do you know why we suffer?
life on this earth is a waiting room.

*1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
Did I miss a point here? Did you even have one?
Then why isn´t every fundie member of military, police or fire department. If death is your ultimate victory, you should do everything in your power to reach this status. And dangerous jobs with a large chance of getting killed seem to be the perfect opportunity to die without having to commit suicide ;)
Suffering doesn't bring you closer to God. It's just depressing and exhausting for anyone.
You may not need food in heaven but you sure as hell need it here on earth. I take it you always have food whenever you wanted it.
Get back to me when you or someone close to you has really suffered, been a victim of violence or you have really really been hungry and not able to get any food.
"do you know why we suffer? The sickening thing is, Mother Teresa believed exactly the same thing.
Her "hospices" were veritable shrines to suffering.
This poster clearly has a powerful intellect and is speaking from an unassailable postion based on pure logic.
We need to take this eloquent speech to heart; lest we find ourselves in the bowels of Hell where not even the most kickass doctor can help us.
Also, judging by his writing style, it looks like he's read James Frey's fraudulent and un-kickass memoir.
War is peace, freedom is slavery, suffering is good, death is a victory.
"life on this earth is a waiting room.
And what disease is he treating you for? Presumably life, because you have to be dead to see him.
And xianity is supposedly life-affirming...
life on this earth is a waiting room.
Yeah. A doctor who spreads diseases to augment his business and then makes you wait even though there's no reason to.
"life on this earth is a waiting room.
My question: why isn't the doctor able to deal with all of us at once, why are we permitted to shoot each other in the waiting room, why does the waiting room itself send axes flying randomly in our directions, and why would a good doctor let us writhe in agony as we gradually die naturally, kill each other, or be massacred by the room itself, while he is just idly chatting with other patients?
When you say God does not stop violence, is because, he said Do not be violent and we did not listen.
That's right! Like when the earthquake in China killed thousands of school children. They should have listened to the LORD and not earthquaked! He told them not to earthquake but they did it anyway, so they got what they deserved. Fuck 'em! [/sarcasm]
"When you say God does not stop violence,
... or is it possible, given the tech of the times, to kill an entire city without being violent?

"Suffering brings you closer to God"
Is this person from Silent Hill?
Ah, it's all so clear now! God is Pyramid Head!
I had the exact same exerience in my classroom.
At the beginning of the year I told the kids that they shouldn't be violent.
Two months later one of the kids hit another one.
I had told them to not be violent, but they didn't listen.
food is not necessary to enter into heaven
Anorexics for Jeeezus?
(my sympathies go to those suffering anorexia or bulimia, but not eating to get to Heaven quicker?)
This reminds me of a joke I heard once: This super-religious man decided to dedicate the rest of his life to God. He prayed and asked God what he should do to be godly, and God answered him. Unfortunately, the man was somewhat hard of hearing. When he died and ascended to the heavenly throne for his judgment, he said, "Lord, I did everything You wanted me to do. I fasted, I prayed, I praised You and Your Son, I did charitable works to benefit my fellow man, a drop of alcohol never passed my lips, and I fought against sexual temptations of every sort. In fact, I died a virgin. I'd like my angel wings now, please." And God, with a look of great compassion, leaned down so the man could hear Him better and said, "You've done many good deeds for others and I can see you have a good heart, so you get your wings, no problem. However, I must tell you that you misinterpreted how I meant you (and others) to live your earthly lives. I said, celebRate, not..."
(no disrespect meant to people who are hard of hearing, I hope nobody takes offense..)
do you know why we suffer?
It's demented ideas like that that produce people like Mother fucking Teresa - who built, under the guise of a hospital, a place where she could bring terminally ill people and, rather than provide competent medical care, simply watch them die so that she could get closer to god.
Your religion is a fucking insane death cult.
You may suffer to be closer to god, but remember: YOU ARE STILL SUFFERING. God hasn't really come through with any kind of reward, but still...you suffer. Voluntarily.

Confused?
