[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=liamw]I think a lot of this lies in us as people, when something good happens in out life, like a promotion, we are quick to credit our hard work, and give no Glory to God. [b]We as a people are quick to take the good that happens upon ourselves but blame God for the bad, that isn't the way it works folks[/b].[/quote]

OP here. I see the opposite. The people I know are quick to praise god for curing a relative of cancer, sparing their family in the tornado, allowing them to escape from the criminal with gun. However, they have no answer for why god let the other child die of cancer, killed the neighbors in the same tornado, and allowed the criminal to kidnap, rape, and kill the neighbor girl. The same people who praise god as omnipotent toss up their hands and say "we don't know god's ways" when confronted with horrors god could supposedly stop. Thus, my confusion. I realize that deep belief in god "answers" these questions for some and disbelief answers them for others, but so far I've found nothing that can remotely satisfy my questions. Thanks for your input. [/quote]

I feel like at the core of those people, is a profound, absolutely terrifying fear of their god. Highly praise god for the good, discredit god for the bad (lest god come at them for thinking that way). Almost reminds me of a sort of Stockholm syndrome. [/quote]
