I consider the reason I hate god so much more to be an emotional than a rational reason; the reason is simple, he allows people to suffer and to die. I could be right; I think, it's rather likely I am unfortunately ; but I hope I'm wrong so much.
I'm sorry for being emotional, but I could be right.
If I was you DM, I'd always carry a flower thru life ... that way if there is tragedy and sadness there will beauty and fragrance as well.

I read Horace before DeCartes, getting it all backwards.
David,
As you can see, I have even given various differing interpretations that I made up, so, just be as you would like to be, for that is all we know, that we are.
Graybeard use to carry a tree around to remind him of his roots.
I agree with you David. How do we define God? Everything that is good and someone who runs the Universe by His will. So how come evil creeps in?? Or does He justify evil as one of His creations?

There isn't really anything to see, to think I'm wrong. I see suffering in the world, I see death, I see war, I see hunger, I see illness, ... I see absurdity... senselessness...
Those are all things a god allows. And I don't see people going to heaven, I don't see spirits, I don't see a hereafter.
I can't stand it. It makes me so unhappy.
My problem is the fact that some people claim there is a god, or there is a hereafter, or there are spirits,
claiming is not enough for me to make me happy;
as long as I don't have proof I cannot be happy. Claiming there is a god, spirits or a hereafter without proof is nothing more than 'insanity' to me.
I consider life without a hereafter to be senseless. I think unfortunately it is that way; but I'm not sure.

Between the roots and my horn, i'm always munching some moist meadow or playing the field.
Dave....when I was only 61/2 my dad suffered and died....I told God, thats it you took my Dad to be with you, now you gotta be my Dad....call it the belligerence of a child....
I see suffering in the world...I allow myself compassionate moments, death always takes me into the love I shared with a person...yes there is war, it comes from greed for power but why blame God, we hold the guns, we tell one another it is in that moment we are enemies but only for war....which is for domination...I see hunger...I share my food...I see illness...I have held the sufferings hand.
We are love....our soul is energy...energy cannot die....
