Some people think that praying yields results, so here goes:
Dear God Almighty, creator of Earth in 7 days.
The plate tectonics you devised worked perfectly.
You managed to kill 2,000 people this time.
I pray you don't kill any more.
I pray the ones you only injured get better.
I pray next time that you give us a little warning.
Oh, and was this because of that gay thing or that abortion thing?
Are we praying to the right God?
Can you come down and clear that up for us?
There are so many to chose from, it's hard to tell.

(57,349 posts)I obviously need counseling for my anger issues.
Just don't send me God's, I don't see any improvement in his behaviour.

Hope that helps!

(49,533 posts)Far better to condescend and treat them like children who are incapable of functioning otherwise. THAT'S the more respectful thing to do.
I will never understand that.

Or is God killing the good people so they can live with him in the sky?
I get so confused.

(654 posts)in Nepal they are buddhists so the christian god might assume they are worshipping false idols and thus are all bad people...
It really depends on which god sent the earthquake I believe.
That doesn't help much I know, but I do find christians praying for infidels to recover and find the christian god quite confusing myself.

(50,566 posts)I mean, sure, God is Omnipotent and didn't have to create Satan in the first place and also should be able to kick Satan's ass at any time, being Omnipotent and all, but if we have learned one thing, it is this:
God.Is.Never.To.Blame.For.Anything.
But.Please.Praise.Him.For.All.Good.Things.
Amen

Who in his/her right mind actually creates an enemy?
God is seriously in need of a therapist, or at least a stay at Charenton.
