The folks who say sin is to blame are making heavy judgement. I have depression. Who are they to look down their noses at us? They are standing on a high horse. Saying we suffer because we sin is dangerous and hurtful. They are kicking us when we are down. I think maybe we have something to learn from our affliction, but it is not because you are bad. I am trying to be kinder to myself. I regularly feel bad about slacking in life and not volunteering more. I try to tell myself that I am a decent person. These people saying such a horrible thing make me quite angry. They are wrong.
