Do you think everybody should live to a certain age? What age is that?

Well, enough to see all phases of life and if end early, why make anyone suffer first?

It’s all apart of his plan. That 6 year old who dies early still made an impact on everyone’s whose lives she touched while here. Caring for her, loving her, and losing her may have brought her parents closer to salvation. She also may have been spared from a tragic life of sin after reaching the age of reason. You don’t know. We all have to suffer in this life. Just because you think you can make a better world doesn’t mean it’s true.

The good news is that God is merciful, he offers forgiveness, and we have been redeemed from our natural state of disobedience to God. Suffering, too, has been redeemed and doesn’t have to be meaningless. All it takes is you to accept what he’s offering you.

The fact that you are struggling with God is a good sign. Keep asking questions, and perhaps one day your heart will open and hear his call.

Are you for real?

Think of the worst person you have ever known, or known of. To me, your god is worse. Fortunately, it is highly unlikely he exists.

I think you also may be a bad person, or at least one with values and priorities I find reprehensible and inhuman. The fact that you are NOT struggling with that is a concern. Start asking questions, and perhaps one day your eyes will open and you will see the truth.

Okay? Did getting that out make you feel better?

Much.

I think the question “do you believe in God” is virtually meaningless because an answer of “yes” explains nothing about what you believe in. It may be that the Big Bang was caused by a conscious entity but I don’t see such an entity as being “good” or “bad.” I see no point in praying to such an entity because such an entity is immutable in time. To such an entity, the future has already happened.

I wondered if "Plan" pp were real too. If so, it's truly amazing what people will do to justify their god.

I feel the meaning of life is about the process. So the big question is do we care?
I say we do.

Don't kid yourself -- there are plenty of people who think the concept of Hell is ridiculous.

It becomes a little easier to understand if you accept that you agreed to this life before you incarnated. You knew the things that you needed to work on. You knew the lives you were meant to touch. You knew the healing that you needed to do. Of course, you always have free will. And you probably have no memory of your soul contract. But, you did choose this.

I had cancer. It sucked. But, it changed me. It made me a more compassionate person. It made me appreciate every moment more. When my best friend died, I had another shift. I was really angry at God/Goddess, Source, Spirit, …whatever name you choose. As I began to process her death, I began to accept that dying isn’t the worst thing that can happen. Her death led me to Hospice Chaplaincy. I’m a better minister because I’ve experienced loss and suffering.

We are only on this earth planet for a minuscule amount of time during each lifetime. Our purpose is to learn to be more loving, more compassionate, more like the Source from which we come.

Just my thoughts.

don't worry about, because he's "supernatural" i.e., he exists only in your imagination.

It's more than just your thoughts -- it's rife with your unfounded beliefs -- i.e., that we agreed to this life before we "incarnated" and that our purpose here is to learn to be more loving....

Exactly. What makes you believe all this?

You can believe what you like, but you can't say that your beliefs are facts that apply to other people.

If you are the hospice chaplain who posts here occasionally, I hope you're not feeding this line to people who are dying and their friends and family. It doesn't represent the beliefs of any religion that I know of.

Supernatural doesn’t mean something exists only in a person’s imagination. It means it exists beyond the natural world.

I other words, only in your imagination
