Holding a grudge |
I heard a piece on the radio this morning, a Pat Dobson-like guy talking
about the importance of letting things go, not holding a grudge. He
spoke of how the desire to keep hurting those who've wronged you leads
to even more anguish, which is unhealthy.
And he's absolutely right.
A thought came immediately into my mind. Who holds the longest and most
virile grudge in history? Why, the Christian god, of course.
Obviously, the god does not exist, but the grudge does. And it lives
deep inside the heart of every Christian on the planet. No wonder a lot
of these people are amoral, immature, and just plain mean.

Yikes!
You've combined two religiofacists talking heads (Pat Robertson/James
Dobson) into one evil entity!
about the importance of letting things go, not holding a grudge. He spoke
of how the desire to keep hurting those who've wronged you leads to even
more anguish, which is unhealthy.
And he's absolutely right.

Paging Mr. Carlin!:
"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man --
living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every
day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not
want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special
place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he
will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry
forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you."~ George Carlin

I know what you mean. Whether or not God exists is irrelevant, in this
context. The fact that some people *want* him to exist is the important
thing. You're right about the grudge. Christians want to believe that
their god has held a grudge against humanity from the beginning, until
the very end of time itself. But only because he loves us, of course.

Well...
That "god" guy/thing created the universe.
Then it created "humans".
That was so crappy it drowned them all (including seemingly irrelevant
animals, plants, babies, etc.), save some dude and his family.
It didn't even work!
So the big guy/thing sends its "son"!
It dies! For nought!
All I can conclude is that this "god" thing is utterly incompetent.

Or, anyway, a dilettante playing with forces and materials beyond his mastery.
Yes, that decodes down to "incompetent," but with a doctor's note.
