Research for Parousia
I'm severely disappointed in reading Revelations in the Bible.. and in wasting my time w/ this retarded book I wasted $15 on at Hastings to translate the craziness in Revelations. o_O; Instead of giving me any REAL help it rants over and over "Are you saved? Do you believe he's your savior?" Blah Blah Blah. "He's coming! Oh how COOL!" He says over and over.
This guy is seriously pissing me off. LOL! Yeh, so apparently, and I'm stupid for not having know this, I guess... God is the one who sends all this massive bullshit down on earth to torture all the humans for 7 years.. this is what they call "Tribulations". I guess for... having worshipped the Beast or whatever. It really makes me sad to read that God would be that harsh.
Am I just too naive? I was taught by my mom that God was a forgiving God. That he was GENTLE and Kind. And all I'm reading about is him being FURIOUS and Angry and inciting his "VENGENCE" Upon those who don't accept him. Egomania? Maybe. He's supposed to be a god of design and order. It makes me sad to know that even though we were created to be his children.. his things made in his image.. his FAMILY... That he would do such a thing. I mean.. with anyone else.. if they were your family.. no matter how much someone scorns you or dislikes you in your family.. don't you still love them? And hope no harm comes to them? And would usually do anything in your power to keep harm from coming to them?
And yet here's this guy with this... Limitless power.. who created us.. created all our destinies.. Knows the future for EVERYONE... And yet doesn't do anything about it. I can understand during our lives.. Tough love, right? We make our own choices as humans and have to suffer the consequences and get burned for doing something wrong.. but.. Ultimately... In the very end.. He seems like he just wants to torture the part of his Family that wont or can't accept him.
And this is what I mean when I say that I believe that God Exists.. and I never deny that because.. I dont see how he CANT exist.. but.. I'm not a follower. That doesnt' mean that I'm a follower of Satan.. or a follower of some other pagan god or a follower of anything else. It just means.. I disagree. If he's really supposed to be this Awesome guy w/ this great majestic glory that we're all supposed to love him to pieces and want nothing more than to sit in his throneroom for the chance to bask in the light radiating from him.. to maybe catch a small glimpse in that crowded room from him then... shouldn't there be more? Do we all worship him because he's so great or is it out of fear? Can you honestly love something you fear? Isn't FEAR even a SIN?!
Wasn't even in Job that it was BECAUSE Of Fear.. that was the doorway for Satan to take everything from him? Because he feared it it was his own doom? If that's the case then... They say "Fear God." Isn't that just opening the door to letting Satan come in and rip your heart out of your chest and stomp all over it while you watch for 5 minutes as your brain shuts down and you writhe in pain?
Seriously.. Are they working TOGETHER?!
I really don't understand this Christianity thing. Why is God supposed to be so fucking great, then? I can't understand it at all....
