Men suffer by the hands of men. It is not because God wills it. Jesus was hated and so are his believers. Bin Laden for example even says "holy war". God gave us choice, free will! So don't blame the name of Jesus. Blame the people who are using their free will to harm humanity instead of helping it!

You got this right. Men create wars, men make bombs, men do a lot of crimes against everyone and then they like to blame God. They use their free will for destructive purposes, instead of the love that Jesus wanted them to use it for.

Absolutely, I would agree. But I would like to add a little something. Men suffer by the hands of men, and as Blaise Pascal said, "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." And this is the main cause of all human-killing-human warring happening at this very moment.... So I choose to use my free will to help humanity. And all this happening, no, God,dess doesn't will it; she weeps, and this tugs at me to try to do as much goodwill as I can, because if I can make someone smile, they will most likely do the same later; making this world worth living in does not require guns and war; it requires a big discussion. We'll have that after we kill ourselves off this planet again. It is imminent; look at all the natural disasters happening right now. Mother Earth cannot absorb all this negativity and hatred without releasing it somehow. We are being warned, but yet we still fight over whose God is the true God. And we have done this before, many times. So readers, pray for peace, put those energies out there- the collective unconscious is turbulent right now, and it will only get worse if we don't start praying and striving for peace. Bertrand Russel said, "The only way mankind will redeem itself is through cooperation." We need to stop fighting about God and realize that S,he is everywhere, and inside us all, trying to make things as they should be. Religious hatred does nothing to help humanity.
Blessed Be.

Very well said.
This is true in the case of the Crusades as well as modern day Islamic extremist terrorists.
They are Christians and Muslims by name only. They are not true religious followers or they would not do such things.

Agreed. Religion can be a scapegoat for personal agendas

I agree. We are born evil, and by God's grace we can choose to love

I completely agree with you. God does not punish us. We do evil and evil is done to us by man. Not GOD.
