definitely not an atheist

Sometimes, when I think about the horrors of the Middle Passage, or of the Holocaust - any genocide, really - I get so angry at God that I can't help but cry. How am I supposed to put faith in a God who sits back and allows so many people to suffer? And don't talk to me about mysteries of faith and master plans: you know who else had a master plan? Hitler.

These are the moments I wish I was an atheist.

not a sermon, just a thought

People who talk about Jesus ALL. THE. TIME. are unbearable - pretty much the opposite of Jesus. Even Jesus used parables to share his message in real-world examples that didn't overwhelm or freak people out with theology, or guilt, or showboating. There are lots of folks on the Internet who seriously just need to chill out. Jesus wants ambassadors, not enforcers.
