He’s not wrong about the sign

I hate to object, but God does not hate us. He loves us, so much so He sent His own Son to die on the cross for us so that all who believe will not perish but have everlasting life in heaven.

I can't truly believe that, but I won't argue against one's own faith. I'd keep my opinions about that to myself.

I do admit I may have taken a risk, but the kind of faith I have wants us to be open about it. It's just a question of how to approach it. You believe what you want to believe, though; I can't force you to change your mindset to the one I've got.

Its an abusiveness relationships,
He says he loves us
BUT
then does tearable things to us.

I have my own thoughts on the matter about God and gods/goddesses and the divine my faith and others faith and what not about it as a whole. I don’t always voice it and don’t want to and will not force on anyone else’s beliefs, but it’s not hatred.

That being said, I did get a good laugh given context, well done!

As the great sage Mark Twain noted--Coyotes are poor, out of luck, and friendless. The meanest creatures despise us, and the fleas would desert us for a velocipede.

But then there's that military surplus order arriving tomorrow...

You nailed the vibe on this one and conveyed the mood perfectly.

If I may, the Bible never said that humanity would NOT suffer in this world, my friend. In fact Jesus insisted that we most certainly would And that we would suffer greatly. His promise to us is that He has OVERCOME the world and has given us a chance at eternal life with him through the Faith, Forgives, Redemption and Love. The Word tells us that God treats us with kindness and fairness. He is the God of Mercy and Reason. However at the same time, God also tells us that life is unpredictable and can throw anything in our way, be it for good or for ill. God tests us everyday of our lives. Even the Lord's Prayer states, "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." One must work through temptation and fear and endure hardship, keeping the Faith, being selfless and teaching the Word to others in order for all of us to be delivered from evil. The perfect example is the story of Job (pronounced like Joe but with a B). He had it all because he respected and loved God above all else and refused to do evil. However, Satan (from the Hebrew word meaning "one who is opposed") suggests to God that Job is just staying on God's good side only because he rewards him and that his love is not genuine. But if God were to take away everything He had given to Job, then Job would "Curse Him to His face!" So God, to the Angels' surprise, agrees to the Experiment and allows the Satan to inflict suffering on Job. And Job loses EVERYTHING! His sheep, goats, camels, his crops, even his own children all in one day! On top of that Satan then asks to inflict Job with pain and Job is infected with boils and sores. And he didn't deserve it; God himself said so. Yet he still managed to keep his faith and prays to God. But in chapter 3, you begin to see the pain and anguish beginning to weigh on his soul to the point he begins wishing he was never born. His friends came over to to see what they could do to "help" him... by finding him guilty of some sin he might have committed. (With friends like these, who needs enemies? As they say) And it becomes a constant back and forth between Job and his accusers with them calling him out as guilty of a sin and him denying them all and claiming to be innocent, which he is. It's at this point that it all comes to a head and an angry Job demands that God come down and explain Himself as to why he's making him suffer when he had done no wrong. And God does so in the form of a giant storm cloud. However, God never mentions anything, not even a footnote about His conversation with the Satan. Instead God takes Job on a tour of the UNIVERSE! He then asks Job if he is cabaple of running or even understanding all of this if just for one day. Here, we need to remember that God is the Creator of everything from every star in the sky to the nucleus of an atom and beyond. He knows how everything works, what place they have in the universe and is always considering all of this when he makes His decisions, especially when it comes to prayers. And this is what the Bible calls His WISDOM. If a mere human were to try this, their brain would incinerate after the first second. And that's exactly what Job realizes. He could never be able to do God's job even if he wanted to. None of us can, henceforth we can never understand why or even how he makes his decisions. But in the end. It all comes down to one thing, God is in control. He has a plan, and He will not abandon us. As for Job, this leaves him humbled and repentant. Though he never learned why he suffered, he is able to move forward knowing that no matter what happens, God is with him and will always love him. And he continues to live his life in love and fear of the Lord. Afterward, for reasons unknown, God, in His Wisdom, gives Job DOUBLE of what he had lost, twice as much crops, twice as much animals and twice as much children and lives to be a great great grand father. If He had hated us, he would have never sent Jesus to save us. Yet it is always easier to put the blame on a higher power that we cannot see mostly because we're to ashamed to admit our faults. It's easier to commit a crime and live a life of reckless abandon because we, as the human race, don't want to put in the effort to live a healthy virtuous life. And that's because most of us find it to strenuous or constricting (speaking from experience). Yet that is NOT the point God is trying to make. The reason why we suffer is NOT without reason, but to make us stronger in the mind, heart and spirit. Jesus died in the name of the forgiveness of sins. The Abolition of sin will come after the Days of Revelation or the Great Tribulation when the King of Kings and Lord of Lords returns on the Battlefield of Armageddon. But that's another story. Christ Himself once said, "I will never leave you nore forsake you." You are no accident, you are NOT a mistake. He will save you even if your Faith is, as Jesus puts it, the size of a mustard seed. And our most dire situations can be a time of great opportunity; being utilized for the greater good when we ENDURE them in service of the Word of the Lord.


(I have no idea what a mustard seed is. All i know is that its smol)

A big thank you from me to you; it's very satisfying to know that I am not the only believer on this website.

Please know that I do not seek change your mind. Only to teach the Word as His Servant.

I understand. Even though I have been in despair for quite some time, one of the few things that keeps my humanity in check has always been "It will get better; it has to get better." While they do come in short bursts of satisfaction, they're relatively short, and it's back to being miserable. What I hope for in life is something that could be life changing for the better, and I feel that something like that would either come as absolute luck, or in the story of Job, something traumatic.
While I would like to believe in such fantastical things like gods, angels, spirits, demons, ...or even aliens, I have not yet experienced either of those to be remotely convinced. Which is why my faith in a lot of things have been so low and I am more jaded and skeptical in what people say about myths and religions.
Who is to say that a god may as well be no different from a child's imaginary friend? Only that a god is an imaginary friend that many people would believe in.
Anyway, that's only a short opinion about my beliefs.

Well as Ms. Frizzle (The Magic School Bus) always says, "Keep an open mind and you'll never know who will walk in." Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there. Seeing isn't always believing. Because, sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see (The Polar Express).

Nothing good ever comes without its drawbacks. It's the way of life. It's up to us to work through those drawbacks or around them that we can really be happy. It won't be easy; it never is. But that's why we should reach out to people who care for us and love us. And even if we fall on our own, we can still learn to pick ourselves up (Batman Begins).

Whatever you choose to believe in, try to keep an open mind. Because, like I said, anything can happen. And it might turn out to be the most beautiful thing you will ever see in your entire lifetime.

P.S. Sorry for the late response i've been caught up in a few things this past weekend. ^^;

Someone wrote ages ago that Coyotes are God's dogs.
Maybe is a messanger to us.... :)

And if I might also add, I'm saying all this because I trust know how you feel. Like you, I'm constantly telling myself that things will get better. These days, good things, like you said, seem only to come in short bursts. There are times I worry if I'm going to have a future at all. But, what really tries me is not being able to do anything or being too scared help because either I'm afraid that it comes to nothing or being killed. It's this feeling of powerlessness that desolates me. And when everytime someone tells me there's nothing I can do. That feeling grows inside me and I'm furious. But, I'm not as scared of dying as I am doing nothing while my country, my home, and the world goes to Hell. But I always have to step back, take a chill pill, and remind myself that I can't do anything without a proper plan. More over, I need to bring my own mental health into account. I have my own life to think about. I can't let the world's problems weigh my heart down; something I have to remind myself everyday. And I know there will be a time that I'll have a chance to step in and help, in one way or another, make my home a better place.

Looks like something out of a creepypasta or an analog horror.

...I honestly don't know how to feel about this work...

I get that feeling.
Also on a random note, this could have been a pretty good Halloween picture too.

God does not hate. God does not exist.
We are both responsible for our destinies and at the mercy of massive labyrinthian systems meant to favor the rich & powerful. We are here and we must make the most of what we have while helping to change the world for the better.

The world can be a cruel place, but it doesn't have to be that way. Not if we look out for each other.

While I may not agree with there being no God, I do agree that people are in charge of their own destiny for we were given free will. The Bible has many predictions which have so far come true. And there are still prophecies to be fulfilled. Yet, the Bible does not say when they will happen; probably for the best. In the end, things will take place in their own time. God has a plan, but our own lives are not written in stone. And the future, as I see it, is not fully written yet.

That's pretty accurate now that his movie has shelving out by WBD and David Zaslav.
