Deadbeat Dad

Deadbeat Dad

God, I have questions for you.  If you created this world, why did you leave it unfinished?  Why did you create it so hostile to your children?  So hostile that thousands of us die every day of disease, starvation and murder.

Are you a just god? A fair god? 

In Proverbs 3 Verses 7 and 8, you give instructions that, if you were real, could provide food for every one of your faithful.  Surely a few of your recent converts in Africa believe in you so fully that your beneficence should shine upon them.  You MUST have at least 1% who believes in you with their whole hearts.  Just 1%. 

Proverbs 3

⁷ Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and shun evil.
⁸ This will bring health to your body
    and nourishment to your bones.

If you are real, why not help your children.  Even the most deadbeat of fathers sometimes helps their offspring.  Are you there, God?

We all want everyone on Earth to have health in their bodies and nourishment to their bones.  No one would disbelieve if you just created a bit of rain and provided them some seeds to plant so they could eat.

Surely, you must know that a nourished healthy body could worship you more than a sick one.  Even I know that and I’m just a human being.  I don’t think I’m asking too much here, God.

How about being a good sky-daddy and taking care of your kids?
