I have a very severe, very rare post birth defect. It's a mix between a terminal lung disease, cardiovascular problem, tendon elasticity problem and cognitive issue. Think cystic fibrosis with tachycardia, with a mix of mild dementia. The prognosis is ... shit to say the least. Some of the major problems though that have become worst over time are becoming even more apparent now. I noticed that my lungs sound horrible, and have become so reactive to the elements, i get sick close to once a week. I can barely do any exercise anymore, since that make me sick too. Sadly I know how this ends, and it ends in a corpse, and the severity of the symptoms tell me that the condition is accelerating in its decline. I could get away with being healthy looking 10 years ago, but now, its become clear my body is failing on me. The problem is its getting really hard to bullshit this disease as inconsequential at this point

Your original question was this:

”If you are religious, doesn't your religion dictate that "God" wants you to experience this?”

I took it as a genuine question from you. But it wasn’t. Because you quickly followed up with your own answer to the question. Which makes it a rhetorical question from the beginning. Which necessarily means that you were never interested in an actual Christian answering your question.

You already have your mind made up that if there’s a god, he’s a mean guy or something.

Ok fine. Believe whatever you want.

I’m not offended that you have a different opinion. I’m offended that you couched your question as being genuine, but then it never was..and then when being called out on it, you tried to flip it around as if I’m offended because of your belief.

No, I’m offended because you were disingenuous from the beginning, and then tried to act like you weren’t. Some people might call that lying. I don’t like liars. Sorry, not sorry.

Beyond that, I think it’s silly when people who don’t even believe in God somehow also hold the opinion that the god they don’t even believe in is a nasty fellow. You can’t not believe in something and then attribute qualities to something or someone who you don’t even believe in to begin with. That’s cognitive dissonance at its finest. And that’s precisely why I’m saying that talking to you about this subject is a waste of my time.

It would be like if some clown started telling me about how a guitar should be played or about how scales work when he’s never even touched one and I own five guitars and have been playing for 25 years.

In this analogy, I’m the guy with 25 years experience playing and owning guitars, and you’re the other guy. If you’re asking me a genuine question about the guitar, I’m happy to answer it. But if this is just an exercise of you first asking a question, but then revealing that you’re really only interested in telling me your firm opinion about playing guitars when you don’t know the first thing about them, it’s a total waste of my time.

Hopefully that makes sense.
