So, what bothers you about religion? If nothing bothers you about religion that you want to talk about, feel free to just vent about what is bothering you in your life.
We are in this together! How about we share with one another the suffering we're going through.
I was inspired to ask, because I texted a woman today who I could tell was really suffering tremendously.
I told her this week I have been more angry than I have been in years. I have been full of blasphemies. My "friends" played me like a sucker. I discovered that even the Christians I live with who always talk about God, and have the appearance of being meek, humble, and thoughtful, will just beg and beg for money.
And when they try to sell me something, they rip me off and sell me bogus stuff like a bus card that has no money on it.
I described to her how I was feeling that week, and how I feel being played like a chump and sucker. She said "that is exactly how I feel".
She said I helped her tremendously since I was going through the same emotions that she was.
She said she was so angry, in the meeting she was about to scream at the top of her lungs.
That was precisely how I was feeling. I had outbursts of profanity and blasphemy at an AA meeting. She and I are in this together. We have heavy crosses to carry and God wants us to suffer.
The early Christians suffered tremendously. Non-christians have suffered tremendously at the hands of Christians.
God wants all of this suffering. If he didn't want it, he would speak up, and to this day Christians do not know how to interpret the Bible because they are so divided.
Muslims believe God is speaking to them through the Quran. If they are indeed confused, it is because God wants them confused, because God is not telling them the Quran is false.
If the Quran is false, countless Muslims have given their lives and died for a lie. if the Bible is false, countless Christians and Jews have sacrificed and died over a lie. not to mention, that would make the Bible not only a work of fiction but the best selling book year after year after year... 2 billion people are living by a work of fiction and a lie (possibly).
So, it's obvious that God wants there to be confusion and violence.
He will bring something good out of it and give us great reward and glory in the next life.
