Oh, give me a break!
What is wrong with you people?!
Obviously, there is no god. But if there were… why in the world would anyone with half a brain in their head worship such a masochistic, narcissistic psycho?
Here we have a woman who was raped and tortured every single day, for a year, by both men and women, had her breast sliced with a bayonet, and suffered unimaginable pain, suffering, and mental distress.
But she still believes her all loving, all powerful, all knowing, all merciful god allowed this to happen to her “for a reason.”
If so, her god must stand trial for crimes against humanity right along with Radovan Karadzic.
Here is an excerpt:
“Then they started torturing me. I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was totally naked and covered in blood and my sister-in-law was also naked and covered in blood. … I knew I had been raped and my sister-in-law too.” In a corner, she saw her mother-in-law, holding her children and crying.
“That same day we were locked in our house. That was the worst, the worst period of my whole life. That’s when it started.
“Every day we were raped. Not only in the house — they would also take us to the front line for the soldiers to torture us. Then again in the house, in front of the children,” Jasmina said through a translator, remembering the 10 other women who were brutalized with her.
“I was in such a bad condition that sometimes I couldn’t even recognize my own children. Even though I was in a very bad physical condition they had no mercy at all. They raped me every day. They took me to the soldiers and back to that house.
“The only conversation we had was when I was begging them to kill me. That’s when they laughed. Their response was ‘we don’t need you dead.’”
Once at the front line there were women soldiers who tortured her with a bottle and then slashed at her throat and wrist when it broke. Then the troops cut one of her breasts with a bayonet, said Jasmina, now looking older than her 35 years.
“It lasted for a year. Every day. … Not all the women survived.”
The following year, Jasmina tried to kill herself three times.
“I will never be OK,” she said. “I was beautiful once; it cost me my life.”
And why exactly did your god allow this to happen to you, Jasmina?
I’d love to hear his side of the story.

What an incredible story of perseverance and forgiveness. Who else could give this woman the courage and endurance to survive through such an horrific event? I think it’s a great testimony to God’s love that he still reaches out to his people, no matter how people resist him or brutalize each other.
The salvanionist/redeemer complex is a powerful brainwash mechanism that perpetuates the lie that human existence is defined by suffering. This deceptive social conditioning ploy creates both the victim and the torturer. The torturer was once the sufferer, and the cycle continues.
Steve: Do you actually believe that torture and rape is an indication of god reaching out to his people and that senseless suffering is a great testimony to his love? That’s completely nonsensical!
Johnnypeepers is absolutely correct.
No, it’s a sign of a fallen, broken world that rejects the Creator. The amazing thing is that, despite our arrogance and rejection of him, he reaches into the mess to bring comfort – and redemption.
Steve: Jasmina did not reject “the Creator,” but was mercilessly tortured despite her belief in him.
Of course she didn’t. She rested in the comfort and perseverance that only he could provide. It’s pretty clear that her tormentors are the ones who have abandoned Him (and any semblance of humanity). God doesn’t promise that we will have a rosy path on this earth. It’s a fallen, broken place because we, through Adam and our own actions, rejected him. He does promise rest and comfort in our times of need – as he gave to this woman. I think it’s a beautiful story of redemption and forgiveness.
Why can’t you see what’s obvious here?
The “fall of man” is a mythical allegory invented by the patriarchal organized religions to perpetuate the victimhood/persecution complex of its followers. Adam’s supposed actions cannot be logically imputed to homo sapiens in the 21st century. The redeemer social control mechanism poisons mankind by instilling a sense of pre-natal failure that can only be remedied by worshipping a male creator deity and his fictional godman. It is a story alright, but I wouldn’t call it beautiful. I think the word tragic is a but more apt.
Steve: As Johnnypeepers has pointed out, the story of Adam and Eve is a myth. I don’t know whether you’ve been brainwashed since childhood or have simply chosen not to educate yourself (likely both), but it is YOU who cannot see what’s obvious.
Sounds like someone has some unresolved issues. I am as well educated as most, better than some, so if you want to play ‘whose education is bigger,’ I can play. I have a clear understanding of the fallen nature of man. You don’t have to look too far to see man’s frequent inhumanity. All the more reason, then, to see the need for redemption from a depraved nature. And for someone who complains about that nature in others, I would think you’d be open to the only solution that has worked in the last few millenia.
