Please, don't say he doesn't work like that, don't be a hypocrite. We worship god and pray he will protect us from harm, and our families, and everyone else, but I don't see that happening. And if god is so just then why is there so much genocide and killing in Africa. Why is Dafur happening?Why is Iraqi civil war happening? Why doesn't he stop this?
O I forgot already, were only human, he lets suffering happen here because no one's perfect and then we can appreciate heaven right. Bullshit. If I'm going to appreciate heaven I want to see something that makes me think that there is a heaven. Don't tell people have saw it when near death. When near death people have saw lights, there lives, and even clowns. We see what we want to see, not what god shows us.
I just can't understand how there could be a god that would say, preserver and pray and you will be all right. Hah. If that is true what about all those people dead in Africa. They prey. They cry. They suffer through more every day then all of us lucky, stuck up shits here at home do in a lifetime. Why do they suffer? Like I said they prey. O but they don't pray to our god, they prey to there god. So they don't get the benefits. Hold up a sec. I thought God gave everyone forgiveness and protection, but not them. How does this work. So is God partial to only those who believe in him, or does he really love all people? Prove it if you can.
Honestly speaking think of the Holocaust. 6 Million dead Jews. Over 10 million dead total. So don't tell me that it was just a challenge. I thought or God was a peaceful god, a God of wonders, not death. Yet that's all I can see at that time, hundreds upon thousands of dead Jews, THE FIRST PEOPLE TO EVER BELIEVE IN GOD. 6 million of them. DEAD.
The christian religion is so hypocritical to real life. I Honestly have no idea how someone can look me in the face and say they have never questioned their religion. I know we need hope, everyone does, but don't try to pass it to me. I don't understand how someone could be so blind as too not question their religion. All you have to do is look around to see how the things you here in Church, Temple, Or Mass are contradicted by what happens in the world.
Just think of the Islamics. They all believe in Allah. Which is god, the same god we worship. Yet he would willingly let his own followers fight each other to death in a chaotic civil war then do something about it. What hell does he just sit up there and play poker with Buddha or something.
Finally my last point. Someone might say, "Well the devil does all that stuff not god." OK then lets think, I don't see how Satan- who served as an angel under god- could outdo him this much. The bible says Jesus walked up to Satan and took the keys to the afterlife from him, if Jesus- the embodiment of god can do that, I'm sure god could take care of him.
Just understand this, I'm not an atheist, I'm a strict Lutheran who believes in god. But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to question religion. So say this, I challenge anyone who reads this entire thing or just skips down to this paragraph to think about what they believe, and not just believe it, but find the holes, ask questions, because as far as I'm concerned, someone who doesn't ask questions about it is blinded by their own religion. Blinded by God.
