Disappointment in God's idea

Disappointment in God's idea
It took me some time to figure out why so many people are so strongly disappointed in religion. It's indeed depressing to face a God's idea where he is either your Master for whom you are something of a slave(Got very ill - praise the lord, reason for the sickness is your sinfulness). Or his "filtering system" will have to respond in extremely disproportionate way.

And sometimes believers seem disappointed when I rejoice in His Holy Words condemning those evil women who are desiring to desecrate His sacred spaces with their foul menstruations.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I meant to say that people have no other choice but to reject supernatural God completely, because people came up with insanely crazy version's of it, which are unbearable. Because the more insanely cruel God is - more profit from trembling followers.

The religious could be walking saints and I still wouldn't believe in fairy tales.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I am no more disappointed in a Super Hero sky wizard than I am in Yoda or Darth Vader. But bad logic and naked assertions certainly frustrate me, sure.

Hmmm . . .

Interesting though, if they'd try.

Children aren't tortured, especially for very looong time.
