You too have to decide one way or another. Either you believe there is a God, or you don't. Your post makes it seem ambigious.Originally Posted by BlueHatch
Why does anyone die at all? Look at what just happened to the IA community with Val. Why did she have to die? Why did your Grandfather have to go? Why did my Grandmother, who was in the same situation as your Grandfather being healthy and happy then suddenly passing away, have to go? Why do children have to die? Why do parents have to bury their own children?
All of us here are left with more questions than answers. Answers is what everyone wants for closure. The question is: Where do you go to find those answers? Some people look inward and become bitter. Some people look outward and realize that there is a purpose to everything under the sun. While someone's death is very tragic and hurts for a long time, it does serve some kind of purpose. You may not find that purpose until you look in different places, but if you look eventually the purpose will fall into place. I'm still looking and searching for my Grandmother's purpose. She was an angel on earth as far as I was concerned. She was seemingly healthy. She certainly was happy. She had the support of her entire family. Why did she have to go while no-good murderers get to live?
Trust me, I've asked the same questions you have. I'm still trying to figure out that last piece of my Grandmother's puzzle. One day I'm certain that piece will fall into place and I will see the picture God wants ME to see. Until then, I will keep looking for that. I suggest you do the same. I understand the questions and the initial bitterness of losing a loved one unexpectedly. But if you don't channel that negative energy into something more constructive, you will find yourself being bitter for a long long time.
I hope you find the answers you're looking for, but I know one thing....there is a purpose to everything. Remember that.
right on +1 to you. and yes it is kind of "straddling the fence" statement, but who's to say ive made up my mind? as one of these people who dwells on shit damn near to extinction, i really find that its day to day. i like to think that everything happens for a reason jaime i really do but when sometimes when you tell yourself that over and over, it starts to sound like a cop-out almost. im sorry about your grandmother and your friend. they are peaceful. like my homeboy rico somewhere cold chillinYou too have to decide one way or another.

I know....
BTW, I'm going to jump up on my stump for a minute because to be honest I'm really sick of hearing the same tired excuse.
The Bible was PHYSICALLY written by men. What's the point? Show me a single religious text that they use at ANY church on Sunday that isn't. EVERY single "Bible" for EVERY religion was written BY a man sometime. Right or wrong? If you say wrong, bring me the "Bible" you use and believe was written by your God then.
I'm sick and tired of hearing the same old tired rebuttal that the Christian Bible was "written" by men so it can't be factual, it must be what "man" says and not what God wants it to say. Well that's just absolutely retarded logic. Using that logic would mean that EVERY single book in existance was utterly incorrect since a printing company printed a bunch of copies and it wasn't personally handwritten by the original author therefore it suddenly didn't say what he/she originally wanted it to say.......
How's that make sense? It doesn't. I'm personally tired of hearing the same old line. Come up with something better. Use your brain. Read the Bible and point out what it is you don't agree with. I have far more respect for someone that has read the Bible and questions something, than someone who's never read it yet just points in the proximity of it and questions it's validity.
/off my stump. (For now)
I do agree that just because Man wrote the book it doesn't mean it isn't true to life. But, how does Man know what happened in the very beginning, Adam and Eve. How do they know all the details to put in the book? To me, I see the Bible as being kind of on the same lines as the old Davy and Goliath shows that came on TV years ago:
Just a bunch of stories compiled into one big book(like a Mother Goose book) to teach people morals and the way of God. That's part of what I don't understand. I don't know. At the same time that I get so confused about this stuff, I do find it fascinating as hail. Later, QD.
