Brosephine WiresGod will never give you more than you can handle, unless you were born in the wrong place or don't have money. That makes God super mad.
Thx4SharingJerk@JoParkerBear that’s on you, should have been born somewhere else

@JoParkerBear there is no god
Aunty Miche🛡🇺🇦@mfreeman @JoParkerBear Pretty sure they're making a joke
YFNA@JoParkerBear [shakes omnipotent fist] MERITOCRACY IS REAL 😤
Nina Schuyler@JoParkerBear Do you mean Dog?
Heather @JoParkerBear @MarvClowder it’s so weird, the Bible has all these verses about feeding the hungry and giving them shelter, even your enemies. I can’t find anything that mentions how you do it.
Danielle De L'Acadie@Ellinorianne @JoParkerBear @MarvClowder
Because it's not really a cookbook.
@Ellinorianne @JoParkerBear @MarvClowder
Today I learned that someone removing a post does not remove the replies. Or at least I can't find what I replied to.
The post I'd replied to pointed out the Bible doesn't specify who should feed the poor. Government or church.
It's not laid out because the assumption is that it's a human responsibility.
Kevin@JoParkerBear always remember that god is a vengeful god.
Jen Resisted@threeio @JoParkerBear gods are just a reflection of the men who create them.
AnthonyUplandpoetWatkinsand a little bit of a silly fellow
Ya Estoy Cucho@JoParkerBear * cries in third world
A.W.Ford, the Curious Curator@JoParkerBear @godpod care to weigh in? ☝️
admin@JoParkerBear And as per the Prosperity Gospel, The Lord shall smite you for your lack of faith and poverty lol
Mark Mason@JoParkerBear also sometimes god gives people more than they can handle at random. Weird sense of humour I guess. tbh I don’t like the guy.
Alejandro Becerra@JoParkerBear I'll make sure I'm born in the first world next time.
Ignacio Ramirez@JoParkerBear i like your sci fi post. Follow!
Julie SqveakarooGod will never giver you more than you can handle.
The world, though? Life? Oh yeah, they pull that crap ALL the time...
Ivy is Skeptical@JoParkerBear I first heard this phrase spoken by a God fearing church lady friend of my mom’s after mom’s other leg was amputated. I wanted to punch the church lady right in the throat.

the book of job says god will just torture you for kicks, even if you've done nothing wrong. if you don't like it, it's your fault for not being old enough to play with leviathans in the cosmic void

LaminaJayneLOL!
I was about to get so mad, but then you made me laugh in the second half.
Still frustrating that it seems to be the way of things, or at least how "religious" people think.
Brent Guernsey, Artrocity Studio"When God closes one door, he opens a trap door somewhere else."
Vehement Sack@JoParkerBear God always gives you more than you can handle. That’s how he makes pray to him.
This explains a lot.
At least in the minds of folks who encourage people to just try harder.
Thank you for saying it so plainly
Merete Çakmak@JoParkerBear Brilliant
Tim
Pedro@JoParkerBear need to work hard as a gamete to ensure one is born to the right parents
@JoParkerBear “God will never give you more than you can handle” is perhaps the cruelest and most idiotic thing you can say to someone. Right, “god gave you” a terminally ill child, for example, “because he thinks you can handle it”? 😡
@JenResisted @JoParkerBear There are graveyards and psychiatric wards full of people God gave too much to handle.
Eclipse13@JoParkerBear Yeah, I'm pretty screwed as far as that goes.
@Eclipse13 many of us are
geekysteven@JoParkerBear this is one of my favorite things ever written
auntie_beans / howlinmama@JoParkerBear @godpod Can you help?
Dannyboyguyman@JoParkerBear explains a few things
Elverkonge@JoParkerBear Idk for sure, but this might have been the thing that made me follow you on bird app. One of my very favs.
Jape Yelnoc@JoParkerBear Ironically, Christians who use this expression seriously are missing a crucial point. God SHOULD be giving them more than they can handle so that they have to turn to and rely on him to give them now strength. 🤔🤔🤔
Former Christian here, BTW. 🙃🙃
kechpaja@JoParkerBear God will never give you more than you can handle, but God isn’t the only one giving you things.
Max Leibman has moved!@JoParkerBear @markjacobsen It’s absolutely true that God will not give you more than you can handle. He has Republicans for that.
Sophia 🎶☃️🩵✨
Amish Super Model@JoParkerBear Weird how God sometimes hates on those who believe in Him the most???
chef 😎@JoParkerBear
Totally spot on. 👍
And anyway: People who think they need a god are just too lazy to do stuff themselves.
"God works in mysterious ways."
Nope. He/she/it/whatever doesn't. He's fictional.
@JoParkerBear there’s no such thing as god, but if there were and he got angry, he should feel free to shower down piles of cash on me. That’ll show me for being poor and wretched.
Or there use, he can just fuck off.
@JoParkerBear that’s the spirit!
Xavier@JoParkerBear I guffawed!
Adara Astin@JoParkerBear God cares a lot about zip codes, apparently.
@AdaraAstin I heard that!
