I admit that I have not read all these posts, so what I say might already have been said or whatever. That is, IMO sometimes people do bring bad experiences on themselves and then blame a god.

The God I believe in hates sin, but not the sinner.

Sometimes crap just happens, too. Like my falling down stairs in August. I'll be months finally healing. In my case, though, I admit to saying something to somebody and not looking where I was putting my foot.

(Is this "religious" talk?)
