I have definitive proof that God either A. doesn't exist, or B. is a sick fucking bastard and we should all stop worshiping him immediatly.

So like, yesterday, I'm hanging out with Lance and... I... quit smoking. It's so weird. I just didn't want a cigarette. No, I wanted a chicken sandwhich, so I ate his. But... no smoking.

On the way home? No smoking. I even went to light a cigarette and went... nah.

At the house? No cravings. I don't get cravings anyway, but I didn't want one. That's the point. I was just like "Feh" and took a nap.

I get a phone call, it's Dusty, the kid who got me smoking in the first place. He wants to hang out. All night I'm hanging out with him, going to the arcade, Pizza Hut, Walmart, riding around, I never have ONE cig. Dewayne and him are smoking like two mother fuckers, but me? Not one.

I know, so weird right?

So I finally get home after borrowing Dusty's copy of Waiting (a gross, disgusting, funny movie, but well worth watching) and I reached into my pockets to find...

...a pack of cigarettes I forgot were even there.

I'm like... ya know... I haven't touched these all day. I never wanted one. I don't even want one now. In fact, fuck this, cigarettes just waste my money and make it hard to breathe and will eventually lead to an untimely death. Ya know what, I'm gunna throw these away. But do I throw them away? Of course not! I threw them up ontop of my cd player to rot.

Now, my mother hated my smoking. I told her I quit, which was a bold faced lie, simply to get her to stop crying. So, anyhoo, back to the story.

I watch Waiting, fall asleep, wake up to my mothers screams about lying to her when she finds my back of Basics sitting on the cd player that I forgot to throw away. So I tell her the whole story about how I threw those up there intending to throw them away because I quit smoking and after ONE lie, she's not going to believe the second. Why I even threw them ontop of the CD player knowing damn well she'd come into my room in the first place is a mystery to me.

So, like I said. Either one of two things.
A. There is no God.
B. God is one sick bastard.

I know I haven't been a good person my whole life, but I'm not a murderer or a rapist. I don't go around beating on women or cheat on my girlfriend (if I had one). So when some shit like this happens, you expect a little holy intervention. When I was a Christian, it was shit like this that made me stop believing. But these are circumstances beyond one's control. Why did I suddenly quit? Why did I throw my cigs in a place easily seen, when I never do that? Why did I have to sleep until 3 pm to cause my mother to find out I just quit smoking and not believe me and have the shit hit the fan? Normal shit like this does not happen.

Except I'm still an atheist, so I'm going with answer A. But if there is a God, he has some fucking explaining to do.

I wouldnt say answer A or B is right. Smoking is not a choice of God but of man. You chose to smoke and now you are choosing not to. And I don't want to say you were like "oh well, look at me, I gave up smoking in one day." I definitely believe that it has been something weighing on your mind. Maybe you saw how much it hurt your mother and you are trying to mend things with her, consciously you body just did not want one. And I do believe that all our actions are 50% physical need and 50% mental need. Maybe your mental need is weighing more and telling you that you are doing the right thing. Your mother only wants the best from you, and she knows smoking is the fast way to a short life. As much as you think your mother probably doesn't care about you...she obviously does are she wouldn't have yelled at you for smoking. Its love...trust me. There is a difference between yelling at you because she cares and well, that is pretty much it. You can tell when your mother stops loving you because she will leave you and neglate you. Which I thought was what my mother was doing to me. Over two years ago was the last time I saw my mother. TWO YEARS. Try not talking to your mother for two years. Then you will reconsider the ideas of love and relationship with your mother. I received a letter from my mother the other day in the mail. She told me how much she missed me, how sorry she was that she hasn't attempted to get ahold of me in 2 years. I cried....oh man, did I ever cry. Just please understand that your mother cares for you and that she only wants the best for you. Like you said yourself..."cigarettes just waste my money and make it hard to breathe and will eventually lead to an untimely death,"...so maybe you really should just give up the death trap. Tell your mother the truth that the first time she asked you... you did lie. But, now you are being honest with her (only if you truly did give up smoking). The art of any lifestyle is communication. Communicate with your mother...trust me... it will mean the world to you both.

P.S. Your believe is your own. I cannot stop you from believing in your faith. But, I must say...God works in mysterious ways... Just wait to see =)

To both of you:
I just suddenly quit smoking out of nowhere for no reason whatsoever and instead of things getting better, they just got worse. Where was god then? In fact, where was god on 9-11, or in 1945? He either causes things like this to happen, or just allows them to happen, or doesn't exist. It's bullshit.
