I got in a huge fight with my dad.
We were watching CNN together and something about breast cancer came up and I just mentioned how they have not even found a cure for cancer.
He went on about how things can't be explained and god works in mysterious ways.All I said was if thats true god is an ass for torturing innocent people... Was I really that out of line? I don't actually think his god is an ass. I just ment it in the context of our conversation.
He pretty much flipped out.
I had no idea he was a god fearing man. I probably would not have said that..
Blows my mind when people blame a god for all the world's problems and worship it.
It's ridiculous... IP: Logged |

I suspect it may be related to Stockholm syndrome. Remember, many of them FEEL God as a force. This is why some gays commit suicide, because they can feel God's hate of them, and even a woman I knew who became an atheist told me she felt "God's terrible disappointment" in her when she refused to deny gays civil rights in an election, though she understands how she'd been brainwashed into believing that and that it wasn't real. If they question their faith or think anything that can offend God then they may suffer eternally for it. That's quite the fear. If one had to live under it constantly then I can definitely see something like Stockholm Syndrome coming out of it. Oh, and like how someone suffering Stockholm syndrome can interpret a lack of abuse as kindness, that reminds me of one woman's account who's BF, IIRC, was murdered, and she was stripped, raped, stabbed several times, and then she ran away at night in the snow telling herself, "God won't let me die." Yeah, God WILL let everything else happen, but she still believes God has power over her life and is good. That really is too much like Stockholm syndrome! IP: Logged |

s. syndrom, i cant even 
so it was true when they said that believing in god will come to be considered a pathology; well given the ”how” some people choose to believe in a god(not the One and True) i guess it really is brainwashing because God would never want anyone to commit suicide...
