FB users praise gawd for disturbing story about the rape of a woman...

The story itself is idiotic. The reactions to it are disturbing to say the least.

There was a young girl who decided to take a short cut home from school. The fastest way to her house was to cut through an alley. The girl approached the alley way. She saw a man standing like he was waiting for someone. She said a prayer: Dear Lord please lead me through this alleyway, safe and unharmed. Amen." The girl walked through the alley and past the man. Later on that night the girl decided to watch the news. She saw that man had murdered and raped a young girl. The police said the man told them another girl had passed through the alley 10 minutes before. They asked him why he didn't attack the first girl. He said there was a man walking beside her...

Lord is with us. We deny His presences but He is always there. 95% of people will just read this and shut their phones, but be among the 5% that will read & send to friends! This is a test to see who has more followers.. Jesus or Satan. If Jesus, comment n like the post, Be Blessed.

while the story that Barack Obama was born on American soil of an American mother is pretty suspect.

looks like variations of this BS story have been going around since 2000. things worded in such a fashion as a "fable" rather than a news article should send the reader straight to snopes.

so i could ram the snopes link down their throats, along with making the point that God allowing another woman to be raped in your place is NOT a ringing endorsement of "his mercy"

2000 is just when it was collected by Snopes.

Sounds like one of the standard scare'em stories bible thumpers tell their kids.

In other words, she wasn't alone.

Edited to add: So the believers think that God or Jesus walked beside HER because she prayed.

Too disgusting for words because it implies that others who were victims didn't deserve such protection, or whatever. I hate trying to wrap my brain around their logic.

In the original, it was bandits who were going to attack a camp, but instead saw a large armed group in the camp. The people in the camp prayed for safety, and the guards were angels that were gone by the time the people in the camp woke up.

This is an updated, truly hateful version.

... to understand that I share the world with a very large number of dangerously stupid peple that spend the vast majority of their brainpower on reaching only for explantations of things around them that make them feel comfortable about themselves.

Oh well. Never mind, eh?

Indeed, the Facebook post in question is nothing if not hate towards those who don't believe.

Why can't they just believe what they want, and move on?

34. Because THEY have so much hate for those who don't believe.

AND because far far too many of them believe it is their duty to ram said god down the throats of non-believers.


And then there are the myriad stories (plenty in the Bible) just like this one, in which God "saves" one prayerful individual whilst condemning those who fail to kiss sufficient divine arse to some of the most disgusting fates imaginable.

On the other side of the coin are the millions of identical "conversations with God" to which the answer is "die in a ditch".
