    Hey, its not that I was thinking about an answer all these days :)
    See, In no way can you call the current situation "chaotic". You have jobs, good living conditions, medical help, peace (to a large extent), friends, security, beautiful nature, etc..

    Most things are good, even if there are some bad ones too. You do have good shelter, food, health, money to spend, friends, education facilities and what not!

    Be optimistic & thankful for all this! This is not chaos at all.

    If you think we are living in chaotic conditions, then you are really mistaken. The only reason why you think so is that "We will always stay greedy and ask for more, more and more. Never say "enough". Whie we do have to ask for "More" to maintain the growth, development & economic activity, but still we should feel "satisfied" on a personal level.

    Hope I was clear enough in conveying what i have in mind :)

    My wife went to pick up here passport yesterday and while waiting went to the bathroom, there was a lady crying so my wife asked her what was wrong. The lady, in her mid 60's, was homeless and really cold and hungry. She had no one to turn to. My wife gave her $20.00, maybe enough to get her by for a day or two at best. My life may not be chaotic because I chose it not to be, but that can't be said for a good chuck of the Earth's population.

    So please show me this unbelievable order in the world that is so obvious that it cannot occur by accident. I would love to explain your theory to her and the countless others suffering in this world.

    While you're at it please explain the mass killing god instilled upon the Earth with the great flood, wiping out the entire Earth's population except a few, that must have been quite the chaotic day for all who perished. Your god is an ass.

    See, brother Its not that its only My God or that the God belongs to a particular religion. He is there for each & every one.

    Secondly, I can't force anyone to believe in Him. It is your choice & if you believe, you are good. If you don't, you will have to. Someday, maybe after death, but you will feel much better, you will be good if you believe.

    One important thing is that You can not ask for proofs / justifications that God is there. You simply can't.

    Now, i won't ask you to read certain scriptures. I mean, i have not read the scriptures myself but I do have belief & that is the biggest thing :) Many believers simply don't believe enough & may actually commit more evil in the name of God.



    Your wife gave away money to that woman. Why did she do so? It was because God is kind on Her, He has given her His Blessings to be able to help others, to make her existence beneficial to others & That is the biggest thing!

    I think She already believes in God in some way & God is already showering his blessings on you because you are doing what is considered "good" (even without believing in God!) You are doing what many other believers won't do. So go tell your wife that She is Good as she is now & stay like that!! The satisfaction she can derive by helping a needy lady, is much more than she will get from any other thing. Many other onlookers, here and elsewhere, won't understand this satisfaction until and unless they don't do it themselves (without any personal benefit). When she did it, no one was looking at her & She did it solely for helping out a needy person. She didn't do it to tell others & for any personal/social benefit of Hers.

    You are Good!!

    Consider this: let's suppose you were born a descendant of the great Delia Lama. Or a family engrossed in Hari Chrishna. You would have a different opinion here.

    Dude - you are SO MIND CONTROLLED - God giveth and God taketh away. Solomon was more wealthy than any man on earth is - or ever will be. HE FOLLOWED GOD! Just look at all he suffered in Ecclesiastes!! And there are MANY others of the same following. Personally, I have found that the rich have much better karma than anyone else - I've worked for many of them.

    Why don't you take some time, open your mind, and prove to yourself just what TRUTH is all about. Although there are MANY truths in the Bible, the tabloids of this book were controlled by King James. Natural history facts have proven several statements inside of the Bible to be falsified. GET IT??

    BTW: do you REALLY believe there is such an entity as Satan? This could be your downfall.

    ROLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    True Christianity teaches Lucifer and Jesus are the same; the profane an uneducated made the Morning Star become Satan.

    If you have qualms with a religion:

    1. You have not studied it.
    2. Your arguments are directed at the lowest common denominator as the true followers and leaders do not believe what the initiates/neophytes/common folk/outsiders looking in do.
    3. Your own ego and beliefs are getting in the way of truly understanding how someone else sees things.
    4. Your denials of the religion are based politically
    5. You think you "figured it out," thus clouding any possibility of explanation because if you do not understand the basis of a religion by the time you are 20-30...Don't try attacking it.

    Yes Solomon was wealthy, and he followed God; almost like...He was wealthy in more ways than one...Because he endured so much yet kept his faith...Almost like that story is intended for children to learn to persevere and things don't always go their way but they must keep fighting to better themselves...

    Oh no, it's religion, there can't be practical lessons in it...

    There is no duality. There is no "evil."
    Think about what a sin is: It is nothing but inefficient conservation of energy in a closed system. :O Almost like a sin is based directly in physics...Almost like that's what actual believers are taught...The ones that don't go to church on Christmas and Easter in order to pretend (pray in your rooms, in your closets, in hiding...Said Jesus).

    It is a little tiring having to talk to adults like I talk to Sunday School kids, having to explain every little misconception because they can't work that out in their own minds.

    God's everywhere and independent of religion. End.
