It's A Sign

(Before I start I just want to say I am not an athiest. I'm not one of those smug angry know-it-all anti-christians. I was rasied catholic but now I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle. Open to spirituality but in no way religious. A lot of people might say I'm agnostic but to be honest I'm not a fan of the term I'm not sure of anything and I'm comfortable with that. Everyday I'm figuring it out. It's like a test and I don't have to put my pencil down till I'm dead. This little thing here is just kind of a venting for me that comes from living in a extremely religious christian dominant community and a lot of the things people say around here really scare me. I'm not trying to piss people off here but if your sensitive about your beliefs and don't like to be questioned don't read this and go fuck yourself.)

Have you ever noticed that most christians seem to think something is a sign form God when its for something good. You always hear about things like, when someone survives a horrible accident with only minor injuries, "God must have saved them." Or someone is late for a meeting but something delayed the meeting so now they're on time. It couldn't possibly be that it was luck or coincidence. Christians don't see the negative in god when oh lets say... there's a severe thunderstorm at an outdoor cancer benefit. Cause when you think about it seems like God is saying, "No! I will stop you because I made cancer in my own image." So it seems really what's happening is God is trying to aid cancer in its attempt to kill all it sees. Am I wrong? If God is in control of everything, if our fate is in It's hands, then why is God not attributed to all things that happen. It's like people don't want to admit how fragile their beliefs really are. If they did that their faith would become all the more beautiful. Because the smaller and more fragile & delicate something gets the more treasured it becomes.

The only time you hear God's name thrown around when something bad happens is when a baby or very young child dies. Although rarely do you hear people cursing God, no. what most people tend to say is "God in all "his" infinite wisdom must have had a reason for this child." What if the reason was god is a cave troll and like to feast on the bones of little children. There's no wisdom in a cave troll God. If anything that God is evil and we'll need some gallant knight to slay it. The problem there is most knights were servants of God. So what does that accomplish. Or the more likely scenario God like It's priests, is a pedophile.

Either way I don't want to get fucked or eaten.

P.S. Why the hell do we call God "Him"? Is God A man? It thought God was God.
