If there is a God that has his hand in human life, I am greatly disappointed. Our bodies are susceptible to time and decay. Our children are susceptible to the decisions of our corrupted adults. Our adults are corrupted. Life is in great part what you personally choose to focus on.
When I think of things like the sun and the Ocean, like my Daughter, my wife..........sex, the beach - I think: "well done, if there's someone up somewhere to receive this compliment."
When I think of things like the partisan spite and hatred on message boards, like needless water shortages, wars, death, destruction, fossil fuels when cleaner are available if we could only work TOGETHER as a species, and drop being spiddling nationalists........etc....... - I think: "If anyone is up there, poor job homey."
GT, you identify the problems caused by man, and you identified the solution, resolved my man. Then you blame God for it.
If instead of giving us free will, He could have mapped out every step we take, and we would curse Him every morning for not letting us go where
we want.
Every good gift is from God. Man doing evil is Satan's pleasure.
Like taunting God with a fist in the air and demanding He kill, or else. That's what Satan likes to see, and would have loved it if God had performed in the manner He was told to by Joe.
Joe, just as your parents loved you enough not to kill you when you pissed them off, your Father in Heaven loves you more. He's used to our screw ups, our arrogance, our IQ.
You are His little lamb. No Shepherd would kill His lamb for following the refection of green grass into the still water and nearly drowning. He'd save that lamb. Because He is merciful unto our iniquities. Your still beating heart is proof of that.
You eliminated Him, because He loved you enough not to function based on your lack of understanding. To which I say, "way to go homey!", cause He could have, and didn't. And I'm glad.
