Thanks for posting this. I am very troubled by the “just put your faith in God” sentiment. It reminds me of the man and the flood story. It is an easy cop out to put your faith in God and then when John McCain wins and election the answer is “it is God’s will”. Balderdash. If many spent the time and energy organizing and working to get this country back on track that they do “praying” we would not be in the mess we are in. Leaving it to God is a cop out plain and simple.

Flame on.

Won't get a flame from me. You are absolutely correct. It does nothing except to provide an excuse for events which are in man's control. Floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, God's department.

Perhaps if people decided to live for this life rather than gamble on the possibility of a next life, we would all be better off. You want to live your life for Heaven, go cloister yourself.

No flaming here. Totally agreed.
