Went on a trip with my mom and sister (very religious Christians), and we got in some trouble.
My mom insisted that God would help us, and protect us, and wanted all of us to keep praying. And she wanted me to pray too. Aye Carumba! I didn't, but it drove me nuts. We worked our butts off to get out of trouble, WHICH we did, with NO help by the way.
Sigh... just bugs me that she thinks she can't do anything without God's help. I used to think that way and it totally messed me up.
She wants me to just assume we will be fine because we said a prayer?! Seriously?!!
First off, whose to say there is a God listening to us. And second off, I know there have been thousands if not millions of people who have said prayers, and they were NOT helped.
Good lord. Not for me. none thanks.
Hope is one thing. Blind faith is another. I hope all the time sure... but I don't need to pretend there some guy in the sky in order to have hope. And I sure don't just rely on hope to get me out of jams.
