    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.

      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.

          Do almost 1/8th of the ants worship humans as their saviour?

              Likely, I mean, humans are real, and if a few hundred billion ants started building temples to us, I suspect things would change.

            Nope, and they have actual proof of our existence.

            Just goes to show how dumb we are as a species. Or maybe there would be less people worshipping God if we knew he existed and gave no fucks about people suffering or dying? Who knows.

      Yep, but if you ask them why babies have cancer they suddenly don’t have time to debate you.

        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.

      Presumably, people who say that have never read the Bible.

      They hide their inhumanity behind some magical sky wizard with a greater plan and misconstrue their privilege as strength of character and confidence.

      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

        And the ones that do snap and do horrible things aren’t really true (insert religion here) anyway.

        It’s survivorship bias with an added dash of No True Scotsman.

          Unless the horrible things are done to people they hate.
