Are you mad at God?

[noname223]

I can remember as a child when I prayed. I had OCD. And my mom beated me for it. She wanted a "normal child".

I lost my faith and I felt better afterwards. During my first major depression I was so scared to go to hell. I had many nightmares. I became atheist. Now I am more of an agnostic.

I even considered to become religious. Or to start praying. But I really noticed I had psychosis (without religious delusions) that when I become religious it ends up with developing religious delusions.

So in many instances it is better for me not to believe in God.

 

[Griever]

I'm mad at myself, I could never be mad at God

 

[DivineSpark]

God didnt fuck up my life, I did, because I chose to follow someone else....

 

[SVEN]

No, I'm pretty much self made and responsible for most of my problems through life.
Which always reminds me of possibly Lee Marvin's greatest line ever; at the end of the film "The Professionals" when the rich rancher calls him a bastard. To which he replies, "In my case, Sir, an accident of birth ... but you Sir, are a self made man."

How could I be mad at something that doesn't exist? Well, if you think God does exist. Then I have a bridge that I want to sell you.

I can understand people who choose to practice or follow certain faith. It can give purpose, strenght and comfort in this mad world.

If God exists then yes, I think they're monstrous. I realise that telling them so- if we ever meet, maybe even just thinking it will likely condemn me to hell but, I hope I can be true to myself and be honest.

I just don't understand why they set the world up like they did- unless they wanted to witness their creations suffer. I abhore that kind of 'love'/ teaching style.

I also worked out it was so much nicer not to believe in God. The reality of there actually being one given what we are able to witness, the various religious texts left behind makes me terrified.

I wish I actually could be a convinced atheist. I lean that way certainly but, I'm not entirely sure, unfortunately.

When I look around (life on our planet) when I look at my body. I like to think there is designer. I dont think we are cosmic accident.

Yea, I used to think of them as idiots, now I'm mostly jealous of them. Wish I could believe that there was a greater purpose to all this... wish I could believe there was someone out there keeping tab of all my suffering, watching me and empathizing with me.

I'm sure it would feel so much better if I "knew", no matter how badly I fuck up, there is always someone above looking at me, following my footsteps with intense scrutiny and unconditional love. But I simply can't... it just feels so stupid and I hate it.

Sure, there are some incredible things. Really beautiful things. There are also creatures that have to do monstrous things to other sentient beings, simply to survive. Stephen Fry explains it best:



I don't think it's reasonable to just cherry pick the nice things and either ignore all the other stuff or, find weird (in my view) justification for it. How can the capacity for paedophilia- lead to anything good?

I don't really get how people can say humans did all the bad stuff off their own back. Surely, we had design flaws built in to make us capable of these terrible things or at least, some are cursed with the very strong temptation to do them. Animals also do horrific things to one another and us and, us to them even more. Why create the possibility or need for those things?

Also, ironically, in my own experience, I've generally found atheists to be much kinder, much more generous and loving people as opposed to religious people. (That's just my experience.) So, if I'm banished to be in the company of atheists I've known, I shall consider myself blessed.

I support your freedom to choose your own path in life, but I just cannot be an atheist. Not after what I have experienced in life.

If he exists, of course, for creating me. I capture her with my reactive pussy so he could see his work and get electrocuted️

 

[Karera]

I do not believe in a God, and I would not, never, allow for the excuse of other people's actions to chalk it up to being God's plan, it's a sick joke that people have faith in such a tyrannical, maniacal, fictitious deity, and that my suffering and the suffering of others is somehow justifiable in anybody's eyes. Everyone was always going to suffer, people who've been abused and induced with trauma all their life and have made the decision to end their own will only know that suffering, I never wanted this, I don't want your paradise, I don't have any reason at all to believe in God, and nobody should. I resent and disdain my own species, not God, people who feel blessed by something they cannot explain seem to always know who else to blame but those who they worship.

 

[Aergia]

Yeah, I am pretty pissed at him, but that's mostly because I had to grow up and still live in a religious household—despite not existing, He's managed to punish me my entire life by proxy.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

No, I don't even believe in God.

 

[SilentSadness]

The existence of a perfect being is logically impossible, because perfection cannot lead to imperfection. Otherwise it would not be perfect. So the question should be: are you mad at a devil if they existed. My answer would be yes because there's no justification for the suffering we experience. Pretty much all of my problems were caused by someone or something else and all of the good things I experience were achieved by me.
