Very sad for Carrie's daughter to lose her mother and grandmother in two days, she's only 24. My thoughts are with the family.

Apart from writing books she was also one of the top script doctors in Hollywood editing many film and tv scripts. She was also a champion of mental health causes having battled bipolar disorder herself.
Her list of film and TV appearance is as long as your arm and much more than Star Wars films. i liked her intelligence and sense of humour.
Your comment below resonated with me ttdtt because in the UK we thought she was okay. I saw that film and got home from the cinema twenty minutes later and my daughter told me she died.
We all heard the news on friday, and saturday morning we had tix for Rogue One.
The last seen was tough to take -

Thank you that was very interesting. This is what worries me, I don't want to be dying and regretting not trying harder to get my JW family back. I do agree all that we think about at the end is probably family and loved ones, not religion.

Writers (not God) are at fault
by anointed1 inif scriptures are written by people who have no sense of justice, it is natural that god would be misrepresented—something that happened to the biblical god.
to mention a few:.
1) david, murderer of the innocent and faithful, wrote portions of the bible.. 2) paul who set in opposition to genuine apostles who were directly trained by jesus himself sarcastically describing them as “superfine apostles” openly declared in some places that it was not spirit, but he was writing.

You think wondering what the universe is all about is being egotistical? Why? We should just feel humble and small? The masses have been held down for centuries by being told to be humble or else burn in hell, get stuck in purgatory, a lower caste or die at Armageddon blah, blah, blah.
It's been a ploy of religious and political leaders to keep control of people. If God exists why would he want you to be stupid to keep you humble? You can be intelligent, question everything and still not be egotistical. It's about the joy of learning new things, not about saying how clever we are.

1. The universe being vast is for us to imagine it's there to teach us humility is a heck of a waste of intellect.
2. We could be destroyed by a meteorite at any time, it probably killed the dinosaurs.
3. Do I have to list countless poisonous berries, plants and fungi that we have only learnt to avoid through heartbreaking trial and error? A few labels from God would have been helpful.
4. You attribute the collected wisdom of human literature and philosophy to God? Purely on the basis that a lot of it makes sense? You give us so little credit. Get off your knees and engage your brain.

Following that logic God has no written will or requirements for us therefore religion is redundant. We can choose to be moral, ethical, thinking beings. We need to care for our planet and our fellow humans if we are to survive.
Personally I don't think he exists but when you say
Interestingly, God’s silence gives a louder and clear message that giving a book is not His way of guidance, hence He has no obligation to protect
I wonder what you think his way of guidance is? His silence gives the clear message of his non-existence to me.
