To explain your first point, I use the bible. The devil said he could run this world better than GOd. *a challange* Even a third of the angels left heaven believing this to be true. Now you might think, why didn't God just zap him. Well if he did, Then the other angels might think the devil was right. So God let him live. TO show the consequences of sin. To show why he disallows sin. TO show the rest of the angels that If he bent his rules things would be messed up. Now then, if God comes and interfers with this thing right now, they won't see the conclusion. THe conclusion where the world ends up completly evil and bad.

Oh, what would be the point of making it right? To go/do what? If you do make it right, then what. Be a shining example. Sounds crappy

As for that point about abused kids being abusers. I get what you meant. You meant, maybe they're getting what comes around goes around. How would that teach them to be good. That would just make thier soul more evil. RESENTFUL ANd who would control this process. A God maybe. But why wouldn't this God just destroy the soul that didn't work. Your evil, zap!!! ANd what about increasing population. Original population was like 2 ppl. So where did new souls stop being made. In this theory, IF were all just someone else. theres 6 billion ppl. The past doesn't hold 6 billion ppl.

Now you say you should be good to your fellow man, why?

As for praying, if it was praying to myself, why do miracles happen. WHy do some ppl get cured. Prayer has caused alot of things for me.

As for us being our own God. I say this, someone gots to control all this madness. Even in your theories, there would have to be a higher power. Even your belief in a Karm system requires one. SO with that being said, now one has to see what kind of God this is. That's where christianity comes to play. * I know christianity isn't perfect* But its a start. Christianity explains much with proven facts outside the bible. By the way my church don't hate homosexuals. We believe they are people like you and I. THey need to be saved too.

I forgot deja vu. How can one base stuff on a slight feeling one gets. If i felt I typed this comment before, then does that mean A "former" me did. BUt how could a former thing type on DD. THere was no DD back then

I posted that so the ppl can see what I typed.
ANyways, I hope your happy with the path you end up taking. That is all
