Tennyson:
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed.

I don't know.
And Please don't tell me you believe in evolution, because even the experts are finding major flaws in that theory.
OK, I won't tell you I think evolution makes sense despite its flaws. The "poof-Earth!" theory has no flaws at all, I take it?
So what is your opinion??
My opinion is, I don't know.
Why is that so hard for you to say? Why do you think every question must have an unambiguous answer.

Question for Believers - Why did god "create" poison ivy, poison toad stools, and marijuana?
by Comatose inif he created them, then he would have had to use divine intervention to protect people from eating them or burning them.
even after being told not to and passing that knlowedge on, small children could inadvertently get into poison berries or mushrooms.
what about bacteria that causes extreme stomach problems like giardia?

From the movie, "Creation" (about how "The Origin of Species" came to be written):
[Charles Darwin]: "You know, I was remarking only the other day, how he [God] has endowed us in all of his blessed generosity with not one but nine-hundred species of intestinal worm, each with its own unique method of infiltrating the mucosa and burrowing through to the bloodstream. And on the love that he shows for butterflies by inventing a wasp that lays its eggs inside the living flesh of caterpillars. "

They die for the same reasons we do.
Check out Darwin. He had some thoughts on the matter.

villagegirl: " Holy Cow Simon - Please don't let the world know how "not nice" we Canadians really are I lived 25 years in California, but I was born in Ottawa Ontario and returned to Canada in 1989. The first thing I noticed was all the bashing of Americans. Why ? It doesn't make any sense Simon. Because Americans BUY 85% of what Canada produces. "
Thanks for the breath of fresh air, villagegirl. I'm glad there are at least a few Canadians that think the U.S. is not completely evil. And believe me, Brits and Canadians don't limit their bashing while living in their own countries. I can't tell you how many that come here will tell you to your face how much they despise the U.S. even when they're guests here.
In my experience, Brits are the worst, Canadians a close second, and Germans coming in third. I've worked with many of these people at the University of Connecticut and at Penn State -- all, without exception, were smug, critical and seemingly unaware of the irony that they were taking advantage of this country's opportunities without a shred of gratitude for the freedom that made that possible.
That proud tradition continues here on a regular basis. As I said earlier, it's the fashion for foreigners to throw stones from their glass houses. And Americans are expected to "roll over" and take it.

LisaRose: " The political threads are full of people pointing out problems in the US, so I don't understand the need for a specific "America is not the best" thread. "
That's why these threads irritate me. It's the fashion these days for foreigners to criticize the U.S., and if Americans take exception to it, they're accused of having a knee-jerk defensive response that "America's the best," "No problems here," etc.
Then we get painted with the same brush about Americans rolling over and letting the government run roughshod over us, as though we're not aware of our problems and are trying to correct them.
The very title of this thread was designed to be offensive to Americans.
I don't understand the need some people have to post these threads either, but they keep on coming anyway.

What do you think happens when we die?

" If we are just dead then there is no point to anything I do. "
No one, NO ONE, knows for certain what happens when we die, other than what happens to the body.
If there is nothing more after death, that should make every moment of your life more precious.
Life is its own point.

Skinned Sheep, if no one you care about will be hurt by your "apostacy," then I say let them have it with both barrels and tell them you'll call the police if they come around again.
A clean break is great if you can manage it.
