Everything around you proves hes real. You think all this stuff around you just happens. The Big bang crap. Yeah whatever. Everything proves that he is real. Just cause bad things happens doesnt mean He's not there. He allows us to make our own choices. You have nothing that proves he not there but your own word. I have everything around that shows somthing made this happen. These things dont JUST happen. 58558@blogcritics.org Fri, 16 Apr 2004 22:42:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/06/014452.php#comment-56217 That's an exceptionally interesting point: if you believe in a god, do you think all other gods are false? Or is it all the same god - at least for the monotheistic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam - and just different interpretations of how to get to Him? Is everyone who doesn't follow your particular approach going to hell? 56217@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 Apr 2004 08:14:53 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/06/014452.php#comment-56211 Yes, what was done to the Americans was horrible. But frankly the US fucked things up from the beginning in Fellujah when more than a dozen civilians were killed there almost a year ago. And you're just as likely to be praying to a god which doesn't exist. 56211@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 Apr 2004 06:39:41 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/06/014452.php#comment-56199 You think the children and innocents torn apart by the US Army's prediliction for "reconnaisance by artillery" in the last 50 years of your wars are funny? How about lynchings? sure looked like a lynching to me. As for those poor lynched bastards last week? They were mercenaries pure and simple. They take a lot of cash and they take a lot of chances and they don't expect anyone to cry for them. These ones got on TV but hundreds die just like it when things go wrong in africa, south america, the balkans or south east asia all the time. Actually I don't think it's OK whoever's doing it. But it's not like America's setting a great example. ___ Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries THESE, in the day when heaven was falling The hour when earth's foundations fled, Followed their mercenary calling, And took their wages, and are dead. Their shoulders held the sky suspended; They stood, and earth's foundations stay; What God abandoned, these defended, And saved the sum of things for pay. A.E.
