It is a question for CHRISTIANS only. If you believe in other religion, could you please not to answer it?

I don't understand that why GOD lets some good people die tragically and some good people have pain / non curable diseases? If GOD loves us, why do we (Christians) have to suffer? I heard some people explain that it is to "Glorify" GOD. What is the logic (or reasons) behind it? I don't get it. :(

That gift is that he won't torture us for eternity if we can somehow manage not to piss him off?

Do religious people know how absurd that sounds?

Regarding this jesus character....
So jesus is a Demi-god. He is a god in human form. He also never sinned in his life. (Though some of you christians say he was human so he wasn't perfect and therefore could have sinned.)
So how exactly could a demi-god who could raise the dead, walk on water, cure lepers, etc. be tortured to death so easily? Why is it that the Roman soliders had such an easy time killing him? I'm not talking about him resisting. That would go against character, I'm saying that a Demi-god who could not commit sin, WOULDN'T be a human and therefore most likely wouldn't be tortured like a human.
Why didn't honey and gold flow out of his wounds?
Why did he feel any pain?
He could cure illness but not his own wounds?
I know the answer I'll get: 'you're just like the people who told him he should use his powers to get off the cross'. Well, why wouldn't he use his powers? He's a Demi-god his entire life and then decides to die like a pig in the end?
ZERO LOGIC.

we are taking like 5 to 8 pop-up tents and lineing them up in the street. then we take garbage bags and cutting one side to open them up all the way, then hagging them. we also string lights on the ceiling. oh I forgot we use twine, so we can hang the garbage bags, the lights and the props from, but you have to remember there are a lot of little kids in our subdivision that get extremely scared...

so could you help?

According to archaelogists like Jonathan Gray, this may very well be the case, as there is evidence to point to this. Did you know boats have been discovered in the most unlikely places around the world? Africa, Russia, the middle east, these ancient vessels carried the naysayers and skeptics who would be the atheists of today. However, they were proven wrong when they saw what would have been skyscraper high waves closing in on them.

If a man who changed to a woman, who is now living with a woman, and considers herself a lesbian. Is it really a sin, because she is really a man acording to the Gender that God gave her? So she is really with a woman, which is not really a lesbian situation.
I just find them to be extremely confused due to past life kamra and attachments to the bodily conseption of life. We are not these material bodies or genders. BUt we should act acoridng to the body we are given. Otherwise we are going against the laws of material nature and this causes one more suffering. (acording to the Vedic viewpoint.

Are they supposed to?
I'm talking about the 'big picture'. I've noticed that you've been sifting the wheat from the chaff and collecting the kernels of truth, insight, and wisdom. (haven't you?) You've been piecing a puzzle together; assembling a private worldview of all that is. Is it whole yet? Will it ever be? Do you have pieces that don't seem to fit, yet you hang on to them for other reasons? Why? Are they dependent on pieces you haven't aquired yet? What pieces haven't you found? The meaning of your name? The meaning of an unresolved chapter of your life? Something else? Do you have any idea of what the big picture will look like when it's complete, or are you hoping it will occur to you as you piece it together? Will it happen in your lifetime?
Can you force the pieces into place? If they fall into place naturally and something clicks, what then? What does the big picture look like ?
If you feel the slightest impulse to answer, then this question is intended for you.

The way I understand it, John the baptiser, preached omission of sins through repentance. If I am wrong, please correct me. However, when a christian tries to evangelize a Jewish person this isn't mentioned. Instead, christians maintain that omission of sin was only ever attained by the shedding of blood, which is odd, because the temple was standing during the life of John. Did he preach heresy? (hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, the implications?) With no temple, Jews believe omission of sin can be had by repentence, prayer and good deeds. How is the doctrine of John the baptiser different or similar to the modern rabbinic understanding of omission of sin?

I can't for the life of my understand how you can all claim to be followers of this mythology, yet you never question any of it. By questioning the logic behind it, wouldn't that make your understanding of it that much better?
That being said: "Bible (written by Yahweh, right?) 'predicts' a Messiah who will die (according to apologetics). Yahweh sends his 'son' jesus as a human sacrifice.
If that's the case, then Jesus is not a volunteer, he is a pawn. He has no choice in the matter. Yahweh decided to send him to earth, knowing full well (being omniscient after all) that he was going to be tortured to death.

And by the way, are these the words of a volunteer:

"Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani? ("My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

To be honest, i must say i never managed to get past page 223 (the number still haunts me to this day), also, it is the most boring thing i ever tried to read and i mean it when i say i dont blame anyone for not reading it (it is very very boring). Still, i'm willing to give it another shot, does anyone have a trick not to fall imediatly asleep while reading it? Any friendly advice? things to pay attention while reading it?

And also, what are your thoughts on the book? Did you like it? Were you amused by all the things Darwing got wrong? (some of them seem pretty funny when we see it nowadays) and about all the things he got right?

People are always asking Christians here on R&S if they have ever read the Bible front to back (i'm also still working on that, but it isn't nearly as boring, even the genealogies), still don't feel like this question is to even things out. Far from it i'd also like to have coments from people who don't like or accept evolution.
