Goodbye Jesus

Please Forgive Me?

Margee, that was one of the most beautiful testimonies I have ever read. You speak straight from your heart and in so doing, you speak about what others feel, too. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Well done. Standing ovation with flowers and a hug.

Hi Margee,

 

I have felt your pain in a number of your posts.

You are a gifted writer and have an uncanny ability to express your feelings so that a person reading your words

can immerse themselves in your experience.

 

This post was an excellent display of your disappointment with a god that failed to live up to his

promises to you. I don't think that you or anyone needs to ask forgiveness from an abusive father figure though.

It is almost like asking an abusive husband to forgive you for not looking forward to his next beating.

 

You need no forgiveness Margee. Just live what is left of your life to the fullest.

Free from the shackles of the abuser.

Margee, that was very moving! You describe the emotional struggle of letting go very well. The sadness, pain, guilt. There is nothing to forgive, there is no god to hear. You've done nothing wrong. If god existed he would make sure we couldn't deny him.

One last quick discussion. Why didn’t you make us the way you wanted us to be in the first place? It could have been so simple – you are god! Why tempt us in the garden? Why make hell? Why scare people? Why would you do this to us? I have been taught that all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour will go to heaven, but the amount of reward in heaven will be directly related to how closely each one followed God's will in his life. I really tried to do this. Likewise, all those who reject Jesus Christ will go to hell and will be punished to the degree of how much evil they committed in their life.

 

 

 

Margee, thank you, you've said it all! Excellent!

Absolutely magnificent. A breathtaking prayer, one of the most sincere I've ever heard.

And yet some say we weren't really Christians. I suggest they aren't truly Christians. If anyone reads this and comes away untouched, they must have a seriously hard heart.

Every time you post something Margee, I can see the sincerity in your heart, and it reflects what I felt, and sometimes still do. I think you speak for so many of us! The devout Christian would do well to read your posts and see the agony one goes through, wrestling with the existence of God. They cannot say we choose to not believe. They cannot say we are rebelling. All they can say is that we are genuine. And your posts, especially this one, reflect that.

I just don't know how to thank you all for the kind remarks about my letter. I have had some very sad things happen to me in my life (things that I can never tell) and I probably was at stage one,(thoughts) of a plan to end my life. Life without god makes more sense to me, because now I understand, 'wrong place-wrong time' and the whole question of 'where were you god, when this happened'? doesn't need to be discussed any further.

 

People can be monsters, people can be cruel, people are just animals and a lot are 'still back in the cave'.

 

Now I understand. I don't need to forgive. What a relief. I can let go. that's all I have to do. Now I just have to figure out how to be really happy and live life before I die and don't go to heaven. Yes,I am crying right now because this is so hard. Saying goodbye to the last thing you had hope in, is unbearable.

 

But I know I can do it - you guys are my 'god' right now. It's like your loving this unknown person you never met before, back to health. Thank you all so very much. From the bottom of my heart..................................

Yes, you can do it, and do it you will!

 

Several advantages to having us as your "god"; you don't have to grovel to us, praise us, sing silly songs to us(unless you want to!), pray knowing that nothing will happen, worry about hell and heaven.

 

In return for not doing all those things we will offer REAL love and understanding, albeit at a distance across the ether, but you will feel it.

If I may revert to a former life, "AMEN, SISTA!" that so reflects my own experience. You will find the sense of freedom comes as you no longer see things in black and white but rather many shades of grey and even color! So much to learn now - from all sources of rational thought. So many people to 'fellowship' with and enjoy without the pressure of converting them. That is the freedom I feel and the excitement in anticipation of new discoveries and friendships on the horizon!
