    I made this connection a month ago - that a couple of generations of humans grew up breathing exhaust from leaded gasoline and dust from lead paint and had a bit of an epiphany about the state of the world.

    I love that whenever something really awful happens to you, they try to justify it by saying, “God never gives you more than you can handle.”

    I know people who have been driven batsh*t insane by what God has given them.

      If there is a god he is an asshole and doesn’t deserve worship. I heard he’s the bastard that lets all those children die all the time!

        I mean, are we assholes because we let ants die? I agree if he exists he isn’t deserving of worship, but calling him an asshole for letting kids die is kinda rich from a species that mostly gives no fucks about creatures with lower intellect.

        They won’t debate you but they will tell you that “God has a plan for you” or something like that. Even if that plan is living a super short life and dying and agonizing death.
