If God is so nice amazing, why would he let many innocent humans die for no good reason?

That doesn't sound like a very "Godly" thing to me.

From the way I view it, He* doesn't. God's Love goes beyond that any human's sword can pierce. Even in death, those find life with Him. And in suffering, those find peace with Him. Not solely from just going to Church, but everywhere. From looking at the sky, from painting a pretty picture, from hearing a bird sing. His words, His works, and His Love are everywhere - it is just by our own eyes that we see it in different lights. And though certainly pain exists, and while we certainly often stumble, God is always willing to help us back up and He always tries to. But what can God do without our cooperation?

Even Riddler?
Even him. :o

Allow me to throw another log on:

It is actually one of my favorite quotes, no Christians can explain it.
Simple, He isn't omnipotent in all matters.

*I use "He" just because that is easily recognizable and more common. To me, I always pictured God more as a woman, but one would suppose God is without gender.

Religion is an ideology and a hierarchal system, not an object. Just like a government can cause things, a religion can as well.
Point taken.

Just as a side note as well (I thought I posted this already, but I couldn't find it :c), I want to thank you for stating religion specifically when you talk about such matters. The difference between religion and 'Faith' is great, though some fail - or down right refuse - to recognize this.

No it doesn't, that's human materialism. Money can't CAUSE anything, it's inanimate.
Just like religion :D

and, 95% of the christians i've met in my 19 years of life, have all tried to shove their lies and hypocritical stuff down my throat, or are super-flamboyant and read bible versus out loud in my face all loving day.
that's why so many people hate your loving religion.
Maybe you live in a densely packed Christian area? Most places like that are as such because they are Christian communities. :I

did you also know the Popes of the Renaissance were claimed hypocrites by Lutherans.
with is rather accurate because the pope said no sales would be done within the church, and there he was selling indulgences.

martin luther also had the balls to call him the Anti-Christ, which was a ballsy move because back then, if you insulted the pope, it'd most likely get you killed.
The Renaissance Popes, for the most part, were fairly corrupt.  That's why the Protestant movement happened in the first place. But Christianity, on a whole, was/is not spoken solely by Roman Catholicism, and Christianity and it's ideals certainly played a huge role in the development of the Renaissance and the years following it.

Yeah most of the Popes were very corrupt, but the whole Lutheran movement itself is a massive overreaction.  While in the middle ages through the rennaissance most popes were corrupt, there is no reason to stay split up until today.  We are only apart still because that's how it has been.
That plus Protestants typically have differing beliefs from Catholics. :o

Most Canadians are French.

And forget you, America isn't English.  America is the melting pot of the world, we take the best qualities of every culture and put mix it all up.
And then it tastes like dirt D:

The bible describes going to heaven as you losing your memories, your thought/wants/needs/personality. You cannot look down on your fAmily and friends, and there is no reflecting on your previous life, or even having an enjoyment of being in heaven at all.
You then exist as a mindless drone to forever praise god.

If a heaven does exist, it sounds like a hell.
And would be contrary to earning a afterlife if you lost who you were anyways.

Religous people fail.
And christians don't even know any of this because they don't read the bible lol.
There are people who believe this, you know. :o

I thought of this:
God wants to see who's good and bad before he lets them in his heaven.

I don't really believe in God, but it seems like this is something anyone would do. It's kind of like not letting someone in your house because you don't trust them.
And those who aren't worthy to enter your house burn in a fiery pit of doom and despair.


That's the rule in my house. :D

Why not? Maybe it's for our experience. Maybe for God's.

If god is all-forgiving, how do you know everyone isn't up there?
I believe they are. :o

We saw this already.
Last year.
I have to say, Canada is a Big brother to the US.
The US is just Canada's puppet state so that they can perform evil experiments upon it's citizens.

But that's okay, because Canada is just the France's puppet state.

Which is really Switzerlands's puppet state.

But all Switzerland is is a puppet state for Italy. :o

That looks pretty nice, Mage.

On another note, I placed second in my music school's merit scholarship competition and won $75. :D

What should I get?
Move to Zimbabwe, become wealthiest man there. :o
