But we get too caught up in our selfishness and anger.
He owes us NOTHING! Get that through your thick heads. NOTHING!
Quote:We owe Him our lives. And one day we will have to account for that gift! I want others to account for the gift of life I received. Beacuse it isn't about ME! Its about US!If we have anything to account for......then I fail to see why "he" can't be accountable for anything.
Quote:You want to ask Him why babies die? He will tell you He put YOU here to help them! That you watched and didn't lift a finger! And that all you did was complained rather than do something... anything to help them! But ultimately they are safe with Him now... or will be....he put the babies there too. I'm not supposed to worry about this though, because he let them into heaven with him as a consolation prize for being a runner-up in the game of life? All of this is starting to make god sound like the worst kind of motherfucker imaginable.
Quote:We have it in our collective world power to wipe out hunger, diesease and sorrow in this world. But we as a human race would rather: fight, accumulate wealth, and blame others and God for our own ignorance!
Right here, you and I agree on absolutely every single point. I think it's as sad and absurd as you do. I have a solution though. We simply remove religion. If no one believes in god - no one can blame him for anything. We'll be fixing our own problems and not hurting gods feelings at the same time. It's perfect!
