It is a hard, steep road full of doubt, re-dedication, blood, sweat, and tears.

And $20.

Here.

... Just maybe inflated over nine more paragraphs.

I seem to have scared him away. Poke a hole in their "miracle" stories and they flutter away like a balloon. Xtians should be made of sterner stuff.

Xtians should never be made.

"scared"? I think not little man. Don't think so highly of yourself...

Unlike you and the masses here, I have a LIFE!

But, I will be around to torment your godforsken souls "when I can"!

Meanwhile go blow your Hiroshima miracle out your ass you phony bastard.

Take for instance the 9/11 attacks. Were you as appalled as the rest of us by the sheer atrocity of what happened and what led up to it, not to mention its aftermath, or did you celebrate yet another manifestation of God's plan?

This is not an assault, though you will perceive it as such; I genuinely want to know.

Yes stimmy I was appalled @ any attacks on fellow human beings... and yes I would look both ways just like all humans.

I can say that if God's plan includes these [inspite of my feelings] I will trust it is in His divine plan.

I won't enjoy seeing any disaster, but I will trust in God.

Like I said before, our lives here are an eye-blink in time compared to all eternity. And once the body is dead, I believe that our spirits will live on forever with God. Like God.

What matters is, in that short time we are here to; Love and Help one another to acheive eternal life with our Creator.

As I've said many times, God can't hand us His divinity. We need to earn it through: love, salvation, and reconciliation.

"As God through Jesus Christ shared in our humanity (in every way but sin) so shall we share in His divinity."

Until you die and find out nothing because your brain will be dead with your body, and your consciousness will end.

Thanks for addressing my post - ronny. Your reply now qualifies for this supplementary question: if you became convinced that your god told you to go out and be a part of some similar atrocity in its name, would you still trust in its plan?

Please try to answer without resorting to preaching or quoting extensive bible-spam at me.
