Aug23 God Is An Asshole
Category: Ramblings
 

Really if you think about it, Yahweh is a complete and total asshole. Why is it that he only chooses to help some? I heard a story about a woman walking alone at night who was almost brutally raped. She prayed not to and was able to walk down the alley past the rapist. Later she was called into the police station and was able to identify the man(who had raped another girl). Afterwards she talks with him and asks why didn’t he rape her. The rapist tells her, “How could I with those two men walking next to you?” I guess the moral behind it is God sent angels to protect her. My objection to the story would be the fact that someone did infact get raped. Why did that have to happen? Did that girl not pray, or was she a sinner? Are all people who are hurt and not protected by God sinners and deserving. I have heard of good people who are killed, robbed, or hurt. Why does God choose not to help them? It really makes Him an asshole to not help some people. If he is omniscient He already knows who is going to be raped. And lets just say He is also omnipotent. That means God has the power to save and protect anybody and any time. The story seems to be passed on because people like the idea of always having protection in an emergency. Yet most fail to see the fact that someone who very likely did pray was hurt. Why does God let good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people?

    I agree.

    "Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened on to you..."

    Well, I seeked for so long and so hard, I knocked and then pounded on his church in desperation.

    God is... a cruel asshole.

    I did not ask for this so called gift of life.

    Me again. My life is no picnic, but I'm all right with it, I've had my share of **ck up, and I blame no one but myself for whatever the consequences they are. My mother was a warm, kind, sweetest person. She worked hard all her life, was nice to everyone, and yet, that good for nothing so called "God", had to take her life away like that. Yes, there is a god, god is an asshole, no question.

    It's been almost a year since my mother passed away. I was praying with all my heart at the Christmas Eve mass for my mother in 2008, who's health was in decline. She called me the day after Christmas saying she's feeling very bad, so I rushed her to the hospital. 10 days later, she's gone. I've been angry, feeling let donw, screwed, betrayed ever since. I finally realize the fact that all those years I was worshipping an asshole.

    That's a sad story. Sorry to hear that. It seems tragedy does cause
    many people to become disallusioned with the church though. I find it
    hard to see the master plan in a driveby that ends up killing a four
    year old child.

    Wouldn't have been tampered with. God could have struck the rapist with lightning, or just stopped his heart. Better yet, could have miscarried him, since God supposedly knows everything.

    ugh the argument "why does god let bad things happen to good people" has already been addressed. If you refuse to acknowledge your opponents side then your not actually having a rational discussion, you're just talking to yourself.

    God doesn't control people. She got raped because a man decided to rape her. If god prevented that woman from getting raped, then wouldn't that be imposing his will on the rapist? It's been made obvious to everyone that the position is: God does not control people.

    Either accept that not ALL arguments against god work, or ignore the opposition and have a circle jerk.

    So, if there is a God, I think most reasonable people might agree that he's at least incompetent, and maybe, just maybe, doesn't give a shit. Doesn't give a shit, which I admire in a person, and which would explain a lot of these bad results. -George Carlin
  • God doesn't exist. The end.
  • Name
    That story didn't make sense. How would she know who to identify if she wasn't raped?
  • godlessblogger
    She saw the man in the shadows. Sorry I wasn't clear enough.
  • Oops! it's * I like your point of view! in the first line.
  • Bad example to show God's protection... like your point of view. None is God, as to be perfect, and worst giving examples; once I've been told how could it be in God plans that you were raped off? .. I guess I have no a good answer for it neither, at least not a satisfactory one, just that I'm still alive, and love me so.. that fact won't hurt me anymore, and that I'm stronger now to help others girls or boys who were also abused.. maybe that's a good cause? I really don't know. No matter if you pray or not, in this world exists many bad people, so to blame or congratulate God about it, doesn't get much sense..
