Crazy Email
This is the type of email I get sometimes. “do you realize what would happen if you went out and gathered people and told them there is no God and teach skepticism? God would be very dissapointed in you. would you like to disscuss via email your frustrations with religion? I care about you and dont even know you, i feel you are hurt and frustrated with this dissattisfiying life, but there is hope and peace that I know you have never known, i want to pay attention to you and listen to your concerns and value your openions and concerns, i'd like to be your friend actually. Hey God bless you Jose, i want you know that you are really loved more than you would ever imagine. you dont have to feel angry or anything, thanks, Brother Rene” Here is my response When you say “god” would be disappointed which god, do you refer to? Your Christian “god”? Thor? Anubis? Ra? Odin? Can you be a little more specific? Secondly, how can you prove it? How do you know that he will be disappointed? Because your ancient fairy tale book says so? Let’s see my frustrations with religion….hmmmm where do I begin. First of it’s not a society of loving caring people. My brother happens to be a homosexual. Yet the people of Christian faith believe that he is “evil” or that he has “demonic possession” or some other thing. I love my brother for who he is. Religion slows down human progress. It claims to have the answers to everything! Yet in the bible they can’t even get pi right….so stupid. There is a whole lot more that I can gripe and complain about, but the email would be too long. What is it that you think I am “hurt” by? The only thing that frustrates me is the ignorant mobs of people who condone intelligent design and alternative medicines. WHO said ANYTHING about a “dissatisfying life? I love my life; I have a wonderful wife, two beautiful children. I got one shot at making it a good one. Yes, I do have to feel angry. Angry that these Christian nut jobs can say I have been a godly man, but molest children, cheat on their wives, and wage a war. There is a lot to be grumpy about. 9 comments from 6 users

do you realize what would happen if you went out and gathered people and told them there is no God and teach skepticism? Why, I believe that would be what's called "progress." posted by

The way the fairytale go's, the big bad wolf gets found at the witches house with empty bowls and cold porage while the cat with the boots is in the papa bears bed with some watery tart with a sword?... Why worry about it now, if the funny book with no pictures is right, then I can be my own grandpa and never actually get laid, but again it's all OK, because in the end, we're all going to go where there are flying unicorns puffy white clouds and naked children playing harps...(or was that a ranch owned by a recently dead guy just North of Santa Barbara?) If that all happens that way, then all you have to say is "Oops, I was wrong, Sorry" and they let it all slide....that's what the walrus and the carpenter sed

interesting... "god would be disappointed in you" and telling you there's hope in the same sentence. i'm grumpy too, and its aggravating how people seem to refuse to let others feel that way. ugh. i can't stand it when people try to force beliefs, hopes onto others. i believe we are who we are, cuz that's how we're supposed to be for that day.
