It is because you have to know "who" you are doing the things you do here (on earth) for.





Man , bad grammar

I already got that, and covered it in the first section of my answer, the one that you didn't quote. In the comment to which you reply here I was addressing your comment about bad fathers.

That my faith is blind is your construction, not mine. I never suggested "blind" faith.

You haven't answered the question:

What do you do when something is beyond your comprehension, but not beyond the comprehension of someone else?

How you know that it is not beyond their comprehension isn't relevant. Given that you know, what do you do?

Our life here on earth is a test. It is a preparation. God didnt create the earth for us to enjoy life. The earth is here to help us build our character, to help us grow, for eternity.

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

I get the sneaking suspicion that religion will soon join politics as a banned S2Ki topic.

I didnt say we cannot enjoy life. I was just saying thats not the purpose God Created the Earth. It is a hard to explain concept. Maybe I shouldnt use the word "enjoy".
