A number of people here have blamed God for their problems from time to time. funny, none of them seeem to have really sought him... really funny, they seem to more enjoy kicking him in the butt for allowing them to make stupid decisions. And of course if you don't join them in it, well you must think you are special.
Actually, I have sought Him (you really should capitalize the pronouns that refer to the God you revere) for quite a long time. And "of course" you will either call me a liar by saying I didn't really seek Him or you will say I didn't understand His message. Well, I take it as an insult that you call me a liar, insincere or stupid after the time and effort I put into my quest. It seems strange that a God who can do anything, finds it so difficult to make Himself real to someone who is honestly seeking.

I never said you think you are special (your demeanor somewhat indicates that you do, however). I said that Jesus must think you are more special than me since my anguish is ignored in favor of providing you with insight as to the identity of photographic anomalies.

Linda should get a dog and spend her days cursing it and kicking it in the butt and see if that gets her any special favors.
I have missed the connection between this and first part of your post. Unless it is merely an insult hurled to make you feel superior to Linda despite the fact that you go out of your way to avoid answering serious questions. Modus-operandi a la SoSick

Mostly I wonder what happened to her to make her feel so disenfranchised.
Perhaps being treated as a red-headed bastard stepchild by every fundamentalist Christian that can't get her to buy into the bullcrap. It gets under your skin after a while.

She has the personality of an abused child.
How do you know this so well? Does she act like your children?
