Talk:Why I Became an Atheist/@comment-26394749-20180725175322

The saddest part was when the dog died. I could care less about the brainwashed, tortured people, but damn why kill that poor dog!? Why couldn't the writer have made the guy steal the dog and run away with him? Also, I really wanted the guy to be gay and love Brad back. And take him out of the cult. Brad's punishment was castration, I'm assuming. Doesn't mean the guy couldn't have loved him back, though. Either way, at least it had a happy ending.

Also, I'm religious, and I think that yes, God allows this stuff. Why? Free will. We choose evil. It doesn't choose us. God gave us a choice, and most people choose evil. Sadly, I'm probably one of them, since I frequently think about murdering my abusive father. I've been abused and hurt my entire life, but I still believe in God. God didn't make my father abuse me. My father chose that on his own. My father will get his punishment when he goes to Hell. I'll probably go to Purgatory or Limbo or whatever. No direct track to paradise for me, I'm sure. I'll have to at least repent for my sins. Unless God forgives me because of my circumstances...
