A short time ago, I held back making a post in which I was going to thank god. I was going to thank god for not existing, or existing and failing to ever show one shred of evidence that it existed or gave a damn about anything good. I was going to thank this non-existence for making me strong enough to take control of my own damn life and fix the things that need fixing alone, since they weren't there. I held back that smartass post.

Well, today I'm in work and I'm processing the removal of someone who was severely injured in a rollover in an SUV. They are uber uber xtian, and all their correspondence is littered with xtian quotes etc. She thanx god for the two big miracles in her life - getting her job in USDA, and surviving this awful accident. Huh? How about "Fuck you god for giving me this shitty job in a slaughterhouse, the inability to strive for more, and then shredding my body in a 1-car accident without even having the decency to allow me to die an instant painless death?" How about "Take me into your kingdom, biatch, coz I mofo earned it already!" The perspective is just hilarious. I mean I can see it either way, but it seems a more negative situation than a positive one.

Or God makes or lets bad things happen because it's all part of His divine plan.

Personally, I think that constant divine intervention is a crutch. If God exists (I'm not about to rule it out), He only intervenes once in a great while and generally lets things go on their course and watches us make our own decisions.

Basically, Christians are like Nazis at Nuremburg who are "just following orders", but don't realize that their führer is a random number generator.

And if god does exist, who says that he is a good and loving god. I'd see us all as a chess game quite frankly - and some pawns must fall in order for the game to be won.
