Holy Cow!

I've got a beef with the bullshit of belief.

I prayed for a cow's milk to flow again.
It flowed: Praise be to God!
It didn't flow: God has a plan.
It flowed, then stopped: God chooses the time.
It flowed, stopped, then flowed again: God blessed that cow twice.
It flowed, stopped, flowed again, stopped again, and... well, you get the picture.

God acts the way the people want him to act... but always after the fact.
Can you tell me something God told you before it happens?
It doesn't have to be as dramatic as the date for the end of all things. Tell me a day before I fall and break an arm. Tell me before I open the carton that the milk I bought had gone sour.

No?

Then don't tell me that God speaks to you because he doesn't. Everyone has that little voice in their head and it's YOU! That's your voice, your mind, your conscience, and your ability to deny what you don't like.
People die? "No, they go to heaven."
People starve to death? "Yes, but the church is helping them."
God is just a myth? "No, he speaks to me through my heart."

Give me some 'before the fact' information about what God will do.
And don't give me that, "God helps those that help themselves," bullshit!
That's the biggest bovine brownie ever plopped onto the mental farmland of self delusional believers!

People that help themselves... help themselves!

"God works in mysterious ways," is another way of saying, "We don't know what the fuck is going on, but we still have faith!"

Here's another hackneyed haypie from the back 40, "God hears all prayers. Sometimes the answer is "No.""

Have a little self respect, believers! These win-win answers are no better than patting yourself on the head and calling yourself a good little Christian!

Try this... God already answered you, but you're not yet ready to understand His divine answer.
Or... God said no to test your faith.

Sophistry!

I could plop out these taurine treats faster than a herd with the trots.
They're meaningless drivel, used by the self deluded to make themselves feel like their beliefs have some kind... any kind... of validity.

In truth, they are baby pacifiers; they might make you feel like you're getting your spiritual milk right from the teat... but you can suck on that thing with all your spiritual might, believe with all your faith, and pray for milk until the cows come home... but honestly, way down deep in your core belief system, you know there's no milk in that thing.
