    I love that whenever something really awful happens to you, they try to justify it by saying, “God never gives you more than you can handle.”

    I know people who have been driven batsh*t insane by what God has given them.

        They won’t debate you but they will tell you that “God has a plan for you” or something like that. Even if that plan is living a super short life and dying and agonizing death.

          Yep. Apparently babies deserve to suffer for…being born? I’ve been told I should see my horrible migraine as a gift from God that he thinks I’m strong enough to carry. 🤬 Ah yes, the “gift” of unending pain. That’s not a gift, that’s a curse.

      If there is a god he is an asshole and doesn’t deserve worship. I heard he’s the bastard that lets all those children die all the time!

        I mean, are we assholes because we let ants die? I agree if he exists he isn’t deserving of worship, but calling him an asshole for letting kids die is kinda rich from a species that mostly gives no fucks about creatures with lower intellect.

      It’s all survivorship bias.

      The only folks who cling to that belief are the ones who haven’t been broken on the wheel of life
