Yes. Aside from monotheistism, Abrahamic descent and a similar sexual ethos, we are quite different.

I was referring to the cruelty you ascribe to God - you and the Islamists - the desire for vengence and death and everlasting hell. You seem more similiar in that respect than different to me. You are not as barbaric, I'm sure, as the Islamists - but the error is the same. You believe, don't you, in vengence and killing for God?

That should be Heaven enough for anyone but for those who lack the Grace to see it...

How so, by denying the pain and suffering of billions? I would say that those who find heaven by denying or enjoying the incredible suffering of billions - have not found heaven - they have found sadism.

No. "Vengeance is mine," sayeth the Lord.

I do not deny pain and suffering. They are part of reality too. Part, not all. We are meant to bear suffering gracefully. Much suffering would disappear if we simply followed the Ten Commandments. If people practiced self-restraint, we wouldn't have to worry about STD's or abortion etc. More suffering has been caused by those who want Heaven on Earth than by those who believe in the God who will Juge All.
