:but i am serious.
>>I am too.
:if god does exist he probably hates me but i really haven't done any thing wrong that isn't his fault due to the mind he gave me that makes my decisions. it is not my fault i think the way i do, he created me i didn't
>>In my reality God exists, and because I've screwed up the last 7 years of my life with drinking and drugging (I'm merely 22), I questioned the same things; Why did God create us imperfect? Sure, He gave us a will to decide things for ourself, but He still essentially created that, didn't He? If we think hard enough we can confuse ourselves into that place where minds are lost. I don't want to, but I do know that to save us from the hell (my friend, if you think this world sucks, try living in Hell until eternity is over) He sent a Son, his own creation just like us to forgive us and provide a means to reconciliation with Him. I've questioned and rebelled and denied it all for the better part of my life, and those years were also the worst facking hell I've ever known. Now I simply thank God every morning for giving me this life and the knowledge that He exists.
: i figure since i won't get the "pleasure" of remaining in hell when i die and god hates me too much to let me in heaven i will spend the rest of my life living in hell.
>>He loves you enough to make Himself real to you if you ask him to.
