to the author of the 12-3-06 post..

your issues with God are fairly common.. but not necessarily right.
so you feel depressed, sad, blue,(insert more adjectives here)..
but when you look at your life, it isn't God that's making your decisions for you..
you actually do that for yourself..
God doesn't allow us to suffer.. when you say that he is merely a passive onlooker,
sadistically laughing at our sorrows you are mistaken..
these bumps in the road are just that bumps in the road..
they are part of life and of growth..
God does not control every part of our lives..
i think that's why He gave us rationality and intelligence,
so we are able to make the right choices.
unfortunately, we are not always able to make the right choices and
are left with mistakes..
this will always happen, it is an unending cycle..
i know it has been hard on you, i have experienced the same feeling..
and i had actually built a plan on how to really end it all..
but i didn't.. thankfully..
sometimes, i think of those dark thoughts..
then i remember other people who have had waaaaayyy bigger problems than i do..
they have suffered more than i and they do not think their life is pointless..
and another major point they do not blame God, they pray to Him for guidance and strength..
okay, so i'm ranting about like a preacher here..
but it's not as if i'm not telling you the truth..
we all have problems and if you don't think God is there to help,
look to your family and friends He is has always been there inside them..
to end this fairly long sermon,
tell me who you are and i will talk to you in person for a longer sermon..
i'm not kidding..
