If you don’t believe in God, why are you mad at religious people or religion?

[Anonymous]

I don’t believe in God, so I’m not mad at God at all?

I am borderline hostile to religions but not to most religious people, we all have our things.

That’s so helpful.

Look, religious folks are the ones who started the whole "god's children" language, so don't get chippy with me for taking it to its natural conclusion.

There are no religious people involved in her life, she literally had normal friends.

No non-religious person is "mad at god." That's like a grown adult being mad at Santa Claus or Bigfoot.

If you want to hate gay people, do it in your own name. If you want to invade another country, do it in your own name. If you want to keep women under your thumb, do it in your own name.

Well she’s gained over 50 lbs, has no friends or hobbies, is unmarried and hasn’t had a boyfriend in 3 years. She exists in a constant state of anger and I am getting very sick of it.

You’re the one who needs therapy.

Your posts are not normal and all over the place.

But she doesn’t believe in God.

That doesn't take away from validity of her question.

Trick her into fostering a puppy. If she likes that then she'll get one of her own and it would help shift her focus.

Nobody who doesn't believe a god exists is mad at a god.

Nobody.

Get that through your head, meme posters.

Nobody who doesn't believe in a god is mad at one.

Whose God is she upset at? Encourage her to try a different one. If nothing else, she'll make friends with some missionaries and have a distraction from her real issues.

Makes sense. She may not practice an organized religion but clearly believes in an entity and feels disappointed.

This question is bigger than your sister. Also none of us know your sister--why on earth are you crowdsourcing an answer when you're the one best placed to answer it?

People ask questions like this here all the time, even about minor children.

OP and sis both seem very confused. Sister needs therapy or self study to adjust her worldview so she can find a life that works for her among the horror.. something like stoicsism.

OP needs to stop antagonizing her.

OK, what changed 3 years ago? How long has she been like this?

After going through a trauma (to use today's phrasing) I was mad at the world. I didn't and don't believe in God, in the sense that he/she is this benevolent being. I still wonder though that IF God exists, then why (fill in the blank)? I was so scared and so p****d off.

It sounds like something has gone on with your sister, honestly. I'll bet she's more sick of it than you are. Maybe tell her that if/when she is ready to really talk, you'll listen. But, for the time being you need to step back.

Wow, so much judgment and anger toward an alleged loved one. Are you sure you are actually a person of faith, OP? If so, sounds like you have a LOT of spiritual work to do.

Sounds like she's going through a really tough time, and you want to sh*t on her weight and love life?

Who wants a sibling like you OP? Yikes.
