Its the place where they give up trying to find fact and settle for opinion, a.k.a "faith" instead. Usually its the point when I ask them about the horrible things that happen to innocent human beings on a daily basis. Their answer is always "Its god's will". I translate that as "I don't know and I don't care."

Quote:So someone could have their entire family die randomly to freak accidents and that person is supposed to chalk that up to "god's will" and just move on? Common sense would suggest that now is the time you stop going to church and praying to a god that took so much from you. So you lose your career job only months from retirement and are forced to work at a convenience store at age 60 and that is part ot god's plan? And we can't leave out the situation in Japan. What did they do? How come we have things like cancer and babies born with mutations and people like Dr. Phil? For as much support this so-called "god" is getting, that supposed entity is sure not doing a very good job of taking care of its fans.
It wouldn't be randomly if it was God's will. I don't imagine they would 'just' move on, most people would grieve to that. Evidently, you need to read Job... which is all about this.
Age 60 isn't as huge as it used to be. Hooray for medicine... or to hell with it, whichever ^_^ I'll hopefully be dead by the time I'd be sixty, so it really doesn't matter to me
What situation is there in Japan this time? Weren't they having problems of some sort or other just last decade? How silly of them! ^_^ I'll tell you the most evil thing about the Japanese: they speak Japanese! >_< Few languages in this world are so awful. English is awful too. It claims to have 20 some letters... and then it makes 60 some sounds with them @_@ They should get hit with an earthquake, or six!
You will either live long enough to get cancer or die before you get it. Cancer is inevitable if you do not die. Best way to avoid cancer? Die! ^_^
Babies born with mutations are how we evolve, silly! ^_^ Sometimes we devolve, but that's okay, because how could I exist without devolving after my time warp into the past? ^_^
Dr. Phil is my hero! ^_^ Or was that just the Doctor? I don't even know! XD
Would you prefer to be enslaved by the Silicoid empire, or to deal with a little negligence from a father-figure? I'll take negligence every day, seriously.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
