It normally seems to happen the first time someone tries apply thought and logic instead of just swallowing all the bullshit we get spoon feed all our lives. Or some people who are so incapable of standing on their own 2 feet that they rely on God for every bit of strength they have go through it the first time they really find out that life fucking sucks and bad shit happens. You know, "God how could you let this happen!?" And if you are going to boil them down to one rule, it would actually be "Thou shall not Covet". But there isn't one rule. there are ten. Don't blame me man, I didn't write them. Quit frankly, everyone goes through it at some point in their life. Some more then others. Some go atheist, some convert to something else, some go fanatic, and some just suck it up and move on. The point is, when someone is going through one, the worst, and quite frankly cruelest, thing to do is mock them and do things like call them ignorant, or imply that their faith is weak, etc. I spent a lot of time trying to find out just what my beliefs were, and where I stood on the God issue. It was a very confusing time in my life. I think I really did go just a little crazy for a bit. But in the end, I came out stronger for it, with a surer grasp on my faith then I ever had before. So don't give me that "with enough faith and enough god" line. It's crap, and anyone that has ever dealt with the issue knows it is. And it's just the kind of condescending attitude that makes people want to bash the believers. If you want to be a Christian, then try practicing a little compassion and understanding instead. You know, WWJD.
