He has me wait longer than everyone else, he made me live in a city called Cleveland, he made me autistic, he won't let me have a girlfriend, he won't let me get a car, and I feel he made me limited.

Why has my own God decided to make me wait and just say "NO" everyday?

Relax mate. God hates all of us.

Maybe you just picked the wrong God.

I don't believe that Zeus could even pick me out of a group photo.

I suggest a run through the Beatitudes. In my experience God is always almost late.

Also maybe watch this YouTube review of 'Tree of Life' the winner of the Cannes Film Festival.

Indeed. I bet his parents deserve some of the blame.

Something that doesn't exist can't hate you.

There's a degree of life in which you begin being responsible for your acts. Every human being is limited. Being autistic is not your fault nor can it be 'fixed' but everything else you mentioned is up to you.

When I feel pretty short on God's favor, I fine it's possible to recover my gratitude by "zooming-out" from myself and my own circumstances for a moment, and evaluating certain other people's lives -- people who would surely tell me that, compared to their lives, God blesses me continually, even in times when I'm sure He is not. A lot of times, I can't really stop complaining to myself about my life until I stop and think about paraplegics, or people with chronic illnesses, etc. That often causes me to see my life in better perspective.

Remember that God likes to impart wisdom to people -- and the best instructor and character-builder is often hard times. God can always give me or you a harder time in life, if we demonstrate that we don't yet have the wisdom to appreciate the blessings He already is bestowing upon us presently, so I figure I might as well stay as humble as I can, and find and express genuine gratitude -- because He could always put me on that fast track to wisdom in the form of life getting significantly worse for a while. I'd rather find the wisdom to appreciate His blessings now, than prove myself a remedial student in life and have to repeat a course. Sometimes His grace is sufficient for us (2 Cor 12:9), even though it seems otherwise.

Our tears, indeed!

My wife used to get mad at me when I used to ask her to say a prayer on my behalf, because God never listened to me. But trust me, I can understand being without a significant other when everyone else seems to have had someone... and everything else that seemed crappy in my life for a long time. But in the end, God proved to be a real sport, and gave me my wife, and a beautiful daughter. It did take time, and it may for you as well, but don't count out the Big Man upstairs, or whatever you may believe in.
