A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

What's wrong with Children? And didn't we create that atrocity though by choosing to do that? He created sex to be between a consenting man and woman within marriage, not for using to abuse people.

No, by Christian understanding, god made the universe and everything in it. That includes the human capacity for causing pain to others. God also decided our sexual characteristics should fully develop a decade before our mental and emotional capacity, not how I would have done it. It also includes childhood leukemia, SIDS, hydrocephalopathy, measles, polio, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, etc, etc, etc. If god wasn't a sadist, none of those things would exist. Either that or god didn't create them because it doesn't exist. These are the options available to you.

Those things happened because God cursed the earth after we turned against Him.

But by your own holy texts, it knew we would do that before the universe existed, much less the Garden of Eden. If it didn't, then it's not all-knowing, which means it's not God. Either way, it's not worthy of devotion or worship.

And if you want to live your life without God, God respects your decision eternally 👍

If you call lakes of fire, wailing and gnashing of teeth, and eternal damnation to complete separation from The Light "respect," then I totally get why you worship the dude. I guess he really did create you in his sadistic image. 😘
