Jesus (and his father) are man made perceptions of the "after-life" all religions are based out of fear and/ or the attempt to explain the unknown and/or an attempt to control massive groups of people. DO not be afraid and do not follow the masses. Be good to yourself and others - be accountable for your life in the now.

First of all, Catholicism has this doctrine that Jesus Christ is one with the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Being One means equally Divine, equally Powerful, and they all possess fullness of Perfection. It is indeed hard to understand how Three Beings act as One - and you don't need to understand it (as my Theology teacher would say) because the knowledge of God cannot be fathomed by the human mind.
Since They all possess fullness of perfection that means that They are all equal in judgment, mercy, knowledge etc... I couldnt go any further than this - explaining the things I learned in Theology is really taxing. (But my conclusion is simply headed at the direction that points to the fact that since Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are equal in their fullness in perfection their impeccable judgment and their full knowledge of everything (past present future and things that aren't part of the material world - things that are beyond our concept of TIME!) that means that they would simply decide on what is the best thing, and would do the same thing - and that is what is best for us! Because if the Son would decide on a matter differently from the Father that means that their fullness of perfection differs, and that would mean that either Jesus or the Father is more perfect than the other which is impossible! (This is quite confusing but I hope you understand it).
God gave Mary her own powers.... But my explanation in the previous paragraph was taxing so i won't elaborate on this part of the question.
Finally! We are not pawns, and the Father and Jesus Christ aren't chess players! We, as human beings, are rational and have freewill. (Unlike animals who act instinctively!). Thus everything that we do, we do with our own consent. Thousands of crimes are committed each day - millions of bad acts done! - as a consequence of our own choice - our own free will. That is the beauty of humanity, you have two choices to do good or bad. Our rationality would call us to do good, since we were born through God's goodness.....

OOOH DEAR!!!
Everything that happens is not meant to be. God create us and let us free,we deside for our lifes and everything in the universe is not controled from Him but He also let it free.
Our father-son and holy spirit is the same, is one -The Holy Trinity.
Mary's power is that she always keep an eye and take care of us.
God is always appearce when is necessary.We can't explain miricals.And it s not because we are to "small" but because we need to get closer to Him.
I am gonna tell you a story that happen to a friend.
He had a problem and he went to a holy man.He found him in his cell praying and call him.The man didn't answer.My friend got closer and tached him. When he saw his face he lost his voice.The holy man was shining.His face was shining. It was the light without matter(I don't know the right word).He told me that light was so clear he couldn't discribe it. I am sure that now you are thinking so what!!!Again I read and don't see anything.
Well my friend another exp.just thing the mirical of the begining the Big Bang!!!!
Just look inside you and you will find Him.
GOD IS EVERYWHERE
ALWAYS BELIEVE AND SEARCH
GOD BE ALWAYS WITH YOU

~Now, don't be blaming God for all our problems. He's a busy dude what with his sports schedule and all. I mean, not a game is played, professional, amateur, college or high school, from golf to football to soccer to synchronized swimming where some jock or coach doesn't say the performance or victory was with the help of God.
Now, I'm as concerned as the next guy about unjust wars, famine, poverty, AIDS, global warming, campus killers, cancer, the vanishing rain forest, natural disasters (like the winds, floods, rains, tsunamis, earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the other stuff like that which the bigot christian hypocrites credit god for bringing on) and all those other mundane little bumps in the road we hit now and then, but I know how ticked I get when somebody interrupts me during a Stanley Cup Playoff game, and I'm sure the big fella feels the same.
With all the teams and players he gotta look out for, some of the small stuff slides.
His kid can't help because, if I understand the mythology correctly, there is only one god and the kid and he are really the same entity, along with their other alter-ego, the holy ghost (not to be confused with the Galloping Ghost (whose career and university he/they took/take a particular interest in)).
Wow, if there is only one thing that manifests itself as so many entities, we're talking major schizophrenia here and a multiple personality disorder to boot. God help us all. Oops, we've already established that that ain't gonna happen, haven't we? Ah, well, PTL and pass me the remote.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three Divine Persons in the one God. No, God the Father is not playing chess with our lives .He has a loving plan for us after our resurrection.Mary has been given extraordinary powers to help us to get to heaven .

Jesus is the merciful one and His spirit is personally involved in our lives when we ask Him to be. As for God, I don't know what He is. He could be a flaming ball of energy, but I know He's done all he's going to do. Concentrate on the Holy Spirit because He is down here to help us. He won't help you win the lottery, but He will comfort you through sorrows and be with you when you feel alone. You have to ask though because He's no intruder.

Wow, just when I think that I have found the most simple person on this site, and then you ask a dumb question like this. No Mary does not have any power.She is a human woman. The Father , Son, and Holy Spirit are three in one, Just like you, oh correction, most people have a mind, a body and a spirit.

everything that happens has a purpose. each life in itself, carries with it the own point to it. what if the sole purpose of your life was the domino effect and this chain of events lead to the discovery of a cancer vaccine? the truth is no one can fully understand the full ramifications of your existence simply because our brains are limited by perspective and other factors which means we will never understand or look at objectively at all the data we need to know to answer this question.

Christianity is so distorted by corrupt old homosexual men that it will never be known! The pope saw to that when he ordered the murder of the Knights Templar and burned their grand master at the stake, does that sound like a loving religion to you!
God is not a personality!
Jesus is not divine!
Lies created to control!

Otherwise, y would these problems crop up atall?
