Tornadoes and Tapeworms
Why are there tornadoes, earthquakes and tsunamis? Would they be considered "very good" as offered to us in Genesis? At the fall, did God suddenly decide to create them to kill and maim us as punishment? Is God not capable of creating a safe, stable planet?
Why are there tapeworms? Did God design these things knowing they would inflict the poor and their children? I think I'd rather endure various types of torture, like having my fingers chopped off, than have that thing growing inside me. That's something out of Aliens. That's the product of a sick, twisted mind (or evolution). If that is the punishment of God (thought up, designed and implemented), then, quite frankly, I don't want anything to do with that sicko. There are also wood tics, maggots, leeches, mosquitoes, locusts, etc. Is God not capable of creating an eco system free of these little nasties?
So now Jesus came and somehow bridged the gap between sinful man and holy God. We now have access to God, our sins are no longer an issue. So why does all this crap still exist? The most momentous moment in the history of humanity supposedly occured, yet everything remains unchanged. Some inward barrier to God is apparently bridged but all the tangible crap in this world will have to wait to be fixed at Jesus' second coming....rigghht!
Since my mind was freed from the delusion of Christianity, it has become so totally, completely and utterly obvious that Christianity is a bunch of hooey. It frustrates me to see so many people still putting their trust in something that is purely imagined.
