Welcome to the wonderfully uncertain world of agnosticism. Glad to see you've joined the club ;)

Hah. Thanks, but I joined long ago. Thank you for that comment, it made me smile. : )

You say that as if you've only just discovered that there is evil and suffering in the world. Even if it has just dawned on you, it's not a new thing. And, the Judeo-Christian tradition takes it into account. If you wanted the answers, you would find them and accept them. But it is much easier to protest angrily about how "terribly unfair" it all is

thank you for responding joshfat you said in a more intelligent and reasoned way what I was feeling :)

I would first like to preface this by saying that I do not want to get into a huge theological discussion with you. That was not the purpous of this entry.

I was not saying this as some sudden revelation I had. I was writing in increasing frustration, and when that happens (for whatever the cause) I write about it here-in my personal journal- as a thereputic means of working through my problems.

And while I admire you for your faith more than you could know, I am not you, and not many people have your strength. It is not so unual to act out or say such things (use profanity). Sometimes I feel like you are selfrightous in your beliefs. You expect everyone to be able to have the self control and faith and religious knowledge that you do. Now this is probably not intentional on your part. But, just know, that I will never be the Catholic that you are. Therefore, I do not follow the set of beliefs as you do.

You say that we cause our own suffering. And for some part it is true. But are you saying that I caused my fibromyalia. My

well, from a non-christian, non-theological point of view:

good would be completely meaningless without bad. and no matter how bad it is, there is always so much to be thankful for.

BTW, I apologize if my comments to your post were somewhat undelicate. Your post just really hit a nerve.

[real_idealist]

Yes, well your comments did the same. Im sorry, but this conversation is over.

Damn instead of offering her a kind guided hand into faith discovery, most of you have mangaged to bash her. Not cool people not cool at all, instead of hurling insults and announcing her private life why don't some of you try being a friend instead. Treating her with respect first would insure she hears you and takes it in. You have no right to belittle her on her own journal! This is her forum and if you don't agree with what she says, instead of flexing your brain and bad manners try addressing it in a more privat way. What I am reading is not concern for her I am reading egos seeing a chance to show off at the expense of a friend. You want her to believe and understand, show her a true example of your believing, kindness and understanding would be a good place to start. Self discovery is hard enough, spiritual discovery is a different road all together. If you feel her spirit is empty give her positive things to fill it. If you see her in need and choose to lash out instead then you are not doing your faith justice, besides you

Not a problem, I may not know you but I do know when someone is being disrespected and that will never be cool in my book.
