My guess is that God simply made all of the door openable. I don't think that (if there was a God) that She would show you the door - nor open it. She has just made this life where there are lots of doors - and that it's TOTALLY up to you/us to open those doors and walk through them. Too many times I see people w/ their hands up waiting for a hand out, totally disregarding the brainpower and control (I think you call it free-will) that God has given us in that life. But that's my raggedy ass opinion - who asked me.

+1 to Choi, Geoff, Sport, and Creman for standing by your convictions as well. This is never a personal debate - I'm never attacking who you are or your familes... I'm not that guy. Just getting my flavor of kool-aid out there on the table and you can drink all of it, some of it, or you can leave it and drink none of it. I hope there is never any respect lost as people behind these debates. I do learn something every time that a few of you post... if that wasn't the case then I'd never chime in on these subjects. It's all love.
