im gonna be super unkind here and im sure unpopular.



But dont you think that maybe God is aware of the overpopulation crisis?

i mean a couple thousand years ago, you could raise a few folks from the dead, and it was cool, but these days...one more living person brings us closer to the brink here.


Basically, God has two choices here...a moral dilemma...He can kill of an SUV driver (i prefer a hummer driver personally) and let your cousin live, or he can let him stay dead....

now, the hummer driver may not DESERVE life...but he isnt dead already...so there is aLOT less work involved

plus, the hummer driver PROBABLY supports the republican party...in fact, he definately does if halliburton touches any of his gas (and they do). and since Republicans=Gods chosen party (what you didnt know this?) God better keep jimbob alive.

Perhaps God should do better things with God's time, like figuring a way how to provide enough resources for everyone to live happily and not die.

It is not our place to think we can comprehend the will of God nor judge his decisions. Or would you place yourself an equal to God that you feel you can judge him?

So if your wife and children die in some freak, random accident, we'll just chalk it up to God's population control. Got it.

The message of Christianity is that one day God will.

Why God allows death and destruction is beyond me. The biblical testimony is, as well as many Greek philosophies, that human evil perverted the natual way of things, causing nature to decay, and is the reason why we must die.

Death is merely, a rebirth. It is neccessary for us to seperate from our corporeal state and advance to a state of solely the soul.
