. . . saw this post the other day somewhere, showed a icture of starving kids and said, "Yep, God sure loves the little children!"
Sounds a bit harsh.
. . . I understand it, though. It's the old argument: how can a loving God let children suffer? But man, for a moment there it just made me mad, because I'm thinking, yeah, for all the suffering, I don't see any atheists out there pooling their money so they can send missionaries to dig wells and give medicine? I don't see any Muslim organizations trying to build homes in third world countries? I don't see Buddhists trying to stop malaria or educate people on basic personal health.
You might be taking it a bit too hard.
. . . well, I suppose because the same poster had put up a picture that showed three "extremists." First panel, "Muslim Militant Extremist" had a guy with a gun and explosvies strapped to his torso. Second, "Christian Militant Extremist" showed a guy outside an abortion clinic with a gun, and the last one "Atheist Militant Extremist" showed some hippie-lookin' dude with a beer. It just seemed so patently silly.
Then why does it bug you?
. . . because the only thing anybody knows about Christianity these days is those gay hating freaks from Kansas, or all the send-you-to-hell money grubbing evangelicals!
