Have You Ever Cursed God?

[emjay]

Good job emjay  That was very brave of you! I hope it will help you let go of that last bit of Christianity.

That's very kind of you, if I'm wrong then I take responsibility and I'll try and find you and save you too. But even if there is a place where God punishes people, he'd have to be a sick, twisted evil being to punish us just for insulting an aspect of him. If God is that messed up, we can't trust him anyway.

If an ant cursed my name, called me every horrific thing under the sun, I think I could handle it. Especially if I knew that the ant thought I wasn't even real. I wouldn't feel the need to punish it at all. I'd find it funny. What kind of petty egomaniacal God would get so wound up by what we say? The whole thing betrays god's entirely human nature, because he's a human construct. And he's a shitty human at that.

It made me cry but it was a long time coming... something that needed to be done.

I could never truly love a god who has to promise rewards and threaten punishments to get his way. That's just the way of an insecure, controlling human, and as you say, a shitty human at that.

Job's wife advised him to "curse god ad die."

Have you ever just said something to the effect of "Fuck you, god" just to show theists that you would not die?

If so, was your remark followed by the slightest crackle of lightning from on high?

  Did the theists around you run for cover?

Did your luck change?

Do you think cursing god publicly is the sine qua non or touchstone of a true atheist?

God damn you, God!

Ooh, I like that!  I did a quick search and came up with this:  http://www.cafepress.com/unpardonablesin.28043023

No clue whose it is and I'm not at all affiliated, I just like the idea.

I actually cursed God a lot right before I actually deconverted. I was under a lot of stress and issues with my personal life, and realized that God wasn't helping me. It wasn't until after I cursed him that I actually began to realize that he didn't exist. Sure, I had thought about it frequently through the years, but I never really admitted it to myself until that point.

Glad that I did.

I have never cursed God. Many times I felt like it, but then I'd just break down and cry and tell myself he'd make everything alright.
now I see the insanity of it. but for some reason it'd feel silly to curse at him now

Yeah, I haven't cursed him since I deconverted, since he doesn't exist (in my opinion). There would literally be no point in it.

Exactly. It'd feel like talking to myself. which is exactly what I did for a long time by "praying".

Mhmm. Though I do find talking to myself to be a pretty good way to relieve stress.

Just not when it is directed at cloud daddy.

Sometimes I like to talk to myself using the voice of a character I admire. Like they're talking to me and giving me advice 
I sound insane. 

I am insane.
