I don’t recall ever reading such a story without finding it intellectually shallow, though.

Or emotionally immature. A lot I have read can be summed up that "God should have made life better and I would rather follow my urges without feeling guilty." They try to justify themselves with not very well thought out philosophies full of holes and nitpicky and false claims about the Bible, but that's about all they have to offer.

Good point. From the other comments on the thread, this writer seems to fall into the Rod Dreher category of “It’s just so terrible that there are bad people who do bad things. God should have arranged things with more sensitivity to my feelings.” Although there could be elements of “I just want to do what I want to do; don’t judge me!” too.

To be fair, it must be hard to go through life taking everything so personally, having such an intense need for the world to be perfect, always so conscious of how bad other people are. I look at how bad I am, say, “Thank you, Jesus!” and suggest everyone have more Guinness and hug a baby or kitten.
