Love and Blame

if a person had the money to give their child the best of everything,the wisdom to teach them the best of everything,the ability to protect them from anything and chose not to, everyone would call them bad parents...so what of god???? he has all this so-called power and yet uses it for what???

I hear people thank him for ALL good things and say in the same breath he isnt at all responisble for the bad, wow what a double standard that is. I hear those people talk about how we humans are responsible for all the bad and not capable of any good on our own and even if we do something that seems good it doesnt really matter or at least not as much as it could have if we did it for god....

we would never accept such a notion about a human (who admittedly have limits) but so many profess as fact that god is without blame though he unlike us supposedly has the power to rid the world of evil and yet we are made to feel responsible and guilty for all the bad...where is that fair?? how is that just??

now i have had christians say i am anti christian and i am to a point but i am also anti all religion to some extent(i dont like atheistic ideas either), thats the fitst time i mentioned a specific religion but i guarantee you most christians that read this will take it personally about their faith, i dont see muslims or jews or wickens as any more or less just, all think they have all answers or at least can explain most of the "important" things, but all wrongfully place blame and condemn others. I am against anything that is exclusionary.

my point...get over yourselves you believe what you believe based on the words and numerous changes and interpretations to and of those over the last 2000 years (every major religion has some kind of book), basically you are fucked because you live by a set of archaic rules (gender roles) that often are used to exalt some and put down others, yes even the mainstream does it, its no different than some magazines that make people feel like they arent good enough if they dont look a certain way or own certain things. All objective crap that some people believe as fact, its bullshit.

You are sadly mistaken my friends...i see people who profess there various faiths and some live out love in their lives but too many are very selective as to who and how they love, if you are in favor of not letting some people get married, if you are in favor of cuttin benefits for the poor,sick and elderly, if you believe that some life isnt as precious as others (hunting-ill use an animal for food like nature does but not for sport,abortion- if the mother is in danger or was raped then it is a necessary evil,the death penalty-too many flaws, we are playing god) you are wrong, flat out, i make no apologies for loving everyone and wanting everyone to have equal rights rights from human to dog to tree, all are precious in my eyes.

Yes we people are responsible for some terrible things but we are capable of such beauty too, I will not place all blame and no good on myself, i am capable of evil, yes without a doubt, but i can also love like no one else can, we all have that ability, if we choose to use it.

Generational Battle

i recently fell into a discussion of generations, with the older generation and even some of mine claiming that this "younger generation" are spoiled,selfish,entitled and not very kind or smart, well i of course being part of this generation have a problem with that.....one being the generations before us had plenty of problems too, and two, they raised us!! so if there is a problem with us, they started it, and i was told that when children grow up they are responsible for their own actions, that true but see it is a parents responsibilty, at least partially, how come everyone seems to agree that that we are spoiled and entitled...who instilled that in us??? our parents! also idk who you know but i meet just as many selfish old people as i do young, i at least have hope that the young can/will change, older people have a much harder time getting out of their own head, the older generations love to preach responsibility, and yet blame alot of things solely on the younger, if parents arent responsible for how their children are raised, then who is?? but again, the older generations had/have their problems too, and if you asked their parents they would say the same thing about them that they do about us, its all perception, but it does start with parents, i am intelligent,kind and responsible because thats what my mother instilled in me at a young age, it wasnt easy but she worked hard, whats a copout is, if your children decide not to live with kindness that "it wasnt my fault, i tried" ,parents to a point cant be held responsible, but they are at least a little responsible, in almost all cases...its hypocritical to say that parents need to raise their kids right and give credit to the parents when the child turns out good, but then dismiss them as rebels if they act differently...o and i know plenty of kids who grew up to be better than their parents...like me, raised without a father , im already 10 times the man he is.
My mother wouldnt call me spoiled or entitled because she raised me right for the most part, but alot of older people that dont even know me lump my entire generation into the glob of selfish idiots..not fair at all, and most dont want to take any responsibility for their role, my mom didnt let me get away with murder, quite a few of the older generation let their children get away with stuff or didnt educate them about others,  like.. alot of parents just set up rules and expect things to happen, without talking with their children about the why of things, do this, dont do that..but why? values are not rules, they are a guiding force that people have to understand to use throughout their lives, there is a common attitude that children are to be seen and not heard, that creates alot of problems, like anger and frustration, are you going to listen to someone that makes you mad?? no you arent... i get told that theres no parenting handbook, actually there are thousands but i get what people mean...there is also no report card though..most parents claim that they did their best, gave their kids more than they ever had...but some are lying and some just dont know,  in school, say 5th grade, did you get to fill out the grades and reports on your own report card, no i dont think so,the teachers did, so they could tell your guardians what kind of student you are and how you perform... but parents want to tell me what kind of parents they are/were, isnt their perspective going to be skewed? Answer is yes, to those that think they did their best even if they didnt will say they did everything they could though thats a lie, and others that just didnt know or didnt execute properly will think the same. My father for instance, he probably thinks i didnt turn out that good because i have my own mind and i question his version of things. Well boo hoo, the only things he ever taught me were how not to be.  I get told that young people dont understand respect and think they know everything, thats true about some, but not me and many others i know, if you think about it, things like racism,sexism and stubbornness (the refusal to accept new ideas) are way more prevalent in the older generations, my generation not without our flaws, are easily more open minded, id like to see you question that fact.
