"This will hurt me more than it will hurt you" Was the phrase trotted out by the school teacher as he prepared to hit me. Yes I come from time when corporal punishment was not only legal but the norm. If only I had the wit and courage I now possess? I would have responded with "Well lets swap then? You bend over and give me that cane".
Four great lies;
The cheques in the post.
I won't cum in your mouth
I just want a guy whos kind and has a GSOH
and
God does not send you a burden you cannot carry

Lets leave the 1st three there and look at the last one. The world is littered with people who are broken. Junkies, homeless, suicidal vets, shattered lives are all around us. I can bare this if its just "shit happens" but not if there is some monical sadist who is doing it for our betterment. Worship him? fuck that! I don't want to live in the same street as that guy!

I unfriended the person who posted that stupid bullshit. I don't even bother with an explanation anymore.

As an abuse survivor, I say this is not one, but TWO metric fucktons of bullshit. I was ‘broken’ by a bad PERSON, and bad luck on place/time. It sure as fuck wasn’t to make me ‘glow’ and reveal my true purpose. ?
Bad stuff happens-so does good stuff- pretty much at random. We can do our best, but life is largely chaos and not ‘ordered/purposed’ by Invisible Sky Daddy.
That lady should also definitely get help for hearing voices! I pity folks who think like this.

This is literally like knocking hell out of someone and saying, "I am doing this for your own good"! You aren't...you are an abuser. I coukd never believe in an abuser

And how long does that glow last? Maybe an hour? Then it's just an empty plastic tube.

I have had Extensive experiences of being "broken" and it Totally convinced me there is NO gawd.....nor did reading the Book of Job. Just ridiculous to think a "loving shepherd" would "break you" to show you his/her/its "love".

Proposed snarky reply: “Fine. So you won’t mind if I kill your spouse and torture your children since if God allows me to do this you can rest assured that it is for YOUR benefit.”

There are three rules that I live by. Only three. 1) Don't break things. 2)Don't hurt anybody. 3) Have a good time. This god person mentioned seems hell bent on breaking all the rules. This god person is an asshole. Don't be like God. Follow the rules.

I have to give babies malaria and so the ones that miraculously survive can really appreciate life.

If god is omnipotent why does he have to resort to cruel draconian techniques to mold people into what he failed to make them in the first place.

The ridiculous apologetics that people resort to and the outright lies they tell to convince themselves that there is a god only strengthen my belief that the loving and merciful deity that they believe in is a fairytale.

As you can see, everything about this infuriates me

... said the most recent active shooters ... Believer excuse for god # 864.

???????

We have to be molested as children, we have to be kidnapped and sold into sex slavery rings, we need to get cancer and die, we need to be shot in a mass shooting, we need to be crippled by debt for 30 years, we need to make excuses for god because we're too fucking weak to accept responsibility for our own lives when bad things happen we can't accept sometimes it's just bad fucking luck and others we could have done more to prevent it.

So he sends someone to assault you. To help you. Then we punish the assaulter. And at the same time praise the god who sent him to hurt you. Instead of prisons, we should exalt the rapists, assaulters, torturers. Give them compensation for making us better.

I tell that to my kids after each time I slap them. Then they must thank me.

I doubt the story ever happened really. They sit around dreaming up these simplistic stories to create a fuzzy feeling that is very powerful to non-critical thinkers. It's just another in a very long line of attempts to justify the horror they experience in their daily life. After all, God is the one doing all this so it must be explained away. Since they never think deeper than the words in front of them they eat it up. Any critical thinker will run into problems immediately since we don't come with sealed vials of chemicals needing to broke so we can have a short period of chemical reaction that makes us glow. Why couldn't their God make them that way to start with and skip all the suffering are just a few things that I thought up before I finished reading. They do no such thinking since they want it to be true. They actively use this stuff to make believe what they want to believe.

Sounds like a textbook defense for any mass-murderer to me.

My typical go to response:
You do you, I do me and let's strive to do or cause no harm.

Fairy Tales and Fairy gods amuse some to point of Insanity! They don't even know they have fallen before their own Ignorance! I hope this helps you return to yourself some sanity!

It was the f'ing dollar store. Why didn't mom just buy the toddler some shit to shut him up?

Yes, god will break you so you can be fixed and that bully down the street will beat the snot out of you. I'm still in Facebook but I don't respond to nonsense like this unless it is to be factual. Remember also that Peter could not walk on water because he did not keep his eyes on Jesus, and they made a big song out of it. Another song I remember was something about a cup of water. (Gee, what if we are thirsty for Jesus.) People would sing it and cry their eyes out. Whip me a little more. Show me something. Make me cry. Yeah, that's my god.

How about if you just quit facebook? Most everyone I know has.... Except Trump supporters.

Dear Gracefully Broken;

Your "God" is a sadistic mother fucker

With sincere affection,
Reasonable thought.

So god is an auto mechanic who cuts your break lines and you want me to worship that dick?
