re: Perfect design my ass
One of the most unsymphathetic posts I've read on Bear.
A headache is not worth cursing your entire existence over, or holding a gripe against "some religious people" and God. Which by the way, what do you mean by some religious people? Just be honest and say Christians. You are not-so-subtly judging the faith of Christians because, as per the view you espouse in this post, they believe in something completely untrue.
Except the entire framing of this situation is just a*s-backwards from the start. Where does "perfect design" as a concept even figure into whatever you were ranting about earlier? You are the black man talking to a brick wall here.
Where is your proof even that "some religious people" believe in perfect design? Or push a belief that because every human is supposedly "built perfect", that when you aren't it's immediately your own fault, even with ailments out of your own control?
Let's make this clear. Christians believe that every human is "made in God's image". It does not mean that humans are forever perfect, it means they have the potential for perfection. Original sin prevents that for all of us. Adam and Eve were the only perfect humans and they sinned, making themselves imperfect and their descendants the same. It's that simple.
I have to ask, why are you so quick to blame God and "religious people" when you don't even know the entirety of how your mind, body and soul work? How sure are you about the circumstances of your ailment?
Furthermore, I find it really funny at the conclusion of your post:
Anyway, in the end the pill started taking effect, and I started being less hateful towards the Universe.
I'd like to call bluff on that. Since you felt your judgement was pressing enough to let the world know about it. The problem was over and yet you want to whinge about it more - it's almost like you are using your own ailment as an excuse to be a dick to an entire group of people for their beliefs. Now it makes sense that you wouldn't specify which religion you were judging.
I guess you can never, ever judge a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Muslim or a Jew. Only, Only judge Christians. Don't you know, they only drink beer from Adolf Hitler's pub!!!
