Who's God did this?!?

[Cinjin]

So if you believe that then Nap you also believe that life is pretty shit and hopeless?

The point is CC that we appreciate the beauty of the big picture. Death is part of that picture. I don't need a fantasy to make that acceptable. You seem to want that??

Look frodo, you may be a very reasonably guy - I don't know you, but I'm sure you'll understand the rational logic behind what I'm saying - which is: If you believe that your god knows you personally, loves you, and looks after you - than you, by proxy, must believe that he cares for everyone this way. Thus, it becomes impossible for a person of your beliefs to explain why your god allows certain people (like these poor bastards) to suffer in torment for an entire lifetime.

...unless of course you consider one of these two factors:
#1 These are not your beliefs and you don't believe that you have a personal relationship with god - as nearly all christians claim to have.
#2 These people, not being born into the Christian faith were cursed by god as they were being conceived.


Basically, the only answer a Christian can have to this and still maintain that they have a personal relationship with god is this: "Yes, my god is allowing them to experience a lifetime of suffering."
