Thread Name: BS: What fills you with despair?
Subject: RE: BS: What fills you with despair?
I'm a practising Christian Gargoyle, but it seems obvious to me that God doesn't take care of people. Where was He when little April Jones was taken? I've seen the most terrible things in Africa. The people were patient and resigned, and believed sincerely in God, but they suffered in every possible way. He didn't appear to take much interest in them. Secondly, it's a bit thick to say the least, to expect people not to give in to despair when beset with heartbreaking events. It's a natural consequence of suffering, surely? I've always found the book of Job impossible to swallow. The poor chap was tormented left right and centre, yet was admonished for being a trifle peeved. Sorry God, but we aren't made of stone.
