[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]God does not bring you misery, so he most certainly is not going to give you 'just enough' of it [/b][u]
I hate that saying.
I think it is most often a perversion (for lack of a better word ) of 2 Corinthians 12:9 
9 " But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

I agree. There us a misguided belief thatGod somehow caused or allowed people's suffering. God does not cause anyone's suffering. [/quote]

Yes he does, he does evil as well:
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7, KJV)

Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? (Amos 3:6, KJV)

Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? (Lamentations 3:38)

It's quite clear the Abrahamic religions is a pestilence  upon society and is no different  than the other made up myths of the time.
The Greek and Norse gods also caused harm and evil for various reasons such as jealousy or just amusement.  The god of the bible is no different.

Ironically Christians only believe he's there for the good stuff like sunny days and when someone survives surgeries, not realizing if he were all loving he wouldn't put people there in the first place.  [/quote]
Your opinion and interpretation.
I don't just believe God for the sunny days -- so I don't need you to tell me what I belive, but thanks anyway[/quote]
