here's what i don't get. if a baby dies when it's one day old (or a still born, or a miscarriage, or aborted), then everybody says it'll go straight to heaven.

but then if i ask why we can't ALL just go straight to heaven,,, like,,, why do we have to come to earth first, then people give tired, old duality answers. like,, "you can't know warmth until you've felt coldness", and stuff like that, implying that heaven won't be QUITE AS GOOD unless you've felt a little pain first.

so my question is, by that logic, are these babies going to be able to enjoy heaven even though they don't know what pain and suffering is?

if the answer is YES, then my other question remains: why can't we ALL just go straight to heaven??

if then answer is NO, then i have to ask, why does god allow such young babies to die then? and why does he bother taking them to heaven if it's not going to be pleasurable to them??

hmm, sigh, something tells me i'm gonna get a lot of answer that totally miss the point.

Seriously. We are born to die the minute we are concieved. We can die at anytime. There is no guarantee when. We can die walking outside, riding in a car or by simply staying at home watching TV. If this is so then why do people try to get rich? Why do we yearn for the best things...?

Why are you atheists even here? You say you don't believe in God, then why are you in the religion/spirituality section? First of all, atheist is not a religion because in order for it to be a religion it has to be about faith. You don't have faith that there is a god therefore it can't be a religion. And second of all, it has nothing to do with spirituality either because God is a spirit and you don't believe in God so you can't possibly believe in spirituality and if you do you are just contradicting yourself. So, why are you here?

I'm looking for information regarding Catholic orphan homes that were in existence in St. Louis, MO at the turn of the 20th century. I'm looking for names of the homes, addresses, etc. At that time, orphan homes were either for girls or boys. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

Zechariah 12:10 say's And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of GRACE and supplication. They will look on me, the one who they pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child.

Who is speaking here?

Think of innocent babies dying of cancer,malaria etc. Thousands of daily accidents to children, indiscriminate destrucion and death from volcanos, tsunamis etc.

The Christians will probably say it is God punishng us for our original sin! What? Punishing us for 180,000 years...? What kind of monster are you describing? And was not Christ supposed to have paid with his life for that? Nailed alive on a cross. What an incredibly cruel way to treat one's son!

I do not know the Muslim explanation and I would like to have their views Also those of other religions. They cannot be as illogical as the Christian ones, but one never knows.

It's not just the rims. It's the amount of gold in their mouth, how degrading they can be to women, and how much they spend on their cars/SUVs as opposed to where they live. This is not directed to only A-A, but also any group of males who imitate them in the same ways.

He wrote "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time," and "The Heart of Christianity." He presents a way of reading The Bible (and being Christian) that is based more on a connection to God than a literal reading of the Bible.

Curious if others have read his work, and what you think...
