To praise god is to guarantee oneself into the heaven.
To blame god is to guarantee oneself into the hell.
What would you chose?

A lot of people aren't rational. Especially when it comes to protecting incoherent core beliefs.
Originally posted by 667joeGod gives and takes away, He does not get credit for so many of our blessings He gives us. Each breath, our health, jobs, sunshine, sunsets, and all the things we enjoy in the universe. I don't have a problem saying when we do die God's will is being done, or blaming others when they act out side of God's will, causing the death of one who would have lived on.

I believe one of them is that Jesus is not the only person to have ascended in to heaven. (Okay, maybe not coherent, but certainly core).
Why they would think that gods wisdom only passes through one guy is a never ending mystery to me.

Perhaps we're betting on the wrong horse...
