Like I thought. What you mean is that God is arbitrary.
At the heart of Christian theology is blame the sufferer. You assume my outlook is due to my ungratefulness or bad state of spirit. Trust you that miracles can happen? Believe me, I've seen miracles too. Like the many ones used to string me along until something I worked very hard for all my life was just within reach. Then wham! All gone. Trust me, I am also old enough to have seen God rewarding the unjust and mean-spirited SOBs all over the planet. Which he just did in this case.
Why should removing "me" help when I'm not talking for everybody else? This is my experience of God.
If you or anyone wants to share your specific experiences with life similar to mine and tell me how you deal with it, and how you experience God has not being cruel, please do. But please spare me the dimestore wisdom.
