Rep Power: 23 | Sorry....but on the news it was reported that during the phone call from the plane saying that some passengers were going to try to over take the hijackers, the passenger said hold the phone a second.... the person on the other end said there was a few seconds of silence then the sounded of the screams of terrorof a large number of people on a roller coaster out of control then silence!God was not there to comfort them in thier last horrible minutes of **** I quess he was too busy, and after all most would be with him in seconds, so it didn't matter.And who is to say our God it right .....may be their God is right...and what happened was ment to be and is the RIGHT thing......and what is the right GOD! They can't all be....maybe Buddha is god maybe Allah?People have killed over their feeling that thier god is the only real god. As it has been it shall forever be.US AND THEM!We live in a sick world or scared, jealous,selfish people, that all want to be right.How sad, I don't see it changing any time soon.I only hope that the blood lust people feel now won't finish us all. |

I have not deeply studied their religions, but I am confident that NONE of their Gods teach them to kill massive amounts of people. I dont't agree with buddha, but I know he wasnt a violent person, none of the prominent "Gods" of these religions taught to kill people. God is not dead, he is alive and well. After every single tragedy that happens, you can't just assume that he is dead, if that was true, he would have been dead a long time ago. You just have to trust in him and know there is a reason for everything, even though we may not see it. |
