Additional information and Comments

my great grandfather was a member of the peculiar people sect.I have precise surgical scars on my left knee and right lower abdomen with visible stitch marks.There are no hospital records.The scars are too precise to be accidental or an assalt.The scar on my knee appeared out of nowhere when I was six.I did not fall over.I remember feeling heat then looking at my knee and saw blood.It was'nt untill I took my trousers off I noticed a gaping clean cut wound on the side of my knee about two inches long.There was no pain and the cut was spotless.At the hospital they did not need to clean it.I got eight stitches.The scar on my abdomen I believe happened before the age of six.The scars appear to me like something was taken from me.I have exhausted all avenues.It seems only god knows.I want god to tell me the truth because no person will.I want god to give my life back.I hold god accountable.Tell me or eye will destroy everything humanity believes in.My anger knows no bounds,I feel no pain,I have no soul.Tell me the truth god or I will destroy you.
