why is God so mean to me?

That's easy to answer, He's not. God will never leave you in the dark. i have a favorite picture of Christ knocking at a door. the cool thing about it is there is no door knob. it symbolizes how God won't just barge into your live uninvited, you have to let Him in. i also have a favorite poem called footsteps in the sand. it says that God loves you and will never leave you. when you see only one set of foot prints, it is then that he carries you. this means that God will never leave you. He is always there, no matter who you are, where you are, when, or how you do it, you just need to talk to Him. please trust me and give it a try. God is here, there, and every where. you can always find Him, if you try.\n\n*remember* "If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it"

Hello starcameo.. :)\n\nI used to be an atheist..so I know where he is coming from..he is not mean..he just does not know the truth as we do..I remember how I used to hate Christians for asking me all the time, do you want to know Jesus as your Saviour..his eyes are just blinded to the truth..we must Love everyone..especially those that call us names..for we are to walk, and talk like Jesus..\n\nWe must Love our enemies..pray for those that persecute us..\n\nI Love you Atheist..and I will be praying for you..and all here..Amen!\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ..

Your relationship with God is personal just like his is. Your actions might win him over just give it time and keep the communication between you open and honest.

Don't worry, about sin. God isn't one to get offended and throw you in to hell because it doesn't exist.  So just try to work on the communication thing. Sometimes family can be irritating, but you have an obligation to at least try to be nice to them.

I'm glad someone else feels this way.  It just seems so wrong to pray to anyone but God.  It says in the bible, you should address anyone, but God in your prayers.

I should imagine that God hates all religions.  Most wars have been fought in the name of one religion or another - and all in His name!  I should think he's fed up to the back teeth with it all.  All that is really required is for us to love one another; to treat each other with respect and compassion; to acknowledge God as our creator, and to have a personal dialogue with Him in the form of prayer.  To this end, I don't think He cares one iota where we choose to pray.

Because your spirit is equal to everyone elses. God is not handing out favors. It is your awareness that sets you apart. You are aware of the God inside of you. Pray inwards, that you will know what to do, you will do the right thing. Take responsiblity for your actions. God is not playing the game, you are. (Well, I think God is playing, but as you)

First and foremost of all, you are not under any punishments from God; however, this can very indeed be a sign that, you should start making some conversations with the Lord.  Take this issue into prayers.\n\nGod be with you.

It seems to be human nature to hate those who are different from us. I guess my advice is to show them that you don't need to believe in God to be a good person. Do volunteer work maybe. Or an easier solution would be to ignore them.

Honestly? God seems very distant most of the time. He doesn't speak to me to send any great signs or anything like that. I often feel like I'm left to fend for myself and figure out my problems on my own.\nHave you ever visited needhim.org?  I spoke with a woman there who opened my eyes to a few things. The one thing that stuck with me the most is that God is pleased with me for seeking Him. And even if I don't receive any audible answers, God will point me in the right direction and I'll always be where He wants me to be. And I'll say this again. How can I deny the existence of a God who allowed His son to be beaten and whipped to death just so I could go to Heaven?

God doesn't hate you, He more likely hates that things you are doing. If they are not all the way with Gods plans, and only half way, than u will struggle...\n\nRevelation 3:16:\n16But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spit you out of my mouth!

First of all you want your language, cause that's what got  u in trouble in th first language. Sweetie  the bible says that LIFE nad DEATH  r inthe tongue.So whatever U speak will take presidence. So if you speak negativity(jealousy, envy, hatred, curses, etc.) you are actually sowing that into yoru life.  U would need to then go to your friends and cierra and apologize, even if they do forgive u or don't forgive you, U got to be the greater person b/c u r the one that started this mess.  Next u r going to have to ride out the wave of this drama and let this be one of your life changing lessons that you have to be careful what u say and to whom u say it.  Next I woudl encourage that you stop lookin at cierra and anybody else an dtake a look at yoru sefl sweetie.  God made you perfectly.  The bible says u r the apple of his eye. That you are fearfully and wonderfully made, u have no need ot be jealous even a little bit of ANYBODY, b/c God made u the bomb all by yourself.  Look deep down on the inside and ask for God's hel in doing this , ask him to show you why u feel the need to be jealous of others. Why you do or say or behave in some ofthe way s u do.  And I promise u God will hear u, answer u, and begin to change those things baout yourself you wish  or need to be changed.  God wants u to be happy with what he gave u, because what he gave u was special and nobody else could get it. Pray to God for fogrigeness sweetie, he will no I Promise he will, then follow the other steps I mentioned.  Keep your head up, it will be better.

It is amazing to me, the people with the smarty answers -that continue to say there is no God and make fun, ARE the ones He shed His blood for. Can you imagine that kind of love?  Even the Bible says it is easy to be kind to someone who is kind to you. Pray for your enemies, be kind to them. Christ was the perfect example for us. \n\nTo answer your question about God not being able to watch His Son being beaten. I believe I have heard that the Father looked away when all the sins of mankind were put on His Perfect Son. That was probably the worst.

God hates sin.  God gets angry.  God weeps and cries.  God experieinces pain.\n\nGod is also perfect in these feelings--I, however, am not so perfect at those!

Because the christian god is a bully who indiscriminately kills whomever and whatever he wishes. We are just all just ants and he is the giant kid with a magnifying glass.
