I seldom watch a televangelist for more than a couple of minutes.

 I can't stomach it.  I saw this infomercail called the 'prophets touch' and it was all I could do not to call them and preach lol. My in laws listen to Meyers and Osteen a lot, read their books. I had to gently tell my mother in law that if we have our "best life now", that could only be true if we are on our way to hell.

I was driving a couple I knew somewhere on the weekend and they were sitting in the backseat.

The boyfriend was drunk and suddenly he got angry and started hitting and threatening to kill his girlfriend.

We stopped off somewhere, got out, and he began throwing objects at her.

I think they were unopened beer cans. Cripes he could have killed or severely maimed her.



I got so scared and fearful for her safety that when she got in and we drove off without taking him with us.

He phoned her back and demanded we turn back but I just kept on driving.



That incident really traumatized me and I'm still angry at the guy.

He was so awful that he was worse than the most violent and ill behaved child I've ever encountered.

He was scary and I really thought he was gonna kill her or physically destroy her.



I'm not terribly religious, but at that point I actually wished there was a God.

At that moment, I knew what pure evil in humans looks and sounds like.

And when you see it you actually wish that some higher power would deliver us from that iniquity.



I dunno. Maybe the hand of some God was guiding me to save her that night.

Any event, that incident still bothers and haunts me a great deal

I looked up to see the clouds were gold, the sunset sky was so beautiful, and then "I would die for you" by prince came on the radio.  God is comfort and deep inner peace ♡

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:12.  You know they call alcohol "spirits" for a reason. You have to forgive that man. I think God showed you iniquity like that for a reason. The fact that you SAW it, for what it is, is meaningful.  When you see your own iniquity, oh man.

With respect and sympathy you think THAT represents the evil humans are capable of?



Oh, man...you ain't seen nuthin'.

 It's one thing to see some evil, have knowledge of evil. We toss around the word evil to label things we inherently know are wrong. Then you have a moment where the "scales drop off your eyes", and you actually see the evil...with more than your mind. You see it crystal clear, and it is traumatizing. It's not simply the drunk ranting guy that stabbed him in his core....it was the evil in it that God allowed him to see.

How immersed would you say you are in religion?
Beware of Gaslighters!

Oh...deeply....

I don't understand something about the whole God thing....



You can be a huge piece of shit and do terrible things in your life and all will be forgiven if you repent while a person who has been decent and who has done nothing terribly bad will not go to the kingdom of heaven.



I can't help but feel just a little resentful of the born agains who got to fuck around while the rest of us behaved.

Mark 10:18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone

I said decent, not good :)



Why not just do terrible things and find God at the end of it and go to Heaven?!
