echo: in response to a comment you made below, a week ago....

i think god does love all his people, but the depravity of man is to blame for the pictures you have posted.

is it god who controls the rebels that stops the aid sent to third world countries meant to fend off starvation and disease?
is it god who gives ideas to world leaders of enacting mass genocide on a people because of their skin color/ sects of religion?
is it god who abuses the child, rapes the woman, robs the store, or murders the stranger?
no, this is man.

god loves us in that he has provided all the things we need to have a good life here on this earth...
gods love is truly realized in man's abitlity to choose...

right from wrong, or to love him or not.

he is not to blame for man's wrong choices.

we all have a law written within our hearts. a law of right and wrong, good and evil. we all do not have our "own" truths, there is universal truth.

otherwise, if my truth were right for me, then would it be okay for me to rape your twelve year old daughter?
would hitler have been right for his crimes against humanity? he certainly felt he was doing the right thing....

and lastly, the one thing that seperates us from animals is guilt. where does guilt come from if there is no right or wrong? if there is no god?

think about it, if there was not greed among the top elite and corruption in governments, nor selfishness among people...and we lived in a perfect world where everyone tried to help his neighbor, and countries helped other countries, do you think that we would have the problems that we have in the world today? doesn't it sound like then this would be a perfect world?

that is the way god intended for us to live, and he has provided the means necessary to achieve this. man's choice however, is as i said, to blame.....

echo - you seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing.
Is there any reason why you are so antagonistic? I can't say I'm surprised that people don't post too much in here because it seems that every time anyone tries to have a discussion you shoot them down.

I'm not a religious person so I'm not going to get into any arguments either way, but as you know I do read these comments and it seems such a shame that you want to stir things up with people who are trying to at least talk to you.

and Echo, you didnt answer my question. you only come up with all the sad things in life. May I ask you again: do you see some nice things in life or only bad things?

so what do you want from God? should he kill the people who kill other people? how should he stop people from doing what they are doing? what for a life would that be if he would?

you may not like the world we are living in but you seem to forget that we created it, we are creating it and we still have to power to create!

you may not have understanding why God is acting the way he is because he loves everyone the same way!

Echo, I am listening but it seems you wont listen to me or even let what I am saying come close to you. You even dont think about it. you fight and fight all the time! for what reason? And not enough that you dont believe in God (I respect that) you would like to see that everyone else does the same! seriously, why? I hope I get an answer on that question.

Have you ever tried to search for God? have you ever been on your own way to find answers? Or do you believe you know that there is no God because you see and understand the world? Is that your base to believe what you seem to know?!

For me it seems you are stuck in a cobweb you have created by yourself and even if people would like to help you out of it and reach out a hand for you, you wont take it.

but wait a moment, the problem is, you are not able to see that.

If you ever need a helping hand or just an ear to listen, write me whenever you want to. I will be there. But then come up with things in your life and dont come up with the problems of the whole life. you cannot start to make this world a better place if you want to begin at the top of the mountain! At first People need to work on their own, to forget about their fear and doubts, forget about their ego and greed and all this things to bring back hope and love. Then I can imagine this world could be a better place.

So tell me echo, why are you fighting all the time against people who believe in God? what is your aim? I would like to see that you use all this energy to make this world a better place. But I dont see something usefull in your acting right now.
