Is it normal to be afraid of some sort of higher being?

  • He is a good guy. He is watching after you, not just watching to catch u screw up :) He is a powerful friend who has your back. Hope this perspective helps!

    • Yeah and the next guy says god will smite you for being gay and having premarital sex. One thing I hate about you high and mighty Christians is you can't make up your mind. You have like 40 different versions of how God 'really' is each to fit the next person's individual need. If there were really one true god there'd only be one version of the truth. And you know what you say to this? 'It's complicated' 'God has his reasons' Which really isn't an answer. It's not a valid argument in the least. Truth is you have no clue what you're worshiping, and it's pitiful.

      Me? I have a religion it's called real fucking life. I worship the beauty of life and death as it happens on earth. My religion goes by only one truth. Shit happens, and there's really not much you can do about it. You live you die but the world keeps turning without you, and that right there is a fact that doesn't change. Take it as a good thing take it as a bad thing it doesn't matter, it is what it is.

    • If you are talking about some superior being, what some might call god, I don't see him "watching after" a whole lot of people. If so he's doing a pretty shitty job of having their back or being much of a friend to humanity. How many children died today, from violence, starvation and disease on this planet? Innocent children, who never had much of a chance to live, and certainly did no harm to anyone or the world.
      No, if you believe in god, then you must believe that your god is a cruel, horrible thing or just totally uncaring for humanity.

      • What an attitude... God has his reasons. Besides there are also terrible things like rich adults like you who are more unhappy than the people you were describing who live in war torn countries and third world countries... I guess even God cant rightfully fix stupid.

        • I'm not at all unhappy. I just can't believe in the unjust and horrifically evil thing god would have to be to exist and allow such misery on earth.

            • Horseshit.
              Some mother kills her 2 month old child; how much happiness could make up for that?

              • I thought you were talking about things like natural disasters and crap and not things that certain individuals do to each other. Everyone has choices in life and it's not God's fault that people decide to hurt other people.

                P.S. Remember that I am Agnostic and not a Christian, I didn't mean to come off as a religious person, I'm just saying that if the world was flawless there would be no such thing as happiness.
