Why Is It That These Nasty Murderous Bastards Live On And Thrive But The Good Ones Go Down.

I guess you have to be an absolutely complete F"ing bastard to live on. It just seem like nasty people like Inhoffe, Cheney, and others survive terrible illnesses and live on. The get good medical care that saves them. People like Limbaugh, Ailes, Turtle, Ryan, Palin, Murdoch, the Kochs, Adelson,etc etc just seem thrive and are able to just spread their hate endlessly. Yet good people and good politicians have everything happening to them.

Whose side is God on. Is he on the side of evil or what.

Probably ther reason I am not religious. I can't believe a God could spare these evil people.

There is only randomness and chaos. No one ever got ahead by being a nice guy. You have to be a real bastard to get into the money realm of the Kochs and Romneys. That and be in the lucky sperm club. Hate and fear sell which is how grifters like Palin get ahead. Hard work and diligence is for suckers.

who likes to see humans in pain. I'm not kidding, btw, that's a tenet of my faith.

to keep them here as long as possible. Another theory is that this plane of existence is Hell. It's a test for all souls to move on to a higher plane of being, which is why there is so much cruelty and suffering. Those who don't pass the tests keep getting reincarnated in this world and it's one of the reasons they do so well because they have become familiar with this plane of being and are comfortable in it, knowing how to take all the advantages on it.

Well, this is far fetched of course, but sometimes thinking it could be possible often gets me through bad days.
