I wish I lived my life in another era of this earth.

But I also want to see an earthly trial and punishment for them, like the Nazis had faced during Nuremberg. I want all the earthly things they touched and destroyed to be restored and rejuvinated.

I know a lot of people say "God wins" but to me this feels more like a happy-talk slogan or propaganda. I think the values of good are losing the war and if anything it appears to be growing in intensity every day. If I saw this "good" manifest materially I'll be inclined to have more faith in it.

A lot of us are single and chronically longing for that kind of relationship. That's why I struggle or can't accept that there is no marriage or equivalent kind of relationship in Heaven. Imagine naturally being made to want something for a chronically long time and yet being unable to obtain...

Yeah, I see that arbitrariness in that. It's a little crude, but the point is at least they have that reward in the afterlife where it wasn't in their original life. In fact, I read about a theory that it arose because it reflected the time when the Islamic civilization was very polygamous and...

No, but there are some single people that long to be partnered. Is that wrong?

I'm not arguing if it is or not, I'm just observing what I read and hear.

As someone who isn't a Muslim but can kind of sympathize with there being virgins or sexual relationships in the hereafter or next life, I think some people actually make fun of Islam for teaching the concept that there is enjoyment of sex in Heaven. I think it is nonsense and kind of...

I understand and feel the same frustration about it being like a bait that is set in front of you that you long for and chase, but at the last moment is taken away from you for eternity. And meanwhile God also let sinful man (the agents of Satan) cause the conditions in this world that makes it...

That was kind of the point I was getting at with my above post. I still haven't gotten completely over it by the way, and maybe never will during this lifetime. It's one thing to have something you so desire to be delayed but eventually complete it. It's different if it ends up being "too late"...

I am familiar with that passage. It still doesn't cure the frustration. All I can say for right now is that I am not alone but it is a more "suffering in silence" kind of thing as there isn't much helpful social dialog about it.

It's not fair that God lets the destruction of the family happen. @Jamdoc @timewerx

But humans aren't always bad. I actually like that humans got to go on adventures, find new lands, rule them in their own image, etc.

Even man's earthly system of justice is on paper more fair than God's version. At least it says the bad guys are supposed to be delivered quickly. Meanwhile, God asks to be patient, even until after your dead, and it doesn't matter anymore anyway. So it is moot.

I don't believe there is justice or that it is all an illusion anyway. Someday it will be just moot.

Who are you asking me to forgive here? I can forgive while still acknowledging the unfairness of it all.

I know that people will say that God has given man free choice to choose him or against him and that's why things are so, but I am still frustrated over the whole thing. God may say in the Bible that he is objectively just and all-benevolent, but sometimes life is cold or unjust. People live...

I hope the Oklahoman people never forget this tragedy and put pressure and never let up for years from now.

Conservatives have fallen asleep at the wheel for the last decades while the left walked into all the institutions (including the church and military) and now today the left and postmodernism is pervasive everywhere and it seems too far gone, and conservatives and Christians have to tolerate it...

According to most Christians, is finding someone attractive in itself a sin? I know that lust is commonly a sin (often defined as very strong sexual desire), Jesus says that marriage and sex will be absent and not redeemed in Heaven, and there won't be any more reproduction (Matthew 22:30), that...
