    In Romans it states that God gave man over to their own desires. Free will. Man can choose between eternal life or not. You are not
    forced what to choose.

    Anyway, that's the short answer.

    Free will seems to contradict the god has a plan for everyone/thing statement, though.

    I'm not Christian but I am a music lover and what he's done for me symbolically is inspire great music from Mahalia Jackson to Chopin or Beethoven. Gospel Choirs got me into singing as a kid and I've stuck with it throughout my life. Also great art and architecture have graced the planet from religious devotion. These are great achievements inspired by religious icons of which he was a big one.

    HA! And so it is, some of us are needed to study War and Naval Architecture, so that those that are skilled can create and appreciate, great music, art, and architecture.

    I know God isn't Lutheran because my best friend died of a mysterious heart attack at 18 the evening after helping paint his church. I'm pretty sure He doesn't exist because of the same incident, but I'll withhold judgment on that.

    Life is suffering to an extent, but its pretty great too, smoking a joint and laughing a real laugh with your friends are proof of god if anything is. Smiles make life worth dying for.

    Nothing.

    But his followers have done a lot to make my life a lot worse.
    By both personal bigotry/assault including physical assault in Jesus' name and by assaults on women's rights (although Jesus never mentioned birth control), gay rights, even the environment, in Jesus' name.

    I completely forgot I posted this. But...

    People are responsible for their own suffering. Not god. With as 'imperfect' and let that be illuminated, as we are. We trip and fall because of this. We don't have the answers. WE THINK WE DO. But we don't. And all the while we do, we cause problems for ourselves when maybe we should be leaning on the one entity that does have the answers. We know who that is.

    If you need proof to what I'm saying. Look at our every weakening country and society. We don't have the answers.

    I thought about it and concluded that your statement is ridiculous.
