PLEASE UNDERSTAND !!!!!!!

we've always thought, and this is a tangent b/c we weren't raised in a formal church, that god gets blamed for a lot of things. when we read the bible, we didn't see god promising anywhere to give people happy lives, it was more about giving them greater understanding and forbearance for all the bad things that happened to them. Then, looking at Job, he was tormented intentionally just to prove a point. so, it seems that its people who promise god will act like a loving father, not god who ever made this promise.

perhaps we've misinterpreted, or more likely it says something about how we were raised, but it seems like god as with everyone else, is only obliged to answer the prayers he wants to.
