After that, no more suffering, just eternal happiness. Since you only believe in this world, to you he took away everything. We don't live primarily for this world. Of course we see things differently.Um, yeah, as a side note, that's one of the more creepy and disturbing things about Islamo-Christianity. If you really believe that this life is just a transitory waiting station to one of two eternal destinations, it kind of devalues life and trivializes prematurely ending another's. I'm not saying that you would be likely to kill anyone but the more disturbed fanatics, hopped up on extraordinary faith and conviction reveal the danger of seeing reality that way.
Quote:Yes. Of course I see why it seems crazy to a non-believer. We have different worldviews.That point has already been agreed upon. My question was why your god can't forgive without killing himself first?
