Maybe the young man had come in the store to buy the video, and he
didn't want a godless infidel to get it.
Maybe Allah made the shooter do it?
Maybe Allah is more powerful than Yoohoover? In spite of all the prayers of
the faithful, Yoohoover can't seem to prevent the followers of Allah from
doing whatever they please to the followers of Yoohoover?
Maybe there is no Allah, nor God? Maybe there ain't nobody here but us
chickens? Reasonable presumption, eh?

It's not "like" ... it *is*.

Folks quoting Einstein out of context about religion is of no value. For
those who wonder why God has incarnated us in these clay shells, it's all
very simple.
In the First Earth Age God was faced with a rebellion of about 1/3 of the
Heavenly Host., led by his number 2 angel, Satan.
God ended that age in destruction, cast Satan out of Heaven, and decried
that every member of the Heavenly Host would have to be born of Woman 1
time. (Sorry this version does not include the re-incarnation theory). With
this scheme Man gets one life time, and is presented with all kinds of
opportunities as well as horrible obstacles while he lives out his alloted
"3 score and 10". Based upon the actions of the incarnated Host, judgement
is rendered in which the obedient actors are given a seat at God's table,
while the rebellious may run with their mentor, Satan. The few years that we
have on this Earth are as nothing compared with the age of the Universe, and
Life everlasting.
Oh yes, a word for those who are skeptics; this doctrine has no "down side",
because if Nihilism is all there is, then you have lost nothing anyway. If
this explanation be true, then look at all the fun that lies ahead!

If I were God, and omnipotent and omniscient as God is alleged to be, then
without doubt I should have forseen this problem, and created every one of
the heavenly host without a rebellious bone in their bodies, wouldn't you?
Or do you always build bugs into your systems?

So simple that even you should be able to understand it. That you
can't is sad.

I've never seen that particular version of Pascal's Wager. But it's
just as flawed as any version I have seen.

Yeah, moslems have been known for their religious fanaticism with
regards to videos and dvds. Hence all the suicide bombings on video
stores and the two planes that crashed into the DVD factory several
years ago.

Maybe it had nothing to do with religion. Maybe the soldier was shot because he
is a soldier squatting in a foreign land illegally after a war based on lies
(wmd) to steal oil?

Isn't that true for most of those currently occupying the North
American continent?
