Is there a god? What is the meaning of life?

Oh oh. I can see the "yes there is" and "no there's not" crowd now.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

God is non judgemental and does not do things to hurt people. If your religion teaches that god does these things then your religion is wrong. The problem with religion is that it is made by humans and humans are so very much judgemental that it's teaching don't always follow the truth.

Mechanics of the earth are just that mechanics of earth...not because we make poor choices. Only humans hurt humans (and the odd animal).

Except that there is no such thing as "god". It amazes me that people are still that superstitious. Lack of intellect? Brainwashing?

Well, then I guess I will burn in the eternal fires of hell. I am not in the least bit worried.

Are we any closer to the answer to why God made the Earth quake in Japan?

Not necessarly...you might have to come back again and relive a life.

Or you will just nourish the earth and push up daisies.

Or come back as one of Queenie's cats!
