Episode 88: Why do BAD things happen to GOOD people?

DOWNLOAD THE MP3 HERE

Laugh at Job Is God a prick? Why did God hang out with Satan? Meet Jehova, the joker/sadist What in tarnation is reincarnation? Who was more evil, Satan or Jehova? All this and more in today’s episode of Sinner’s Sunday. 

No matter how much of a boat ride your life is, sooner or later, bad shit’s going to happen – to someone you love and then to you. It’s inevitable. When it goes down, will you wig-out and pull your hair and tear at your clothes and scream what did (insert loved-one’s name, or capital I) do to deserve this!?!?!? How can God be such a prick?!?! At that moment, will God be laughing at you or nodding his head in vengeful satisfaction? That would depend on which God-provider you had shoved down your throat as a kid.

Why do bad things happen to good people is the most difficult question for God-providers around the world. They’ll throw all sorts of crap at you, about Job, or a perfect God having created an imperfect world. They’re grasping at straws and full of crap. ALL of them.

The Job story is so sick, I’m surprised some reality show cretin hasn’t yet based a show on the tale. Take some schlub and strip him of his worldly possessions, then kill his family, then infect him with a disfiguring disease. If at no point he curses his tormentors – or even gets angry, he wins a wink and a smile from Simon Cowles and a trip to Sandals Jamaica. The show could be called Anger Management, and wouldn’t that be au curant? Think that’s implausible? Then you’re not from Los Angeles. Here, there are legions of imbeciles who would make that deal in a heartbeat just to get their stupid, botoxed faces on TV. I swear to Jehova.

This is the 13th gathering of Sinners’ Sunday and perhaps achieves my goal more than any thus far. My initial intent was to blow to smithereens the lies, idiocy and hypocrisy of big time religion while unearthing the beautiful truths on which some of them were founded. And do it without an iota of bullshit. While having a drink and a laugh. And B-B-Q. Hanging out with other truth seekers. And Brother Dre and the pointy Larry-ettes. I think I’ve achieved that here. I hope you agree.

If you do, please support this ministry. I’ll bet you’ve thrown plenty o’ jing at whatever church you were raised in. (I know I have.) What have you gotten in return? Laughs? Entertainment? Honest answers? Enlightenment?

Sinners’ Sunday delivers those with every episode. And you don’t have to sit next to some fart-bag in a hot church on an ass-punishing bench. Beat that price-value relationship. I dare you.

So today – this Sunday, instead of tossing your greenbacks into that green felt-lined basket to buy another prime rib dinner for that over-fed hypocrite in the fancy silk robes whose every need is fulfilled by a multi-billion-dollar corporation that is NOT a religion, but merely franchises religion, put that $$ back in your pocket and click this link and help me deliver the truth each week. This ministry costs me time (a lot of time) and money.

Thank you Mike for the kick-ass question that launched today’s episode.
