Yeah and as you stride through life with your invisible sky pixie, it's no doubt "end times this" and "end times that". That's the trouble with your truth - you have no hope for the world.
Yet as you walk, there will always be a fear at the back of your mind - it's in your doubts - believers always have their doubts. And when you encounter such a crisis of faith you'll have to face up to wondering what happens if you fail? Then the fear comes....fear of Satan, fear of eternal damnation and fear of hell and its demons.
But is losing your faith that bad?
Just think how you'll be free from your prudish, judgmental, smiting god.
And when a cute little girl dies of leukaemia you'll be able to sympathise that it was rotten luck without attributing her death to the action or inaction of your god.
My cute and beautiful niece died from a massive heart attack at the age of 16 weeks from endocardialfibroelastosis.
It is a genetic heart disease. It wasn't rotten luck and it wasn't an inaction by my God. It wasn't sympathy it was a sharing of grief. But a week or so before the incident I was with my sister and her baby at her home. Lovely day and a good one by all accounts. When I left to go home for my evening meal as I got to the door a voice said to me. " Go back and kiss the baby, you will never get to kiss her again." Baby was sleeping peacefully and I kissed her and left.
I never got to see her again two weeks later early hours of the morning police knocked at my parents home with my sister clutching babies blanket. Despite brave attempts by her and the ambulance crew they could not save her.
No one not even babies dad got to see her again or kiss her goodbye. My sister said no one was to see her that she was to be kept in funeral home till funeral and coffin sealed. No visits. No one could come and kiss her goodbye.
Two years later another niece my sisters daughter died. A little boy died in womb. Then two neices born with heart disease and a boy severe breathing difficulties. Both neices had been sent home to die. Both anointed and both still alive with children of their own. The heart disease does not heal. One niece it has completely healed now the other still has to take it easy.
Very beautiful has three children and her own business.
You have no idea when it comes to the power of God what he can do and change.
Don't tell me about what I will be able to do with others. My daughter special needs complications since birth and breathing difficulties all through her life. My son has breathing complications for the first two years of his life.
My husband was severely mentally ill and nearly lost his life on three occasions the last requiring dialysis which wasn't really
sure would work. I have spent all my adult life caring for others. Mother, children and siblings children.
Not a moment to spare for myself till my son turned 18 two years ago and he helped in the evenings allowing me some times for myself a couple of nights a week.
Judgmental freedom and smiting God. You need a lesson in life which concerns looking after others instead of yourself all the time. Taking the time to know others instead of passing your judgments out on those who hold a faith which gives them the strength to do that you would not survive. You talk about things from an utterly self centred point of view. One unrealistic in the way you view others in ignorance.
Then there's respect for mankind! That'll be a new experience for you. We all know how your belief system brainwashes you into seeing humanity as inherently flawed, wretched, unworthy and oh-so-lucky to be tolerated by your deity of choice.
My humanity has me facing my problems head on. Taking care of those and not requiring or needing respect to look after those I love. My faith is not about what others think it is about doing that which as human beings we all should do.
I see the no flaws in humanity I see flaws in individuals like yourself who have no humane kindness or responsibility in attaining the truth about others before judging them. My faith shows me that my Father God, loves all.... even those humanity deem unworthy and unlovable. Mankind makes their own suffer... my Father asks them to stop hurting and to begin loving them all.
My view is nothing like yours. Who is really brainwashed? You brainwash yourself if you really believe your own rubbish and statements.
Anything else?
How about respect for the world? Ditch your ju-ju and you'll realise that animals are anything but soulless meatbags magicked into existence for mankind to exploit as they see fit.
Just think - you'll no longer be the religite, clinging to dogma and superstition while all the time harbouring a deep hatred of reason and logic.
You mean become like you... Soulless, judgmental and thinking the worst of anything to keep from accepting that people with faith are people who believe God loves everyone, including you. I don't have dogma and superstition. You do... re-read what you wrote and ask yourself where you learned it... You could not walk a yard in my shows let alone a mile. You would never survive as an atheist.
