I have no desire to get married based on my experiences with women and I have no desire to have kids so future generations are irrelevant to me because I'll be dead. The fact is God has done nothing to address the issues in MY life. He's instead given me the cards he has and I've had to struggle with them. God knew or knows how much certain things( my height, my lack of dating success, My relationship with father ect) have effected me and my self esteem and confidence and how they overall have affected my quality of life and he choose to ignore it. Long term happiness and gifts? What the hell are you talking about? I'm sick and tired of Christians always pointing to the Bible and speaking on some promises of something that may never comes to pass or best case scenario happen in another life. I'm sick of hearing that BS. That does NOTHING for me in 2017 at 27 years old. NOTHING. You know what you can believe whatever you want. That's your right. I just know for me I can't have faith in scriptures in a book. I can't have faith in something that happen 2000 years ago when I wasn't even a thought in a supreme beings mind. Follow me, and I will lift your burden(or however that scripture goes). He didn't any of that when I was 12, and he ain't going(and has done any of it now) too now, and quite frankly since he cares nothing about my happiness I see no incentive to follow him or to claim he's such a good god because he hasn't been to me. Says he wants a relationship with you but only offers a tougher life following him. Well if that's the case I can struggle and be unhappy all by myself. I need a "friend" lord and savior who cares about my life and happiness and he fukking doesn't. Maybe I'll feel different in 10-15 years but as of now I don't care for him and I absolutely hate all forms of religion. * drops mic*
