The Faithfull Idiot
A christian man is working on his farm one blistering summer day. He is sad because the soil is so dry he can't plant anything. The christian looks to the sky and says. "God give me rain for your soil is too dry, I cant possibly rais any crops." In turn God gave him two days of rain. An atheist man however believes in no God but he still receives two days of rain. A month later the christian man is sitting at dinner head bowed and he said. "Oh lord thank you so much for my wife, my son and the bounty of crops, you give to me so much and I give nothing back. For this I am greatfull." The ateist sits silently with his family at dinner when he spoke. "We have plenty of crops this year, I believe we'll be making a sufficient amount of money if I do say so myself." The next day the christian farmer goes out and sees that his crops have been picked clean by crows. you see the christian had no scarecrow. "Oh lord" said the farmer, "what would you have me do now? Your crops, they're gone, I can't make any money without them." But this time God did not respond. the atheist, he had three scarecrows and untouched crops the same crops that came from the same rain meant for the christian. The ateist said. "Ah yes it will be a good harvest this year, we will live comfortably, and for the years to come." The christian says to his wife, "We're going to have to move, I haven't the money to support this farm. The crops were all we had but now we have nothing. Let us bow our heads and pray. Dear lord, we thank you for all you've done for us, we thank you for letting us live in this house, thank you for giving us eachother, all I ask God is that you bless us, help us, give us some hope. In Jesus' name we pray, amen." The atheist decides to retire from farming, move into a bigger house, he says. "things are good, Life... Is good." Months pass and the christain lays in the steet. No one paying any mind to him. His son has died of starvation. He and his wife lay, freezing, greaving in the streets. He says these last few words. "Lord, will you not end our suffering? Have I not given you prais every day? Did I not go by the Bible? Why won't you answer me?! All was silent, cold, the christian man cursed Gods name and threw the Bible down in anger. Laying ther a while wimpering befor freezing to death. The atheist is walking down the street, picks up the Bible and dusts it off. He looks to the sky and says. "Thank you"

what a story...damn I hope that atheist doesn't open that wretched book... I know I've looked through the pages most of my life... it took me a while before I stopped asking people that I thought knew more about why there were so many holes in the story.. stopped asking the hypocrites and preachers on the "inside" and instead looked inside myself with my own intellect and stop denying that that was all bullshit propaganda.. just a world trying to control us with simple answers (by untalented writers and rewriters what with all the holes and such) instead of admitting that no one has any idea of wtf is going on.. cheers!!

yah thanks for the coment man I wrote this as more of a snooty religious kind of thing because of the way I was raised christian and as I grew up and the more I went through the more my faith started to slip and the more foolish christianity seemed to me

Love the comment by Nathan too. I hate those idiots who let their children lay there till they're dead because 'god' who supposedly put everything here on earth for us, didn't himself
craft pharmaceuticals which would have saved their child's life. It's called natural selection folks; and it works.
