Ohh this one will seriously blow your mind.
For any of you who thought the post below this was a mind bender, you will love this one.
God. Everyone thinks God is God. Plain and simple, yet it's not so clear cut is it?? He's God, he can do all things, everything, nothing is impossible for God. Nothing is wrong to God. He can do anything he wants because he is God right??? Let's not look at the fact that God puts people through agony, kills people daily, slaughters millions of people, and destroys entire lives. I mean of course its for the best for everyone to just have people dying.
If you are like me, you regard Adolf Hitler as a sick cynical man. I mean lets face it, he was responsible for the deaths of over 40 MILLION PEOPLE. Now lets see here, Adolf Hitler is responsible either directly or indirectly for the loss of unheard of numbers of lives and history regards him as a butcherer. Now for those of you who have not yet made the connection between God and Adolf Hitler, let me elaborate.
How is it that God can be a wonderful being when he was the first to invent genocide, he has killed billions throughout history, people suffer unendurable trials and tribulations under him daily, and who really wants to die all because someone else has complete and utter control over your every life. Kinda sounds dictatorial to me. Yet he is God and so we worship him for it!!! Who else has ever killed off the entire planet but one family?? Hitler never did that, but God did. No one else has created floods of epic proportions like that. Yet we credit Hitler with the idea of genocide, or the concept of the extinction of an entire race of people. Funny, seems like God was a bit more successful then Hitler was if you ask me.
Now some of you will probably be thinking, yes God does let people die, but its all a part of his greater master plan, and to that I will say, thats fantastic. So did Hitler. It was called the "Final Solution". His plan to eliminate all the Jews from the world. For what he thought was the greater good of society. Funny how that can be tied together.
Possibly the most mind boggling part of all though is the idea of free will. We are free to make any choice we want just so long as it matches the plan already in place for us. Wow, thats freedom to me. Make a choice thats already predetermined. The rest of this idea, it's up to you to think of it as you will. I just thought I would point out the connections I noticed.

Wow. Are you, by chance, a little angry with God?
I'm no stranger to being angry with God either, and I don't know (and never expect to find out) why people suffer so terribly and why God allows it to happen. But read Romans 8:17 - if you share in Christ's suffering, you will also share in His glory.
And remember, God allowed His son to die in what is arguably the most horrific and painful manner of execution known to the ancient world, for what we believe to be our best interests. Just thought I'd point that out.
would he have had that need to die in such a way had God not set things up to be that way??
hrm, never looked at it that way. Doesn't mean i'm changing my views on God, just means I'm going to find an answer now.
Well, if it helps at all, i'm Catholic and we dont believe in "destiny," we believe that God gave humans free will.
every experience you experience on earth is simply just a learning experience.
it's okay if bad things happen because it teaches you a lesson.
it's all just a learning experience for the soul.
