Truth is sprout in discussion. but it looks like folks are debating just to state they are right, and not to find the truth.
i made a conclusion, this is the thread where people don't even 'listen' to each other, they don't even try to understand what someone is saying, and some of them even hurry to insult (!) just because something is beyond their narrow comprehension
wow this thread made me feel strange... and sad .. made me think that life is so short and felt scared and not willing to lose those who are precious to me. made me imagine myself sitting beside one dear person who will die soon .. i dont want this to happen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
honestly it looked like waste of time. i give you an argument, what you do is just deny it or call it wrong, moronic, idiotic and whatever without suggesting yours and then claim i dont offer you any argument from my part. its no fun really.
okay what do you want to know? Why God doesnt appear before you to prove that He exists? my friend, please check several pages back and read again where I talked about this. Who are you so He came to you? Why should He do this? Why did you decide you have such a privilege to have Him come to you? After we were created He did not interfere with the life of the mankind directly. There is no reason for him to do it. He created the Laws. Inability or unwillingness of humans to live according to these laws bring them sufferings in this very life. and there is no fault of God in it.
One more thing I would like to explain me: will you blame God if a child will be born sick or dead if the mother drank alcohol, smoked, or took drugs, didn care of her health and was not sure who is the father of her child? Why should one blame God in all his misfortunes if he or she is a negative person? Why should God be blamed if people slept around and created AIDS and all the STDs Why should God be blamed in the misery of the starving if it was the result of human deeds (the government, politicians). Why did He allow this happen, you will ask ? Again, do you want him to come down and take the offenders by the scruff of their neck and put them to jail? or kill them?
God (i use this his name as it most general) gave the Laws humans were supposed to live upon, but they chose to live according to their own. What is happening now is the result of the choice that humans made
crotalus you are no pleasure to argue with honestly. what you do is merely call others' statement wrong and impose yours as right, at that calling them idiots. REMEMBER someone smart will NEVER proclaim he/she is smart. THE SURROUNDING PEOPLE will admit and say that because genuine intelligence will never be left unnoticed.
RE: do you ever feel lonely at night
i agree with this
