Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

So after reading that passage, I realized that there are many different ways to look at God than by the usual way taught to us by the Catholic church. Jonathan Edwards sees God, as if he were some cruel 
puppet-master. He talks as if God is controlling your life with strings attached to his fingers and only keeps you there for his own amusement. He says If God wishes so, he can cut you off at any moment and send you straight to hell. According to him, you have no choice or any chance of persuading God and that he will drop you whenever he pleases (maybe even when you least expect it).
Now this is very disturbing for me to imagine. I prefer to picture God as a loving person who welcomes anyone and anything into his arms and into heaven. If this interpretation of God were true, I would much sooner switch religions than pray to that guy.

There Goes The Neighborhood!

So here is a story from back when i was in 7th grade. Basically, I went to a small Catholic School, where most of the kids were oblivious to what really happens in the world. So, sometime around the middle of the school year, the teacher tells us that we have a new kid coming to the school and will be in our class. I won't use his real name for his sake, I'll just call him Bob. So for the next couple of months, Bob becomes all of our friends. He was cool, funny, and pretty athletic. He seemed like a normal guy.
So, one day, during lunch, he says he's not really hungary, and gives his lunch to my other friend. This seemed weird, because he usually is always hungary. Then all of a sudden, out of no where, he pulls a pocket knife out of his pocket and starts cutting his wrists! As you can imagine, this is a lot to take in for us. So anyways, he asks us to not tell anyone. Out of panic, we agreed to this. After probably another week of this, I guess one kid had had enough and said something to the teacher (to this day, I still don't know who told the teacher about this). So, the teacher talked to him and he got some help. After he seemed to be "cured", he just left the school (weeeeiiirrd). And from then on, until the end of the school year, we had a school assembly probably every week or so about how we should discuss our problems with our teacher and not to cut ourselves. Each one was longer and more boring than the last. That kid really changed our school.
