Note me
since i was little i've hear that all things happen for a reason, call it destiny, call it God. and since i was little i thought it was a lie, yeah i still believe it is but i was just wondering, maybe i'm wrong.
sorry to bore you, you don't have to read this, this is more like a self reminder more than anything :3
i'll go on
i've heard that God have a plan for everyone (i was raised catholic then i became atheist when i was 12, now i'm agnostic), but i think people just look for someone to blame, for both good and bad things, bad things mostly. they involve everything into this "God's plan" i must say i can't stand some things, one of them are lies, others are blindness and stupidity. i cannot say i know it all 'cause i know i don't and i can't but the other day i heard something that i couldn't stand, so bad that i had to leave the room.
this person was talking about a child that was born retarded, and that the family see it as a miracle, having a child an all wich is good but they called it "a blessing" as for me, being like that is everything but a blessing "innocent, like their angel" that's when i stood and left. i said nothing 'cause it wasn't my place after all but i got mad, i mean... what about the child? i'm sure is not a blessing for her, it's difficult enough to try to live into this world being "normal" and i know there's no such thing/definition for "normal" but you get my point, life is hard enough to even born with obstacles and then try to make it through. seeing your parents get sad, seeing your parents try harder and harder, seeing them doing the impossible to get your medicines is not what a child want, want it or not children notice, they know, we know. we just want our parents to be happy... to not to suffer and most of all we don't want to be the reason of their suffering. it helps no one to have a child like that, at least is what i think, i mean, wouldn't you trade anything to change that? wouldn't you give up all that you learned from it to return her to normal, to make her stronger, to make her healthy? i know i would if i were their parent
a father being killed by a stupid bus driver in front of their children is part of a plan? a bomb explosion in the middle of a school is part of God's plan? being rapped, being kidnapped, being killed, being scared... living scared, i don't think that's part of any plan, we should stop blaming God, destiny luck or anything you might believe in and start blaming us, start to make things right, start to learn instead of just cross our arms leave it all to this higher/wiser being, we can change our lifes can't we? we can make our own plans, at least i wish to believe in it.
i have to say it was never my intention to be rude or to be offensive, my apologies if i was.

Yearning 
i just wanted to say that i totally agree with you, something like that can`t/shouldn`t be called a blessing but maybe her parents are just trying to think positive or maybe even fool themselves for a while, i believe that deep inside they know that it`s gonna be hard for her and for them to live like that. but maybe i`m wrong (?)
i don`t believe in god`s plans...
i know they tried to be possitive and all, but behind it is all a lie isn't it? though some lies save our lifes, funny i think...
"hope is the biggest lie there is... and it is the best"
I once had to sit in church with my friend where a man from the "Creationism Scientific Ministry" was going to be speaking. I stared at the floor the whole time. He said that the earth was actually only about 6,000 years old, that people actually walked alongside dinosaurs, and that there used to be a 7th layer to the atmosphere composed of water vapor that made everything very large so that people were about 11ft tall and ,lived around 900 years until the flood came. Then everything shrunk over time and that's why dinosaurs became extinct. He also said there were fire breathing dragons because if God could give a bug the ability to shoot fire out of its rear end, than He can just as easily have given a dinosaur that power. I couldn't believe people were listening to him! There is scientific proof that the earth is billions of years old! There's proof that people came much much later than dinosaurs! Plus with all the discoveries made about atoms and everything, how could God have made such a complex world?It's all politics pretty much. Some people just hallucinated way back when and started believing this and gathered followers. If God is so wonderful, once again, why do you have to serve him? Why is everyone condemned to Hell or something if they do not believe as well? "He" just wants to form the biggest group of followers possible.
The definition of a myth is basically a story to help explain natural phonomena or other unknown answers such as how the universe was created. Some of us want to know why we're here and feel safer or less lonely believing there is a higher power watching over them and all questions would be answered by simply contributing it/them to the higher power. But the truth is people need to take responsibilty for their own actions and not twist it around into something to do with God. I personally do not care how I got here or for what purpose I am to serve; I'm just gonna live my life thanks, no divine intervention needed.
Sorry about this long comment and my possibly ranting, just thought i had to add my views in there as well.
convenient isn't it?
i am interested in what everyone have to say.
it is such a pretty delicate subject, religion i mean, i also tried to be nice, don't think i achieved it though hahaha
i used to be very passionate
haha it's fine, even if you were as nice as possible some people still might get mad. And if you couldn't tell by my comment, I'm REALLY passionate about my views
we cannot know how bad we can make people feel, how much can we hurt them without knowing, plus there was a point of view i was missing, a very important want.
