At times I feel angry towards God, he could have created a world and a salvation that resulted in everyone making it to heaven.
I feel like God screwed up.
But what is the point of making accusations against God when he could just crush me like a worm?
It's his world, his plan, all I can do is go along with the program and make the best of it.
There are times of great joy, and victory and peace. For me there are more times of darkness, sorrow, depression, and questions.
Sometimes I feel like Saul, he missed God and he would call David to come and play and sing to him to drive the doubt, depression and sadness away.
When I enter the house of the Lord, the choir and preaching are the ministry of David to my soul.

Thank you for your honesty. I had many of those struggles, too. I won't say that the answers I found are the same ones you or anyone else should find. You should do what works for you. That's what I'm doing, but my path may not be for everyone. IMO, more Christians should accept that
their path may not be for everyone!
I was mostly joshing when I asked that "why not" question. It is actually the very best policy to leave it up to God. But when the dogma seems so certain about something, I think it's odd not to let it reach any final conclusions! If one doesn't take it all the way, then maybe, just maybe, one doesn't quite 100% believe the dogma. Just my two cents.
