[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]

A lot of what you are quoting is from the Old Testament and taken out of context.
Bottom line is this, you evidently don't believe and are trying to have an intellectual interpretation of the Bible in order to prove it is not true and just a myth.
What is your point?
You are not going to convince me it is not true and I am not going to convince you that your interpretation and understanding is wrong.
You are smart and I am smart, so please don't condescend to me because we believe differently.
There are people who have never known love, that doesn't mean it is not real, it is definitely not something you can mathematically quantify or scientifically prove, but I bet you believe in that.[/quote]
