There is no god. Nothing like that. Youre belief system is a product of people needing someone or anything telling them how to live their lives, and what it takes to get through that life. IF everybody knew there was nothing after death JUST DEAD, then a lot of people would have a real problem with that. But religion promises them BS after IF they conduct themselves the way they are forced too. You will be better off without that silly belief.

I'm not a religious person and I'm sure you don't particularly care about what I have to say on this issue but most Christians in tend to explain the inaction of God by saying that God never interferes with human society because "he" has chosen to give human beings free will. It would make no sense to give a being free will and then dictate their actions. It is up to us to make the right choices in order to make the world a better place. If God were to step in and fix just one single thing then people would expect God to fix everything, not to mention there would be no need for faith if everyone knew that God existed. At the end of the day even religious people have to admit that there is no angelic force keeping them safe and protected from other human beings.

Your post certainly has hit a spot within. I had to rip the tears away.
I feel I might just be experiencing a very dark night right now. I woke
up this morning pissed off at the world. Only for what we've made of it.
Not for what it was meant to be. I realized my gripe is really at the
opposite pole. So maybe it's time for a pole shift.
To everyone:
You guys are friggen great man. I love you all very much.
If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

Hoping some of the great believers here can break out there concrete glue for me? I need to mend this fissure. But all comments of course will be welcomed accordingly.
