God had a plan and it was their time huh

So the men, women, and children who died and the grief the families went through was because your god said hey on this day Im going to have a house fall on top of you because I feel you should die on that day little girl

Or you can look at it as an unfortunate freak occurrence that happened naturally because of bad chance, not because a giant force purposely took your life away as he planned to do all along

I think ill live happier believing the latter

"I'm not going to defend my postition"

You CANT defend your position! You gave it a good shot but warped morals are always indefensible.

"I don't care about anybody but myself"

No kidding...

"You can continue writing messages"

No I can't, you blocked me haha

Or uncle insurance

Again, this has nothing to do with you personally. You just happened to try to justify something reprehensible. that was merely an easy in for me to attack the religion that controls your thinking and causes you to say such bullshit. It's not your fault your mind is utterly warped, how could it be? No one would ever willingly ask for such a thing, it just happens. Usually from a young age or in a time of suffering or need.

My only goal here is to make sure more people don't end up like you.

[brainfoodlunch]

You're sitting here advocating people's right to decide for themselves but at the same time questioning the validity of me questioning your beliefs. Sorry, but asking questions is an important part of making informed, rational decisions. I'm just making sure people see both sides of this issue. If you say that's wrong you're a hypocrite.

"I'm not trying to fool anybody"

And I've made no such accusation.

"I'm just simply stating my opinion/views"

Great, me too!

"people have to ability to think for themselves"

Yes, but it helps to see both sides of the issue. That's where people with opposing viewpoints, like me, come in!

I'm not trying to fool anybody. I'm just simply stating my opinion/views, if somebody chooses to believe it then thats there choice. You have to remember, people have to ability to think for themselves, they should be able to take multiple opinion/views from other people, compair it to their own morals and beliefs and then come up with a conclusion as to what they think is wrong or right. If they're unable to do so then thats their problem. I'm not cramming my beliefs down anybodies throat.

i now earthquakes happen naturally. but that doesnt mean we dont have the ability to create on unnaturally.
