To me, God is the crutch that isn't there. I fail to accept the presence of a being that is so intensely caring for my well being that has never delivered my "soul". I still suffer the effects of addiction and that is a result of something I didn't ask for. A blood disorder, a chemical imbalance, whatever. This is not something I desired...it came with the package. Can't accept this God concept. I wish it were real, but not for me. Too many holes in the story.
