> Given the proposition that people make their own gods in their own image(s), perhaps it is more appropriate to test the hypothesis. Does the belief in a loving and merciful god indicate a culture of acceptance and a justice founded on mercy? Does the belief in a perpetually angry and authoritarian god (or gods) indicate a culture that is xenophobic and a sense of law that is morally rigid and brittle?
Hmm that's interesting perspective, but would that matter? it could be any culture really, they have a lot of options, let's say you believe that god is mercyful, so maybe killing isn't a bad thing because god is mercyful anyways, so you will have good time in heaven or killing is a terrible thing because you are taking away, a adventure form a person. Options...

Would it help if I told you that the vampire in that scene happens to be named Mircalla?
Frankly, that one is not nearly one of their best movies like a long shot (it's not really worth watching), but Hammer is the company that made the careers of actors like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee (both of Star Wars fame).
If the lemurs aren't on board, the better. Those little dudes suck.

Thx but no, I don't want this lady's phone number...I don't like blondes...
on the other hand I didn't know that Tarkin and Dooku also played aristocrats in somes picturesque films about Romania
the Bible says we are saved by FAITH, not works. Read Romans 10:9 and see what part of that requires a good "environment". Good question though.

> It’s fair to you that children are born and then immediately starve to death? Even if you believe god sends them all to heaven, God chose to structure the universe this way instead of one where they don’t live a brief and torturous life before going to heaven. Pretty cruel if you ask me.

10,000 children per DAY die due to hunger. I’m sure those kids love their short and miserable existence. Thanks god, what a totally fair and just universe you’ve made, definitely not cruel at all.

Thats because other people dont help them.Its not God,We are responsible for that.
Do you believe that questioning God's nature is blasphemous, or is it a necessary part of faith? How do you reconcile the existence of suffering with the idea of a loving God? @xDoubledragon
I don't know wether I should get involved in this specific forum or not.
