I don't believe or disbelieve in God but I don't hate you for believing. For me I have listened to The Bible up to Psalms. I find it interesting. I need to listen to the rest of it. I have a hard time believing though because of all the bad stuff I see. Take my Grandma for example. She believed in God and now she has alzheimer's. She can't even wipe herself properly. Or take my mother...she has always been abusive. I have asked God to change her but she is still the same. I also find it odd how people thank God...God didn't destroy my house in that tornado. However little Ms Betty house down the street is fucked...I guess she didn't pray hard enough. [/quote] Snails and stars do not expect fairness and neither should we. However, God does intervene from time to time. [/quote] Sorry but I've never heard a snail or a star talk. Also it still doesn't explain why God would turn a woman from a functional adult into someone who has to be watched in the bathroom because she can't wipe and will play in her own feces. A woman who went to church on on a regular basis. Or why God would let a woman abuse her children on a daily basis. If God does intervene from time to time then why do you think he doesn't all the time? Ms Betty must have been a bitch that's why her prayers didn't work. [/quote] I watched my grandfather go through alzheimers for 12 years. Every single day my grandmother would go to his care home and feed him, take care of him, change his socks make sure he had clean clothes. I often asked God why. This was one of the best men I'd ever known, a complete gentleman, WWII vet and Godly man. I always asked why, I couldn't understand. Until I saw the changes in my grandma. Loving him, taking care of him everyday, even though he didn't remember her. Then I knew. God send us difficulties in the ones we love so that it brings out the best in us. Its all for our good. Praise God, it is right to praise Him! [/quote] I.e. god punishes you by allowing pain on others, which in turn purifies you... Stockholm syndrome anyone? [/quote] Not allowing, comforting, caring, loving during the pain. As my mother was dying my atheist brother who swore he would take care of her, ignored her most basic needs like a warm pair of socks while he sold off all of her belongings. [/quote] That was your brother, not a set if beliefs ordained or not ordained by some man made deity... [/quote] You sound a little bitter about that... Had my brother embraced those beliefs he would have taken better care of my mother as he pledged he would... [/quote] Nope. Not bitter at all. You are projecting. I would advocate counseling, not theology. [/quote] I love counseling, the psychiatrists are always stunned when they talk to me, I get invited back all the time for free to they can learn more... [/quote] Ok... [/quote]

I can feel the hate for me even before I start down this road BUT...
I see the hand of God in everything around me and it is glorious...
So if you don't believe in God what more than anything is your reason for what you believe?
