The question SHOULD be: Who believes in death after life? All these people strapping bombs on themselves don't....for themselves. Only the people around them when they pull the pin die.

 

Everything is scary about that. Ruthless dictators responsible for thousands of deaths have employed this same logic upon their subordinates.

 

I, for one, never suggested that everything fits nicely together. Please don't exaggerate my position; I can handle that myself.

This sounds like a subtle way of saying that I'm both delusional and stupid. Neither is true.

Personal experience.

Extensive personal experience.

(I considered adding, ". . . , laddie," but I can imagine what a hornets' nest that would stir up. )

 

Since you have personal experience with god, can you tell me why god allows disease to run rampant, extreme famine to exist, and why he allows people to wage wars in his name which have killed more people, thousands of times over, more than any political motive ever has?

 

For the same reason that a father lets his son fall off a bicycle and get hurt.

That people claim to be fighting in God's name is different than people actually fighting in his name, with his blessing.

 

There are those that refuse to accept the existance of God simply because they want to live the way they want to live, and they don't want a God to rule over them!
