My Christian Theism gets Personal!

For some weird reason it is comforting to believe a god of some kind is watching over them... However I don't know about you but I Want to know someone I can see, feel, touch, and smell cares about me... I mean God can't hug me and say everything is going to be ok... If it can It never did through my rough childhood..... I think its better for a child to know you care about them not just preach about how some magical being does.
As A child I Believed in God however over time after praying and receiving no help I started to think God hated me or something...
With God in the mix I felt like there something else now that didn't care about me...[This message has been edited by DC85, 03-14-2004]

I understand that I can't get everything I want I even understood that then... However as I said God never so much as seemed to even care about my existence.... He never gave me comfort...
I mean What would you say to a father that just Sat back and did noting for and never showed them that he cared at all? (like my father and mother) We called my father a dead beat Dad.... should we call your God a dead Beat God? After all He never at all showed me he cared for me at all.... So what your saying is it God that my life better? Last I checked it was hard work that did it.... I only Became a better person AFTER I stopped believing... was it Gods plan for me to become an Atheist/Agnostic?Even as Christen I never understood why people thank God for the food they are about to eat.... I mean Last I checked I worked my BUTT off to put that food on the table... The only one I have to thank for that is myself as far as I can see...

I help people all the time. I don't do it Because God Told me to or Because it says it is the right thing to do in some book.. or Because I want to go too heaven and not hell. I do it Because I want to... I like helping people. If I have something better why not share?
