Prayer Baby drowns in church s baptism tank
What?
No platitudes?
So, which god decided to kill this baby?
I guess whichever God rules over stupid teenagers.
13yo's make mistakes. She'll never forget what her mistake cost their family.
As I said - horribly sad.
Yes, it IS horribly sad, and
you were the one being an ass about it, and about what kind of God would do that, which was a pretty stupid question, meant to inflame. I may not be a "believer", but I sure as hell try to keep in mind that people have their beliefs for reasons, and being an asshole to them only fuels their fire. This kind of shit happens, God or no God.
The death of the baby is what I care about. THAT is more heartbreaking, more horrible than anything anyone will ever have to bear. NO matter how old one gets, the death of one's child kills a part of your heart and it never ever heals.
The day that my own daughter died was the very last day I ever even considered giving any of their gods more than a moment's thought. If I had believed in a god, that was the day I would have lost that belief. If gods can't believe in babies, why would or should anyone ever believe in them?
The bible thumpers are here ever day, screeching and preeching about how wonderful their merciful god is. They go on for miles and miles, always lecturing about how their "god" is all-knowing, all-seeing and yet, when it came time for their god to take care of the baby they say he created, he turned his back. Should I be grateful that he didn't just wait and give the child leukemia later? Or hand the child over to a vicious molester or murderer?
The so-called christians here use the worst possible language. They are angry, bitter and full of hate for other human beings. For the most part, I ignore their never ending threads lecturing atheists about what they should do in order to get into their imaginary "heaven".
Make no mistake. There are very few actual Christians posting on this board. But, real or not, let them believe what ever they want. For myself, I believe that was a terrible accident and I stand by my criticism of any god who would kill a baby in his own house - and, for those who SAY they believe in a god, that is exactly what he did.
If you believe he exists, then you also have to know and accept that That god waited. He plotted and planned and he waited for just the right moment and then he killed that baby and blamed it on another innocent child.
