A pastor told me today that he is sorry that I have not felt the love of god. Pastor, I am the one who is sorry.
I'm sorry you believe a god who does not seem interested in loving everyone.
I'm sorry you feel the need to apologize for this "all loving" creator.
I'm sorry your religion would have you believe people are incapable of loving each other without this watch-dog divinity.
I'm sorry your happiness in this life relies on hope of the next.
I'm sorry you can't see that we don't need a god to be good, or loved.
I'm sorry for all the wonder your faith would have you ignore in favor of fairy tales.
For all the confusion in doctrine.
For lies of zealouts.
For the guilt brought on by your own humanity.
For all the delusions your mind has been forced through fear to accept, you have my deepest sympathies.

Sorry for your living with the belief that your friends or family might be eternally punished for morally irrelevant and finite things.

Not "might be," but "will be" and not "morally irrelevant and finite things," but it is enough simply because they have not taken the saving hand of Jesus even if they are the most moral persons in the world 
"he is sorry that I have not felt the love of god" - just like all the alter boys have?

I like the attitude of your approach, because I use something similar once in a while and find it quite effective. Go Git Um Tiger.

Yah - give 'em their Hell!
Is your 'god' so shallow that he needs everybody to love him? I am a little worried that your god is stalking me. Should I file a report?

#Exactly! Sounds pretty needy if you ask me.
@BettyColeman haha! Out damn spot! OUT! You should respond to all the messages as if they were written to you...if you promise to do that, I will totally follow you!
I'm so confused by that exchange lol@JohnnyThorazine
@DelilahJones33 I was just teasing the father figure/all seeing eye concept of god, and got a 'ear' full...hehe...but I loved the fire and brimstone that the message was delivered with...not sure where it was aimed at...hehe
Yeah that’s where my confusion came from too lol@JohnnyThorazine
@JohnnyThorazine /follow me Johnny you must be a stalker.
I would for it is probably someone in here.
@BettyColeman haha! Consider yourself stalked...but only reasonably stalked...like during proper stalking hours...let's say, 2-3 pm on alternating, dewey decimating wednesday if both parties agree...I find one sided stalking so...lonely....hehe
That's a lot to say at one time... very good. Proud of you standing your ground.
