And regarding the hi-jackers and the people praying on the flight, God has a time for EVERYONE. It was their time to go. They're in a way better place than they were in now. Even though their families suffered a huge loss and are in pain. They know they'll be reunited. One day they will be reunited.

So are we to in fact believe that this was in fact a good thing? Should we praise the hijackers for being so kind as to speed those people on their way to a better place?

Exactly, they were just doing god's work...killing people and creating misery and hate.

If they happen to belong to the correct religion. Remeber, god is vengeful and if they happen to subscribe to the wrong religion then to hell they go. That's the philosophy of most religions anyway. So maybe 3-5 people in the 9-11 attacks were correct and will make it to heaven. The rest will surely never be reunited with anything except an eternity of anal rapage with SATAN!

, of course!

its a psychological thing, i guess. people deal better with problems if they think that a supreme power is backing them up.

some people need drugs, some people need alcohol, some people need god ... and some people just need to get laid to help them cope with life.

for me, sundays mornings are best spent having sex

to each his own.



god is vengeful

holy crap ... and i thot he was nice old guy with a flowing beard who was willing to forgive and love and that goody stuff.


Correct religion?

hmmm, lets see now ...

IIRC, 33% of the world's population is Christain ... which means that the rest 67% are going to hell.

Out of the Christains, lets say half are "good" christians - so they're going to heaven.

Which means that 83.5% of the world is going to hell

Religion - the opiate of the masses.

How true.
