That moron logic fails to account for, not only cancer in children, but as Stephen Fry notes, the degree of suffering involved which can have them howling in excruciating pain. And what then of animals, many of whom must rip other animals apart in order to survive in this "perfect world". Are they suffering in order to meet God in a heaven as well? And what of Atheists and people of other faiths. Do they not suffer the same fates of cancer and all manner of suffering. The moronic logic fails to see that the same fate is suffered by all, and when such is pointed out, you'll likely get some nonsense about "mysterious ways", as if they weren't just claiming to know God's mind in their previous statement.
When Oral Roberts was claiming that unless he raised $5M, god said he would call him home, one of our editorial writers penned an editorial that the jest of which was, if Oral actually believed what he was preaching, he would welcome being called home.
And it's always the religious ones who do everything and anything to avoid meeting jesus . Every extreme measure , every treatment in the book , they go for it . The pope was laughable when his x came .
I have thought that since my twenties.
because most don't believe they just sheep following the crowd. Then those who have led bad lives and think they will end up in hell.
If tragic, premature death in the form of cancer can be viewed as a lovely analogy demonstrating the love of Jesus then what isn't? Any form of tragic, premature death can be viewed as a loving gesture by Jesus to call one home: hit by a car, torn apart by hyenas, tied to an anchor and drowned in 3000 ft of water, hung from a cross beam, decapitated by terrorists, it's all just Jebus calling you home.
Fuck, Xians are stupid.
And do not Atheists, those of other faiths, and other sentient creatures also suffer agonizing deaths?
who ever comes up with crap like that is very very stupid
Not worried about the jerk that came up with it, I'm worried about the idiots that believe it.
I feel so much better now, and I'm sure my late wife, a lifelong atheist, feels much better too.
Hugs. These people are just feckin' thoughtless.
Is this a preview of what 'the lord' has in store for his fans! I would be very suspicious if the admittance to a club involved pain and misery.
