So if man is responsible for everything, what is god good for. It seems to me that the relationship is rather one sided. Man worships in ernest and assumes that anything good that befalls him is the result of a kind god who has provided for him in one way or another. Anything bad in the world is the result of mans failure to follow the word of god and is therefor just too bad. It just seems to me that this is a convienient explanation to justify every scenario. I understand that many are comforted by their faith and I'm happy for them. When I wrote the original post I guess I was angry and lashing out. I'm truly sorry for offending anyone. This frustration is the result of suffering many years of debilitating depression with no apparant end in sight. I have prayed for help offering anything and everything possible, to no avail. I guess I'm just tired and wondering that if there is a god why I don't deserve just a little help.

Perhaps if your initial list included:
Rainbows, Medical advances, childbirth, rain forests, education, sacrifice, love, pizza, sex, and other positive things, this wouldn't be such a silly debate.
YOU are the one who chose to focus on only the negative. You don't have to.
