Let's see, in the last few months in the news; a few churches have burnt down, a person went into a church and killed a number of people ( I guess God wanted them killed so He could take them to Utopia, as a result, the people had to leave their families behind), and a few churches have been robbed. Sooo, God just let's this stuff happen?? For what reason?

I am just pointing out the hypocrisy of organized religion here in the world. I see you have no answer again.

I think it comes down to perspective. I tend to look at life and situations through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I was dead (spiritually) in sin - in total rebellion against God - God sent Jesus to pay my sin debt even though I am guilty of "putting Jesus on the cross" He loved and loves me even when I am unloveable and do unlovely things. Through that "lens" of what God did and does for me - that is how I view life. Now, does that answer all my questions - no, I have many - but one thing I don't question is that God loves me. I don't understand how gravity holds the earth in its orbit, but that doesn't decrease the effectiveness of gravity. Just because I don't understand something, doesnt' mean that something doesn't exist or doesn't happen.

It looks to me that you tend to look at life through circumstances and feelings. Circumstances change sometimes every minute. So with that will come a rollercoaster of fears and emotions and challenging everything you believe. Sometimes I may not feel like loving Jody - but I do. I haven't stopped - I just may not want to be around her for a little while.
