What word describes your relationship with God ?

@rachel11 Why?

well, its a lot like Santa Claus for grown-ups@rachel11

@Serenitree because of what happened in my life and the rest of the world

@rachel11 I understand.

I misunderstood what you were saying. But you've explained it well.

@Serenitree yeah but christians havnt helped with my oppinion

@redredred Except that eventually the people who use the
story of Santa Claus tell the kids that it's all a fantasy, but the God sellers don't really want anyone to stop believing in it.

@rachel11 Of course not. Or am I misunderstanding again. Do you hate the idea, But still believe the story? Or are you a non believer who hates what people's idea of God gives them the incentive to inflict on others who don't have the exact same idea as theirs?

Personally, I don't like the terrible things that some people give themselves permission to do because their idea of God tells them they are the righteous ones. I see no righteousness in religion.

@Serenitree i dont belive in god and what believers say thinking they sre helping but are not. The one that angers me the most is when the found out how i lost the use of my legs and my twin sister they say “well god has a plan for everyone” so he planned forher final monents alone scared and in pain and me to constantly be in pain and unable to walk. Its stupid

@rachel11 Absolutely stupid. Shit happens, and to try to make you feel there is anything divine about it, is to belittle your grief and pain. I am so sorry you have suffered such devastation in your life, and shame the people who think they can bring comfort by saying this was a deliberate act by a loving God. It's all so self serving. I say, if you can't offer any practical help, just walk on by.
