What I don't get about the saying, "God will never give you more than you can handle."

[Baitball Blogger]

If that is true, wouldn't we all be immortal?

But don't worry. They'll pray for you.

11. Thoughts and Prayers = jack squat. Don't pray for me, make me a sandwich

3. 22 Veterans commit suicide

every fucking day. Because of shit they can't handle. I hate that horse shit saying.

[TexasBushwhacker]

6. Children and other innocents are murdered every single day

How are we supposed to "handle" that? How is it "God's plan"?

[sorefeet]

7. From what I have seen

Gods plan is pretty cruel. Must be getting grumpier in his old age.

4. Facebook level pablum masquerading as wisdom.

5. I actually responded to this once with

"God is trying to kill you, and eventually he will succeed," to someone who didn't know I'm an atheist.

8. When I hear that one, I always add (in my head, of course)

"until he does, and then you'll be dead."

9. Because of the future state, of course.

Death is not a bad thing, it brings you into the presence of the god-thing.

But then, there's that other place... if it isn't more than you can handle, what's the point? Unless those who are damned will all eventually be saved, which has been considered heresy before but maybe isn't now (I confess, I don't keep up with this stuff).

10. When I hear that line, All I can think of is that Meat Loaf song...

[Skittles]

12. it's utter nonsense

people kill themselves all the time because they are overwhelmed

[3catwoman3]

13. If that BS were even close to being true, there would be no...

...careers in psychiatry, psychology, social work and the like.

And don't get me started on the too-freely used concept of "closure" after a loved one dies. You go on because you have to, but you are forever changed. Another BS concept, IMO.
