God Only Gives You As Much As You Can Handle.
"God only gives you has much has you can handle." A common term expressed by some religious people, not all. No generalization intended. What is wrong with this statement? Oh boy here we go...
That little boy who didn't get any food today, or the next day, or the next because his family can't get a job. Was he given as much as he can handle?
That 93 year old woman who was given cancer and can't survive the surgery or Kemo-Therapy(spelling is probably WAY off). Was she given as much as she can handle?
The baby who was born too early and died soon after birth with no chance. Were they given as much as they can handle?
Whether or not that you believe in God, this term makes no sense to me at all. If God really controlled all that went on with you in your life, don't you think that he'd bring peace in your life? Not let such horrible things happen? If he really only gave you as much as you could actually handle...then why are so many perished without a chance to survive? Did God actually think that a weak newborn could save herself from lung failure? Do you actually believe that your God would give that to a child, knowing she couldn't handle it?
You are given a life, you don't know for sure how it started or how it began, what control you or anyone else have over it. You can think what you want, believe in what you want to believe in, but at least think of something logical.
My rant is finished!
Muah!

I agree! I mean there is a scripture that says God only gives you as much as you can handle. But according to the Bible, that's only if you're living for Him sincerely. He is only sovereign where He is given sovereignty. God has no control over this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says it. Why do you think it's in such a mess?

Oh, and I'm not going to attack you because of your religion, by the way.
That'd be mega hypocritical.

We do not have free will.
God is dead.
I have perfectly valid arguments if you feel like discussing it Miley Cyrus.

well, i believe in god, but i believe he gave us free will for a reason and we completely abused it, which has f*cked over a lot of people. i don't think it's god that did these horrible things to the world- it's us. he gave us the power, and we went much too far.

Exactly. How can there be a God when there are innocent children dying of starvation every minute?
I personally think that, if there is a God, he's a sick sadistic fvck.

I've spent years making these same points, asking the same questions and ranting the same rants about religion. In the end, its just not worth it.
You can't prove any religion, and you can't disprove any religion. Do yourself a favor: never have this argument with a preist, pastor, southerner, or anyone in a church. They'll never leave you alone. Trust me, its not worth the time or effort. Just leave them to their beliefs, and stay far away from them.

D:
You used to believe in God, what happened to question your beliefs?
But good points, that is a question I ask about all religions, why would your God punish his believers the same way as his doubters...

i really agree with you. i'm at a *i don't believe in god* stage in my life, at the moment.
good blog.

i don't believe this, tbh. i really don't know if i believe in god, but if i did, i would have a hard time believing this. :\ i do believe everything happens for a reason, but i certainly don't think you're given just as much as you can take. you've made several excellent points in this blog. :)

I never looked at it like this.
I've always thought that bad things happen to people because "God" or whatever thinks you can take it, but I understand your point.
Religion confuses the crap out of me. All it does is make people insane. Ah, and people wonder why we question it!
