Does anyone else get irritated by people talking about God?

[Rising Phoenix]

Look into near death experiences to learn what God is really like. Even Alexander's book is pretty good.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

"God Helps Those Who Help Themselves" … So I will help myself to some N. LMAO

Thanks I thought of something a few days ago to put in there also but I was at work and I couldn't remember it when I got home.

 

[ctb]

I wish atleast satan existed

 

[CarbonMonoxide]

I appreciate the notion of each to their own.

I agree. I do believe in a God but I accept that not everybody does.

 

[Polka]

Unless you believe in evolution or some other mechanism then there must be a creative, intelligent force behind all this stuff.

So then the question is which of the 'Holy' books is true? If you study the Bible as opposed to becoming a Christian you will
learn than suffering is part of our experience here and we were told to pray for Gods will and not ours to be done. I hate my depression but I will
not rail against God because of it. One day I believe I will see the purpose of it.

 

[CrushedHopes]

I especially get irritated whenever people say that my suffering is a part of "God's plan". Fuck that noise. I believe in karma (because it struck me hard for all the bad stuff I've done), but as far as Yahweh (the Christian god) is concerned, fuck no.

 

[woxihuanni]

I'm sure I wrote on this thread before but fuck, it irritates the hell out of me. I'd just put all religious folk in a spaceship and chuck them out.

I don't mind religious people and their beliefs if they don't try to shove it down your throat, but I do agree they could be very fucking irritating when they won't shut the fuck up about their gawd.

In theory, yes, but unfortunately I am yet to meet a single religious person who doesn't overtly or covertly try to suffocate you in some way.

Welp. Before I became suicidal, I knew a couple of decent religious folk.

 

[cant cry]

I'm very bothered by people using their religious beliefs to justify doing something irrational, especially when it hurts someone else or they judge someone unfairly.

 

[Final Escape]

I used to be annoyed by it but then I began to develop a better understanding and I stopped feeling that way. Society needs to have moral education otherwise civilization falls apart. Many people no longer actually know what is morally right or wrong behavior because it's very blurred by the culture we live in. If u don't understand this stuff it's easier to enslave u.

 

[azucaramargo]

yes, it can be really annoying when people push God or religieon without really taking the time to understand you, feel your pain, empathise and just simply hold space for another human being that is suffering.

This is some damned good writing, Kid.

 

[passenger27]

The whole "God has a plan for you" line always irks me

"The Lord works in mysterious ways" makes me want to slap the shit out of anybody who says it. It's a pitiful explanation for pain and suffering.

 

[RecycledAtoms]

No! In fact, my faith in Jesus is the only thing that holds me together! Whether I am healed in this life or the next, I am okay with that because either way I KNOW I will be healed.

What DOES irritate me is the fact that MOST Churches today preach a "false Gospel" and literally WORSHIP the bible.

Every time you turn around someone says, "oh if you do that, you're going to hell". This phrase irritates me for another "off-topic" reason.

Ultimately, I have nothing to do with the man-made Church and I do not hold to the idea that a "book" is the all-inspired "Word of God".

So, no, my irritation is not with "God". My irritation is with how people portray Him.

 

[Woodnote]

It depends. I try to be respectful of everyone. So I don't mind it as long as they don't push their beliefs on me or disrespect mine.

 

[MisanthropicLycan]

I'd spit in the face of any tyrant God who allowed this type of obscene suffering to occur on a daily basis. How could anyone worship such a sadistic deity?

 

[LonelyLight]

Nope. People are entitled to believe whatever they want, as long as ALL views are respected. I'm catholic, do I care if anyone else is? Nope. Do I care if you believe in unicorns shooting rainbows? Nope. I'll respect that as long as you respect me :-)

 

[JellyDreams]

Yes, it's really fucking annoying. Any "belief" is entirely in your head. Praying, hearing things, seeing things, "signs". They're all shit you deluded yourself into believing

Couldn't have said it better!

 

[Reyki6667]

Most of the religious 'guignol' are so thoroughly brainwashed and to used to blind themselves from what reality is and mix imagination towards reality,and omit reality that they don't like from their brain.
Even science already already showed religions mistaken facts, with their low self esteem they are stil unable to see that all religious books stink of human imagination, lunacy, perversion, violence, narcissism, misogyny....
Religion is a Hella damaging drug.
And you just have to look at reality to see that the real creator is just purely insane.
I don't have any bias towards religious people,that is until they try to juxtapose their bilief to reality and shoving it everywhere at any occasion.

 

[Sweet emotion]

Sorry I get irritated when people talk about God or religion. specially now i stopped believing in God, he never heal my depression no matter how hard I pray for it!

OMG you're preaching to the choir baby. I was raised in an Italian family and was made Catholic. I went to CCD until I felt like I was being brainwashed and then I dropped out because I started thinking for myself. I hate when people say, God never gives you more than you can handle. That's obviously not true because then why do people kill themselves? Or when people say, this is what God wants for you. Ok, God wants me to have the highest ranking pain condition in medical history and be secluded from the world and never know love from a man and to never have friends or family again? God wants me to hate life so much that I want to die? No....I'm sorry but there is no God. If there was there is no way he would let us all be existing like this because non of us are living in this physical and mental pain we are in. What the hell happened to ask and you shall receive right? I asked to be cured of my condition many times but here I am ever sicker than I was before and in misery. The physical pain, depression, anxiety, that's all part of God's plan for me? No I don't think so. I swear when I die and if I get to meet Jesus, he's going to wish he was nailed back on that cross again I'm going to fuck him up so badly. One thing I never talk about with people is religion because I know I'm just going to get irate and fight with them. Why do we all have to believe in God? I think people force themselves to believe in him so it makes dying less scary.

Yes, it's really fucking annoying. Any "belief" is entirely in your head. Praying, hearing things, seeing things, "signs". They're all shit you deluded yourself into believing

Couldn't agree more. It's brainwahing.

My sister and her family were Mormons and they couldn't do anything without interjecting their religion into it. I really believe Mormonism is a cult. . . Actually probably you could say that about a lot of religious beliefs.
Anyway, they were constantly trying to recruit me into the Mormon church and trying to tell me that God would heal me and all this other BS. I was told the reason I wasn't being healed is because I wasn't a Mormon.

I agree with you completely! I believe religion is a brainwashing cult. It's really no different than what Charles Manson did.

 

[Polka]

I think it's great the Bible is anti religious.

I am fine with God being so much smarter than I am that even evil has it's purpose.

 

[SuicidalSymphonies]

I have nothing against religious people if they stay out of my face. I've had many tell me that if I pray to God, he can help cure my illnesses. When I was a teen, I prayed at the side of my bed nightly that the pain would stop. Guess what? It didn't.. And it got nastier. So don't tell me God is going to fix my problems. I was never religious either. I was just desperate for a better life and if there was a God, he'd have helped. Even by now..

 

[woxihuanni]

"The Lord works in mysterious ways" makes me want to slap the shit out of anybody who says it. It's a pitiful explanation for pain and suffering.

If I were to entertain the idea of the Lord, it would appear that the fucker enjoys nothing as much as a joke at my expense, and the obliteration of my dignity. Fuck him.

 

[vonvonwantpeace]

Eben Alexander? He is a fraud.

 

[justanotherday]

If there is a "god", then he/ she is one mean , sadistic bastard to let all the needless suffering go on in this crazy world. God is a concept humans invented.

 

[Shinbu]

There are many different religions. Which version of god is real?. Has anyone heard the theory that the origin of life comes from a rare rock?. If true in that case these people are worshiping a rock, and that would explain why there hasn't been a salvation for all. I think the theory is interesting. Does a rock that created life really need a name, and to be called a god?. Well Patrick from Spongebob would probably name a rock. :^).
