It’s okay to a point. Then the usual suspect or suspects ride it to being obnoxious, then lock. Slowly they become isolated until another obnoxious person joins their destructive behavior. This thread invites some religious conversation because of the sadness with people looking for comfort. 

Interesting how when a poster rebuts your well founded self belief you immediately retract to them being destructive? Genuinely interested why you are so reflexive? I think of you as a wise person. You don’t return that respect or open mindedness, why?

My heart goes out to the families of those that lost loved ones, especially the children. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. Yesterday my wife read a news article about the flash flood and loss o

Our minister returned Saturday. He says it’s like a well oiled machine there. Some are already rebuilding. Some buildings are down to studs drying. So many people are helping.

I was once a militant atheist but was converted when I went to disprove God's existence once and for all.  I'm thankful that my name was written in the Lamb's book of life on June 13th, 2007.

 

What, exactly, happened on that date? I think I might be glad I missed it. I'm not a militant athiest, but I don't believe in any God sold by religion.

Most of the state is a flood zone. Most of California is a fire zone. The Midwest is a tornado zone. It gets totally cold in Alaska. Life is a crap shoot.

It's like your other thread which apparently got deleted. Everyone is about free speech and being respectful until it's an issue which offends them, then nobody is allowed to talk about it b/c hurt feelings.

Seems that way. Problem is the easily butt hurt are also easily swayed by cult leaders. USA constitution can’t survive that way without internally solid citizens.

God knows everything and he can choose to intervene or not to intervene.  Did you know that small children are referred to as innocents and should they die, they go to heaven?  Those who understand God and his plan do not fear death like the lost person.  Those who have been born-again know what happens to a person after death and that people are either with the Lord in heaven or are eternally separated in the lake of fire for all eternity.  

 

An evangelist once told me, there are two kinds of people, saint and ain'ts.  I was once a militant atheist but was converted when I went to disprove God's existence once and for all.  I'm thankful that my name was written in the Lamb's book of life on June 13th, 2007.  That afternoon was the moment that I recognized that I was a guilty sinner for breaking God's laws and was deserving of eternal hell.  That's when I made repentance towards God and put my faith in Jesus Christ.  At that moment I was indwelt by the Holy Spirit for all eternity and given a new heart with new desires.

 

I still sin, but am remorseful, immediately so, when I do it.  On the other hand, I delight in knowing the Lord and having my prayers answered by Almighty God.

 

Don't put it off man, you don't know when your last day on this earth is going to be.  

 

Some friendly advice? Don't get in the water while the piranha are eating each other.

And here you are, posting with all the other fish and calling people 'piranha'. Welcome to the party, pal.

In order to enter the kingdom of God, one must be born-again.  That means making repentance to God and putting one's trust in Jesus Christ.  At that moment, the person is indwelt by the Holy Spirit for all eternity and given a new heart with new desires and now has a personal relationship with God through his son.  

 

This is not religion.  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

False. This "god" you speak of doesn't exist. You are of course welcome to believe in whatever fairytale you wish.

 

You're just going to have to let it go, and since the topic was just re-opened by a moderator, I doubt they wished for you to bring up religion.
