I had a conversation yesterday with my wife, who seems to think every good thing that happens to her just has to be Jehovah, and every bad thing, she just KNOWS is Satan. This irritates me to no end. I told her yesterday that I have trouble praying to have relatively petty thing resolved in my life, meanwhile around the world, many people are raped mutilated, tortured, and killed everyday. Many of those people no doubt pray for it to stop but it does not. Why should God help me get a job, and meanwhile let others, including witnesses be mistreated in the worst ways. I said that when I do pray, it is about others not myself. She said by those standards why pray at all? Of course when bad things happen it is only "time and unforseen occurence". I said I am not trying to argue, Im just expressing myself. I dont even WANT GOd to help me get a Job, I would rather he help people who need it more! She always says I just KNOW God wouldnt let this that or the third happen to ME! And im thinking, where is the concern for all those that do go through suffering on an epic scale.
The indoctrinated mind is so amazing, like watching a train wreck kind of amazing. Any good must come from God, and all bad from satan... Why then do evil people get good jobs, are sucsessful etc? Why are christians tortured and killed all the time? Did God abandon them? DId God bless them too? I hate how anything that happens in life is attributed to supernatural sources. But hey whatever gets you through life huh?
