Is it really so?
Really, do the religious people think that every death is God's choice and God's wish?

I doubt they do.

Because if they do there will be no logic in blaming Hitler or the Zionists or anyone else for all the murders. Those people were gonna be murdered anyway because God wished so.
Oh but you know they are going to say that God could have prevented it.

Explain to me how it's possible that god is not responsible for someone's death? He created man, yes? And since he knows all, he knew man in 2009 in let's say Western Europe would have an average lifespan of 78 or whatever it is. Now, he's all powerful, so he could just as well have created men who live forever. But he didn't. So there's no way to twist theology without the conclusion staring you in the face that he will make you die.

If anything, Hitler and any killer works for god, expediting the process that would otherwise happen anyway.

True.
I really wanna hear what the believers think about this.

Hey, you probably said this to a believer already. What did he/she answer?

They'd say its part of the divine plan. Muslims would tell you that life is finite and is a test... if you pass then heaven is where you go... if you don't.. then hell is your home.

I'm gonna say this: before I undeniably believed in God, and prayed to him for Juve, good marks and stuff like that (don't ask :lol: now the current me things that me was childish and naive)... this forum made me an agnostic.

This forum made you a fence-sitter without courage of conviction :agree:

If you believe in God then you probably believe in an afterlife. You don't believe that our death in this life is permanent. When we actually die, our bodies are eternally dead but we will live on. That is, of course, on the theistic perspective.

If you are religious; God isn't really a sadistic 'asshole', is he?
