The world is me and them but not us. As in I am good you are bad. I’m going to heaven and you are not. I’m right and you are wrong.
People love material, making money and getting rich at the expense of others. Simply to promote pain and suffering on others and profit from it. When people stop condemning what others are doing as wrong and start condemning the same things they are doing, then you will encourage the suffering to stop. If you cannot find and condemn things that you like doing, that makes others suffer. How can you expect others to do the same? It is not about the child, it is about the one doing it, who acts like a child because of their lack of self control.
I am not speaking about the flesh or that you only need one life to be freed from sin. I say this world is a classroom, where God will break us all! We will all be forced to learn and see the truth of our sin and suffering so to disown it. This is the only way to become free from it and its extreme suffering. It may take only 10,000 years or it could take 500,000 years of suffering for every person. However long it takes for God to straighten out our hardhead spirit is what it will be.
We where not kicked out of heaven for no reason. We where not placed in this world to learn sin and suffer. The reason why we where removed from heaven is that we cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
Lying, cheating, stealing and murder are not sinful but the result of sin. It is an example of what a sinner do.
Ah, yes. The good old 'It's not god's fault, it's ours' argument. Well, considering I don't belive in your religion, I believe that is just the human attempt to reconcile a frequently painful existence with an omnipotent deity. If I did believe in god, I would think that is a total copout of a position for an omnipotent deity to take, and would not deem him/her/it worthy of worship.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
