Religious Bullshit - Again!

Today I have been sent an email by someone….someone known well and related to me…..someone who should have known better than to think sending me this particular gem of advice was the right thing to do. It contained the following message.

We waste our infertility if we “do not believe it is designed for us by God.” We waste our infertility if we “believe it is a curse and not a gift.” We waste our infertility if we “spend too much time reading about infertility and not enough time reading about God.” And we definitely waste our infertility when we “fail to use it as a means of witness to the truth and glory of Christ.”

It’s not often that I am pushed hard enough to feel the anger I am feeling right now. It’s not often I have felt as hurt as I do right now. Of ALL the things that could be said to me regarding my inability to conceive a child, this kind of comment is just about the last thing that should ever be put to me.

Let me be perfectly straight here when addressing the bible-thumping-fire-and-brimstone type religious freaks out there who will no doubt stumble over this post whilst clicking the NEXT BLOG button………..YOU’RE FUCKING IDIOTS. I can’t believe that some people are so lacking in intelligence as to assume that every damn thing that happens in their life happens because of some divine plan.

If this person has said those things to my directly I would have hit her. Would that have been their god’s will too?

As it is, the only thing I can say to her is this………..You are no longer welcome in my home, and you are no longer a part of my life in any way.
