I agree with you so much. Things like this make me struggle so much when I am trying to believe. Which is why I usually give up, and choose the "there must be no god" approach.
Because why? That poor baby. Those poor parents.
Papie, I'm not sure you want to ride in my go-kart, 'cause it's headed to hell. lol. (But, I'm glad you agree.)
I just don't like being associated with the violence. As an American, I am linked to this mess by default. I'm allowed to not like it.
Maybe you should rethink your US citizenship then. Because, uhhh, this isn't the only violence our country is "linked with" - would hate for you to be sullied so.
Do you realize how fucking moronic you sound? Probably not. This post is about a SPECIFIC conflict. I'm responding to it.
Okay, listen kids. Sorry I offended you. I will amend 'asshole' to 'not a nice god'.
Better?
And Stellas, shut the fuck up. Seriously. Is your husband out for the millionth time taking pictures of randoms at bars while you sit at home letting it happen?
He's....at work. Cuz it's work hours and stuff.
(looks around to see if anyone else is seeing this)
Right. Because you were a real sweetie in this post. C'mon now.

I don't get this at all. Do you ever notice the wonderful things that happen in the world? Who 'allows' those? I'm cool with you saying "not God", but it goes both ways.

it is clear that you are passionate about israel. my own feelings are more conflicted.
however, the fact that our country is ALSO associated with other acts/forms of violence does not mean that a person cannot feel anger or dislike about this act of violence. should you want people to listen to and respect your feelings and views about israel, you perhaps might want to take a tone that is less dripping with condescension.

There are about as many horrible things as wonderful things. So I'm guessing it is all just happening. I don't know. Like I said, I try, I wish I believed, I am not at a happy place in my agnosticism. But I can't.
I'm ordering the book frkls keeps recommending. My last attempt at finding good religious answers in a book was a failure, but I keep trying.
I didn't mean to offend anyone. I am sorry. I just struggle with this.

"rethink your citizenship?" Dumb.
You can be pro-Israel all you want. But it is pretty shitty to say that voicing disagreement with Israel aka rethink your american citizenship.
I hate hearing and reading news articles about Israel/ Palestine. No bias what so ever. Its all innocent Israelis with their bulldozers bulldozing land that does not belong to them and the bad bad Palestinians throwing rocks.

your response: hey bitchass jerk, our country does all kinds of terrible things, so you might as well become north korean or something.
bab's point: um, we're not talking about those other terrible things right now.
everyone else: **blink blink**
