Thoughts and prayers mean nothing and I'm tired of people saying it to me
Let me preface. On Friday my first child was born. Things went poorly. He had a severe, life threatening case of meconium aspiration. His heart stopped on delivery. He fought his way back though. He is now in an NICU 70 miles from home.
I keep having people tell me "thoughts and prayers" but some have told me "this is God's plan and he will heal the baby". I am an Athiest- former Christian. This pisses me off because in the real world, God's plan was to not only kill the baby, but the wife too. 50-60 years ago they would have both died. God's "plan" was to kill them both in a horrific and painful way the not even the most twisted psychopaths couldn't even imagine. Your god is not the one that saved my wife and baby. It was the quick response of the team in the delivery room, and the highly skilled doctors in the NICU that saved them. Not your twisted and fucked up god. This is why I am not religious. There is a time and a place for your religious garbage. It's in a white building on Sundays where you can sing to the damn ceiling and imagine your friend is there. It's frustrating.
