Love or confusion

This morning I woke up at 4:12 am with cramps in my left foot and the realization that God does not necessarily hate us. It seems possible that an omnipotent, omniscient creator could both love us and not take us out of the current situation. Metaphorically, God as Our Father stands beside his tormented children realizing that although, even because he loves us he must not lead us out of this box, but instead let us grow our own way out.

I'm not sure we can get out, but at least we're not necessarily doomed. Of course, I could be completely wrong. I'm very tired and my mind has been flaky.

That said, if you consider yourself an atheist and yet read this far, let me tell you this. Light can be understood as a wave, as a particle, and in many other ways. Concepts whose truth can be proved we call facts, and in this domain we're dealing with metaphors.
