Compliant? You think that lowly of yourself?. I think humans as individuals are much happier on average when they have a say and most humans don't like being slaves. I think you deserve to be treated better than mere property.

Obviously not you. But what is more important is a very needless and horrible mentality you subject yourself to.
Again, see if you can spot the pattern.
"I'm merely being compliant to the will of Allah"
"I am merely being compliant to the will of Yahweh"
"I am merely being compliant to the will of the Communist party"
See how that works? You think it is not the same as what you are doing to yourself, but it is no different.
I think humans are much happier when they have a say in what happens to them. I think you needlessly replace your own individual thinking and replace it with a utopia that does not exist. It may bring you comfort, but in mass any form of blind loyalty can lead to really horrible things.
Not trying to hurt you which is what you falsely think. I am trying to snap you out of your dream state.

If God allows someone to die a horrific death on Earth but at the same time has been spending eternity with that person by his side, how is that allowing evil - when we are also out side of time I don't think we will view this as evil either.
Brian37: We are assuming in this discussion that God exists.
Ok, then say "lets pretend" because in reality that is what they are doing. Lets not coddle their superstitions. I think most people can put their adult pants on if you give them a chance.
