My particular curmudgeon is the lack of space between the key hole and a rough wall when I lock up in the Church. Grazed knuckles as a result and I can't really even curse Â
Just leave it open, God will look after it.Â
If God actually looked after his own there would be loads of lightning strikes when the scum are there nicking all the lead off the roof.

Iâm not a church-going Christian, but I was. The above isnât Christian theology ⊠being a Christian isnât a âGet out of jail freeâ card or a guarantee that your house wonât burn down.Â

so what does god do? All that praying and no guarantees?
The Bible is full of contradictions which enable the Church to interpret it in any way they like. "An eye for an eye" or "Turn the other cheek" is just one example. Add to that "God is all powerful" which implies every move and action is controlled, and "God gave us free will" which implies when things go wrong 'It ain't my fault guv'.
It's a bit unfair to complain about contradictions between the old testament of the Bible (eg "an eye for an eye"), which is a historical Jewish document, and the new testament (eg "turn the other cheek"), which illustrates the huge changes Jesus brought. A lot of criticism of the Bible comes from people who haven't actually read it...

The promises are about the next life ⊠not this one.Â

Promises made safe in the knowledge that nobody will be able to prove they are lies.
