Thats a great question if you believe in a literal heaven and hell!
I dont.
Thats why I believe in God.
I cant see how some people believe in God an believe all that dotishness.

God dont make mistakes.

God is love! Daiz all I know fuh sure!

Pain come before a child is born.

Pain is necesary

If you dont feel pain, you would put your hand in hot fire and dont feel it causing yuh hand to bun out with you not even knowing it.

Is that good?

The lesson here is that suffering brings awareness so that you could take corrective action.

When you understand that you understand why pain and suffering is good.

It also builds character.

But you will only appreciate this when you know you are a deathless soul. Time is but an illusion.

You are an expression of God knowing Himself.

The One remains
The many change and pass
Heaven's light forever shines
earth's shadows fly.

Change and decay in all around I see
Oh Thou who changest not
Abide with me

now we are dealing with a god who condones the use of war in his name. Maybe that answers my questions right off the bat.

but I figure one of the things done in the name of jesus, the klu klux klan maybe, must be rubbing god the wrong way. I hope.

so why no huge sign that "these things are not what I want?" from god.

Imagine if someone was commiting attrocities in your name? wouldnt you want to set the record strait? both to clear your name, and also to draw more people towards you? since if people are not drawn towards you, you let satan drag them to hell?
