Replace “god” with “humanity” and it works for me.

Profound pity for the delusional people that sell and buy that garbage.

It doesn’t disgust me.

The god-believer who created this meme takes god's obvious guilt at allowing an innocent child to starve and turns the guilt around at the mortal human. This way the all-powerful god never gets any blame for the horrible things that always happen in the world.

Sounds like the sort of drivel Mother Theresa used to spout. Before she became an atheist ...

Very nice . I like it , The only thing is what god they speak of. There are many to choose from and I let science be my god. science is the truth and the way. It is never wrong.

Doesn't bother me.. I just replace god with universe and it makes a weird kinda sense.

It's at least better than imagining god has it "under control"; at least it acknowledges that "if it is to be, it's up to me". So to me it's not disgusting so much as a pathetic attempt to frame actual reality through some sort of theistic lens.

In other words I would rank the disgust factor, if you will, roughly like this in descending order:

  1. People who think the suffering of others is always all the fault of the sufferer somehow. (But usually want sympathy when THEY suffer)
  2. People who think the way to alleviate suffering is to teach people their version of spiritual Truth
  3. People who think they are god's instruments to alleviate suffering in practical ways

So really pretty low-level disgust compared to (1) and (2).

You missed 4. People who think that suffering makes you a better person and gets you into heaven. ( You may think that there are none of these left today, but it is not dead yet.)

@Fernapple I was going to mention that as well.

@HonkyBMcfunky That's Ok pleased I could help.
