[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a practicing Catholic who can imagine an 11th century Muslim resident of Jerusalem asking the same thing of Christians.

No religion has a monopoly on violent extremists. People of faith everywhere deal with the challenge of the lofty ideals of our beliefs vs. the reality of being morally weak humans in an imperfect, tempting world.

So you refer to the Crusades.  And you STILL  can't see that religion has been used to control since the beginning of time?

Someone said during yesterday's mass shooting that God protected her.  So why didn't God protect the others?  [b]Does God just spin a wheel when making these decisions?  toss a dice?  pick names out of a hat?  [/b]

In other words, why doesn't God do what *I* think is right? Wahh! Waaah![/quote]

God works in mysterious ways -- that's what  believers need to keep in mind when these seemingly senseless things happen.  There is a plan.  We just don't understand it - and won't until we get to heaven -- if we believe.  Otherwise we'll never know, plus we'll burn in hell for not believing.[/quote]

This kind of "reasoning" is what allows people to kill in the name of God/Allah.  God has a plan and our job is to.... believe in it or go to hell, kill on his behalf to make it to heaven, interpret it as we wish and condemn the rest for not doing the same.[/quote]
