Shenanigans!

By Prometheus · Mar 14, 2010 · ·
  1. Dear God, I need you to explain a few things. Since you are supposedly all knowing and all powerful feel free to comment here. I wouldn’t want to waste your very valuable time by demanding a personal appearance.


    1) Cancer: OK, so you are all powerful but have chosen people will die anyways, fine. Heaven, angels, harps, yaddy yada. But, what kind of sadistic freak would come up with cancer?

    2) Dogs: Why don’t dogs live as long as people?

    3) Hunger: If you could do that thing with the fish and bread, why are so many people on this earth going to bed hungry tonight?

    4) Sanction of the Church: One of your churches refused to marry my wife and me because I was a “heathen” but we are still happily married almost two decades later. Yet, that same church married my wife’s brother and his Christian wife and their marriage ended horribly after only a few years. How could this happen?

    5) Sex: Why is this supposedly so bad?

    6) War: WTF….What The ****. No really, What the ****?

    7) Birth Defects: Why are so many innocent babies born with debilitating often fatal illnesses?

    8) Torture: Why hasn’t Dick Chaney and those like him not received lightning bolts up their asses?

    9) Taxes and tithing: Why are people forced to take care of others? What’s wrong with your voluntary Christian charity? Where is the Free Will your followers love to go on about?

    10) Hate: Why do so many people hate others just because they are different from themselves?

    11) Alzheimer’s: Why will one of the brightest people I have even known be reduced to wearing diapers soon?

    This was far more sombre than the title led me to believe. I'm feeling all existential now.

    I believe 'God works in mysterious ways' would be the all-purpose ****e-adhesive that some bible basher would be spraying at you right now, having read that.

    That's never been an adequate answer for me, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be good enough for you either.

    Sadly, I think those are questions that have to remain unanswered. :(

    I second what Ashleigh said about God and his mysterious ways. Or another answer might be because Earth/mortality is the wild west, a free-for-all where ****z happens or is allowed to happen since we're no longer in Kansas/the Garden of Eden, and this is the proving ground for all of us.
