Our world is an independent little playground. Some of us end up where God wants us; others don't. It does not diminish God, it does not change what He planned -- which is to have mankind in Paradise. Not necessarily you, or me, but mankind. And our free will does not change the fact that He shall have mankind in paradise, with or without you or me.

So, in your world God says, "win some, lose some". Even worse, you say that God doesn't particularly care which of us goes to heaven, He just knows that some of us will and that's good enough for Him. That sounds like a pretty weak God to me.

Regarding the rest of your post, my mouth is open and I am almost speechless. You are making the same accusations against us that you made 2000 posts ago. I truly regret that you do not appear to have learned anything new about our side's beliefs. I feel truly blessed that I have learned so much about your beliefs and those of Roman Catholics. While I maintain strong and honest disagreement with you all, I have been able to throw away many stereotypes that I have heard before about you. I am sorry that it has not gone both ways.

No, not particularly, He doesn't care for some. He cares for all. Sun shines on all, equally. But if some choose to shut their eyes or hide from it, the Sun will not force their eyes open or pull them out of their dark hiding places! They all know the Sun is out there, whether they like it or not. It's their choice to be in its light or to shun away from it.
