A bad understanding of perfect

shit happens. i know. can't avoid it. no one can.

that "shit" often translates to pain. and everyone feels pain -- physical, mental, psychological.

what could be more convincing that the probability of a sky daddy pulling strings from above is a bogus notion?

an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent "god" chucking out pain sans a thought, paints the picture of a pretty shitty god.

i know, i know. throw the story of job in my face. it was god teaching a lesson of obedience to job.

yeah. well, job was a fucking idiot.

you just gonna sit there and let god take a shit on you, to impress SATAN of all fucking fantasy-creatures?!? come on. not only would this make us slaves, but it'd make us slaves to something that can't even be seen, heard, touched!

yet, that's their reply -- that putting people through PAIN is a test, a test handed out by god.

to be exact, the bible-thumpers say:

"job did not understand why god had allowed the things he did, but he knew god was good and therefore continued to trust in him. ultimately, that should be our reaction as well." (link)

thanks. thanks for TELLING me how my reaction should be. thanks for trying to be the boss of me.

uh... fuck... no. our reaction should be:

SHUT

THE

FUCK

UP!!!

and STOP talking to invisible sky daddies. they're... not... real...

no one living thing deserves to feel pain. no one.  yet we all do.

say what you want about pain, but there is no way a "god" -- a loving, forgiving god -- sees something that is good, and after seeing something that is good and taking pride in it, all of the sudden slips gears and says "fuck it, lemee just fuck up some major shit right here!"

that...

that just wouldn't happen.

but.

it does.
