How about, everything happens in God's time. ::)

Some things are "meant" to be. ::)
The other prize out there...haha

Pray 100x, when that freak chance happens...call it a "miracle".
Humans are a seriously dumb species.

I can't stand when someone dies, and people say:  "He/she is in a better place."
Yeah, I'm sure that person didn't want to live their life to its fullest and die at a ripe old age.

Compared to what? Robots? Reptillians? How would you define a "smart" species?

"everything happens for a reason" is perhaps the most annoying adage ever spoken


it a truly naive and western way of viewing life.......a kid in Uganda is born with AIDS, starves, and dies.........did that happen for a reason?

It is better to have blind faith than blind rage as you do.

Blind Faith can easily lead to Blind Rage.  See Sept 11, 2001.

Those people were not religious people. No religion promotes violence.

World is a violent place. i don't know about you but what i was taught from religion was tolerance, respect and love. Maybe I just had a better experience of it than most.

yes because his parents were iresponsible and shouldnt have given birth to him in the first place.

Everything actually happens for a reason. And there s a reason why this adage exists.

your reasoning is both circular and simplistic.......when i was talking about a kid in africa being born and dying......yes the obvious reason is savage parents and a cycle of perpetual ignorance and poverty...............bu t thats not the REASON i was referring to...........in an esoteric worldly sense...........what purpose is that serving??


its not only arrogant to think everything in your life is happening for a reason, its self indulgent...........if thats how you want to live life, more power to you

You've never had that little saying make sense to you? I don't givde two dog dicks about a bible but the saying isn't all that bad. It can bring light to a sore subject or help you give reason to things that shouldn't have occrured. It doesn't have to have anything to do with religion or faith.

True story. In Egypt an old lady was at the river getting some water and out of the blue a croc just jumped out of the water and lets just say that within minutes her and this concept we call life were no longer one. This was God's way of telling those people that it's time to get indoor plumbing. Sure, God, being omnipotent and all, could have just dropped a command out of the sky or maybe even appear in person and tell them himself, but this way he was sure to get their attention. Nothing like an innocent woman getting mauled to death in a truly hideous way by something that is as close to a dinosaur that we have to get your attention. That, or appearing in person and turning everybody's hair grey like he did to Moses. But, you know, God can't be everywhere... wait!???
