How is it "poisonous" when I tell someone that the Creator of the universe loves him and WILL answer him in the trials of his life but you telling him there is nothing else, you drew the short stick, end it now before you get any worse, NOT poisonous? Especially...since there IS the Creator who loves us and who is a refuge in any storm.

The tagline I use is one that I have experienced in a very profound way and I believe it with all my heart. It is not a "sappy adage", but a deep, spiritual truth that CAN be realized by anyone genuinely seeking to know God.

Never once did I say “end it now.” I said work with your doctors. The fact is, all the Christians on here are insisting that God brings love, joy, peace, and happiness. If a sufferer isn’t feeling it, is it because God is doing something wrong? Well, no, that can’t be, can it? It must be the sufferer. Look at the things you and others are saying to him: seek God, pray, open your heart, look to him, blah blah blah... all the things he’s been DOING FOR YEARS. It’s not working. Why? Well... he’s doing it wrong. That’s what you are telling him. If he cannot feel God’s peace, the fault lies with him, not God. Right?
