Quote# 76212

“Why did God make some people ugly and others good looking? It’s not fair. I find myself looking in the mirror and wondering why I have to be so ugly and have such an ugly body when all my friends are pretty and have nice bodies. Why was God unfair to me like this?

—Erin”


Thank you for your honesty, Erin. I know a lot of teenagers feel the same way you do. You are obviously angry at God because you believe that He has cheated you by not giving you a better face and body.

And because you’ve been honest and direct with me, let me be honest with you—God doesn’t deal with us unfairly. He deals with us only in love. If He dealt with fairness we would never be born. Instead, He would judge us for all the sins He know we will commit. The fact you are alive and healthy means God has been gracious with you.

"Because they want someone they can abuse or otherwise treat as a doormat."

You have a pretty dim view of humanity, I'm afraid. Although this is undoubtedly true in some cases, but not everyone is this way.


"Or in the latter case, because the man is rich."

Again, no doubt true in some cases. But that's the point, isn't it....there are other qualities besides physical appearance that can attract a mate. It may be a fat wallet, or a big dick, or it may be a great personality. But in each case, it's something other than looks.

I pride myself that such is the case.

HumMis1349:

Lol. Well, I don't make such generalisations. There are plenty of scummy people in the world, true enough, but human nature is a very broad and diverse thing.

Anyway, we'll have to agree to disagree for tonight...I'm off to bed.

Anyone wanna bet the letter writer is, like, really pretty?

'Cuz it's usually only pretty girls that obsess about being ugly.

@Drax -- My partner's unconditional love is what attracts me. He's kind, affectionate, he cooks, he's the perfect "heated blanket" on a cold night. I won't get into the intimate details, but the lovin's good, too. Looks just don't enter into the equation, not that he's not good looking.

Dodging the answer AND proving that your god is a douche, nice going

God is fair and God is love, that's why we are sinners before we are even born. Great answer, dude. Especially as that wasn't even the question.

Erin may be honest, but McAllister looks about as honest as a snake oil salesman who doesn't even know what snake oil is supposed to be.

Wow not only you make your god sound like a prick, you also avoided the question entirely!

Lesson from this is that if you have a problem, don't turn to Christians for help - they're likely to give you illogical answers. The website also mentions "walking with God", yeah that's going to make her feel good about herself! Stupid Christians!!!

This sounds almost like Protection Racket God: "You got a nice, healthy body....be a shame if anything were to happen to it." *PRG waves a sealed container of plague in front of Erin's face*

That poor kid. I just want to hug her and all this sick bastard can do is give her a non-answer, which no doubt made her feel worse.

She clearly has some self esteem issues and needs a little reassurance, not this line of crap.

So basically: "You're horrible filth so be glad God was in a good mood when he made you."

If he knows that we will commit sins, why creating us with free will in the first place?

A bullshit non-answer is still better than "haha, you're ugly". Keep that in mind, commenters.

@WMDKitty: Sounds like a pretty stable basis for a relationship, looks fade but love lasts....

@Percy Q. Shunn: Hey, I can appreciate a pretty girl as well as the next guy, just saying that it isn't the be-all and end-all, and looks quickly fade anyway. If I had to choose I'd take a loving faithful chick over a stunning one any day, especially if we were talking about the long haul as opposed to a one-night romp.

Did this guy just imply that abortion is fair? Alright.

That answer doesn't answer anything which means you have no answer for why your god is a dick.

All I can say is, poor Erin. Hopefully she has other people giving her advice that are better than this guy.

Why would God give you a smoking hot mom like Lois and have you look like Peter?

If someone is beautiful on the inside, it radiates outwardly. That's all he had to say.
