One would think if there was a god who answered prayers, he'd feed the hungry, cure deadly diseases, stop natural disasters, end terrorism, etc.... not worry about politics and making substances legal.
First of all, you know I am not one to go into paragraphs. (unless it is a copy/paste) and this takes so many paragraphs to even try and answer, I'll just cut to what I think may satisfy.
God is the WITNESS. I know you cannot see him. You are looking at this through the eyes of someone who has heard this argument you give, have never heard a satisfying answer that you can digest and have left it there until something comes along to prove otherwise.
Are we in agreement so far?
I'm back. I think I have to do this in sections because if I go on too long, it will be preachy. That is not my intent. It just occurred to me (that in itself is usually a sign to pursue this) maybe I could cause a window to open for you to see through and answer something you may want to know but don't even know to yet ask.
I mean how to you know how to ask when you don't even think anyone's there?
If I deserved the best, I would have the best. That is how it works. I cannot blame any Diety on what I deserve. I get what I am asking for. I may not realize what I am saying to God, but God is giving me exactly what I am asking for. God is only the witness. He does not dictate what I should have, I DO.
This is a playground to me of lessons to be learned. I have obviously asked to learn humility, forberance, and detachment. Because that is what has happened to me so far. Anything I think I wanted, God gave that and then when I had it I realized the BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT thing comes right into action and gives me an old ONE-TWO punch in the kisser.
I prayed once to god in my 20's that I wanted this man. I said I did not care what I had to sacrifice, I needed to be with that man. I said, take anything. I want that man. Well, years later (I am persistant, I did pray a lot) I got that man. By the time I got that man we had both dissapated into just adolescents in adult bodies and became highly toxic for each other. We became addicted to each other and vodka.
Then I had to pray to God to get rid of him and get me sober. I prayed, I got sober. Mickey didn't and he died.
