Think about it...
I have had many misfortunes laid upon me recently, but we won't go into that. I've spent quite a while pondering my religion. The religion I was taught since day one, sent to a Christian school until high school. Church and Sunday school every weekend. Now that I think about it, there is no way in hell I can submit to this "wonderful God"
Just from a logical point of view think about it. I'm sure this is nothing new, as many people have thought about it.
1. We all live in sin because of Adam and Eve. So God let the lives of all human kind rely on these 2 people? And the whole apple tree thing, that was a good idea...make one of the tastiest fruits of all time the thing they can't eat. Oh yeah, and God knows there happens to be a snake wondering around tempting people but thats cool...its like placing a giant red button in the middle of a garden that says "DO NOT PUSH". Thanks God. Oh yeah since hes God he knew it was coming too, thanks for not sending in an exterminator for the snake.
2. Every day millions of people suffer from disease, poverty, death. Millions of these people don't know God. So God can just send millions of people to hell for not knowing him...what a loving God.
3. Its all just...unnecessary...all of this...why can't he just bring us to heaven? Was he so bored in his unlimited life and existing since before time was time that he had to make all of this crap happen just to entertain him? To make all of these things in his image to worship him for making us and creating sin and sending his son down to die for this sin and thank him for it? wtf seriously.
4. Well letsplaybrick, were not able to understand it yet. We just can't imagine his plan for us, we need to have faith! Well God, knowing how us humans are, just give us a book to go bye. Yeah like he knows alot of us are going to just believe these tall tales. I've asked God for a long time now to just be with me, just feel his presence, just give me peice of mind or something. Nothing at all. Why does he have to make things so difficult?
5. But we have to all go through bad times to appreciate the good times! No not rly. Aids, Cancer, parkinsons, alzheimer's. Yes we really need this horrible stuff to appreciate the good. And this is just what we humans understand as good times, for all we know there could be good times without bad times.
6. What kind of cruel God makes everything thats fun bad for you? Drinking in excess, awesome, yet kills the liver. Weed! sweet...except too much causes lung damage. Food and sweets that tastes good, mm, well your gonna get fat and die. Sex, always good, except when you catch an STD. God I hate God the more I think about it.
I can think of tons of more examples. I just want to turn people away from God to see if he would do anything, or try and kill me before I turned people against him. Probably not. Whatever. I will continue to pray, ask for forgiveness for my sins, and call out God everynight. A nice mix between respect, and hate.
Whatever didn't read God Bless.

I feel the same way you do. I went through a rough childhood and it still pains me.
