God sucks!

Hello and    Purplelady. I'm a relative newcomer here myself. 

[Palehorse]

It's alright if you believe in God. I do too. Just not the one humankind has been trying to ram down our throats for centuries now. . .

Thanks Palehorse, it would surprise everyone if they knew how open-minded I really am!!!

Now did you mean "you" me or "me" me?

[Purplelady1040]

What you want to know, Palehorse? Do I tan au natural or do I have tan lines?

Well, you all are probably going to bash me good but I do believe in God but I also think that God helps those who help themselves. I believe in other religions and I was raised in a Protestant home, went to church every Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday, went to church camps and even attended a Christian college and then converted to Catholicism when my husband and I married. I left the Catholic church several years ago because quite honestly I don't believe all the Catholic church is cracked up about.  I still have beliefs ingrained in me but I am open enough to believe other things. The Kentucky snake handling preacher was a dumbass and got what he deserved.

  I came from a religious family, religion was shoved down my throat.    After much research I believe there is no god.  If there was a god he is one of the most piss poor invisiable assholes in the universe.  It tickles me how the believers believe in prayer      When prayer can get their god to replace a lost arm, a lost eye, any body part lost in any way, I might change my mind.   

  I go to a large hospital rehab center three times a week and when I see the poor children, brain damaged crippled in their wheel chairs damaged for life.    What kind of a god are you worshiping for him to let this happen to all of the children.    Children all over the world.

Well, I can see where you would think that but I have seen a God who has placed a child in a mother's arms and allowed her and her husband the opportunity to adopt when they couldn't get have children. Yes,  I have seen special needs children and God only gives those to people who can handle them and I have worked with those children, they have taught me more about love and life than one can find possible. My mother passed away from cancer in 1993, she fought a good hard battle with it and yes, I blamed God for letting him take a woman who never smoked, drank or did any kind of drugs to allow this to happen but I also know that disease doesn't discriminate towards anyone. I am not saying God is fair and just because at times I don't think he is but I also don't see the need to blame him for everything in the world. Look at this way- a drunk gets in a car, mows down an 18 year old and kills that person, who is blame God for letting the 18 year old get killed or the dumbass drunk?

Oh, I like to give Locutus a hard time too.  I seldom get the chance but when I do I go for the gusto.
