No god comes

Just read this story, another example of how the god these people follow never shows up to protect them. Putting aside the god crap, this is downright disturbing.
Ugandan rebels kill 400 in DR Congo: charity
KINSHASA (AFP) – Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army rebels killed more than 400 people in Christmas massacres in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the Caritas aid charity said Tuesday.
The rebels denied any responsibility and accused troops from DR Congo, Uganda and South Sudan of “bombing” the victims.
The LRA targeted a town where a Christmas Day concert was being held and a Roman Catholic church, and attacks were going on along the Sudanese border, the Catholic charity said in a statement.
Caritas workers say that “over 400 people have been killed in the attacks in an area of northern Congo including Faradje, Duru, Gurba, Doruma, and Province Orientale,” it added.
The archbishop of Dungu-Doruma, Monsignor Richard Domba, told AFP that at least 150 people had been killed at a Christmas Day service at Faradje and later, 80 at Duru and at least 200 others at Doruma and in the surrounding villages.
“It is a dramatic situation that we are living through here,” he said. “They (the rebels) are indescribably barbarous and savage.
“They kill with machetes, axes and clubs. They burn people alive with their property in their homes.”
The article states “The rebellion began in northern Uganda in 1986 after Yoweri Museveni came to power and blends a form of Christianity with traditional beliefs and extreme cruelty and brutality.” It’s just what we were talking about over here.

It’s pretty simple. they didn’t have enough faith. They did not pray hard enough. They did not get through to God. Because God is a busy sucker. If you don’t pray hard enough, or if you aren’t SERIOUS about your prayers He doesn’t hear you.
Oh, wait.
God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is infallible. He created the world from start to end and knew everything that was going to happen. In fact he made it so.
On purpose.
So, why cry for those people? It was his fucking plan. From the start.
So WTF. Stop crying people. In fact you should praise his fucking name for genocide. It’s his infallible fucking WILL!
“You cannot petition the LORD with prayer! You can’t fucking PETITION the LORD with PRAYER!”
Five points for the first one that gets the quote.

Because God is a busy sucker.
Yep, he is busy overseeing high school football games here in the USA and blessing big fat rich televangelists with pink hair and helping Benny Hinn perform fake “miracles” and helping Britney Spears earn a tv award, and he is busy with all those trivial prayers to help cheerleaders win tournaments, helping Mrs So and SO with her constipation problem, etc etc. etc. No time to help people who are about to be murdered!
Some of these people will finally get it. No god comes because no gods exist. If humans don’t come to the rescue, they are screwed.
Stop crying people. In fact you should praise his fucking name for genocide. It’s his infallible fucking WILL!
Very excellent point, Rich. Believers cry the loudest when these things happen. When their family members and friends die they cry and mourn (which they should because they are human) BUT they profess this wonderful afterlife they believe they are going to but behave as if they don’t believe it at all. I think most don’t and that is why so sad. Deep down, they know it’s all fiction.

Stardust,
First, thanks for the work that you do here.
Second, I can’t find that link to your astronomy page, could you post here again?
Third, the quote was (loosely) from Jim Morrison.
And finally, I really hope that what I wrote above doesn’t make me seem as if I was immune to the suffering in Uganda or anywhere else in the world.
It’s just that sometimes, whenever I read a story that has “god” in it, I get pissed off. And my first thought is about the delusional fucks that surround every item in the news.
“I just survived cancer. Thank god!” Well, I’m sure that the team of doctors will be glad to hear that.
“My car went off the high side and rolled three times. Bothe my children are dead. God saved my life. And my two children are in heaven because god needed two more angels.”
I want to tear my heart out when I see suffering. Luckily my heart is gone. Or it has a pericardium of titanium. Fuck.
Sorry, off on a tangent there. Don’t want to do a Chuckie here.
Love to all and have a safe and happy New Year.

Well it’s new years eve and for the life of me I just can’t feel much but melancholy, another year of watching societies everywhere regress to dumfuck land and 99 per cent of it revolves around ego driven religious peices of shit wanting their way all the time, hungry dogs scrapping over the bone of the lord, these apes and I’m not using that in a racist way,{ I fuckin hate racist arsewipes,} are another decline in humanity as religion takes us into the sewer, the middle east really has been the breedimg ground for all that’s sick in the world, although Hinduism is right there as far as fuck heads go, their going spare as well, capitalism has been the great catalyst for these scum as it supplies the weaponary for so much of the killers, sell oil buy gun ugg, the posting about how to know if your Taliban was a classic hey, a $3000 rifle $5000 rocket launcher but no money to buy a pair of shoes, fuckin classic, as 2009 roles in we as atheists are the only hope left for hunanity, I don’t mean that egoistically, we must be strong and never give in like the Raving atheist did when he gave up and joined the forces of evil, the dumb fuck got scared and jumped, as for Africa and what’s happening there, their all scared too, join a team and go a killin, the monotheist catch cry, I love being able to express my anguish here and swear my fucking head off to relieve some of the despair, so on a final note for 2008 I want to say Religion is for fuck head, Jesus is a peice of shit, I hope the devil fucks god up the arse and busts his roids, muhammad is a paedophile dirtbag and his followers ARE MURDERING puss bags, jesus fuckin christ that felt good. see you in 09 my sane friends.

Does anyone know of any secular charities that work specifically in that area?
Seems like no charity will help the situation, until we get to the root of the problem… Happy F’n New Year

Rich, it’s not really an astronomy page. Stardust Musings is mainly an atheist blog, but I toss in other topics, and interesting astronomy stuff…I have lots of links to astronomy sites in my sidebar that I read regularly.
And finally, I really hope that what I wrote above doesn’t make me seem as if I was immune to the suffering in Uganda or anywhere else in the world.
I didn’t think that at all. But it’s maddening while they piously go to their mythology temples repeatedly in these different places and just cannot get that their god never shows up, their god never exists and part of the reason why so many get killed is because their own religion backfires on them. Jumble up the weirdass Xian beliefs with the already strange beliefs of the people of that land (they are not going to give it all up) and you get something even stranger and even more violent.
“I just survived cancer. Thank god!” Well, I’m sure that the team of doctors will be glad to hear that.
It’s even more disturbing when the doctor says shit like that. My back surgeon, for instance, who performed my recent spinal fusion surgery. At my last visit he said “thank Gawd I am getting better” and alluded to the belief that Gawd helps him do “miracles”. I told him that I would hope that it is all those years and years of education and his intelligence that was behind it because if he is believing that some invisible imaginary friend is guiding his hands, I won’t be going back to him if I need more operations! What if he slips or whatever? He will write it off to “Gawd’s will” or some crap like that.

Christianity can get pretty weird when it gets incorporated into local beliefs. Like the Lord’s Resistance Army in Africa, the Taipings in China waged an aggressive war against the Qing Dynasty and for a brief period ruled over a large chunk of China. The group’s leader, who had earlier failed in his quest to land a civil service job, styled himself a descendant of Jesus Christ. The Qing Dynasty, with the aid of the European powers, was finally able to exterminate them.
