Was looking at the summary of this book by Stewart O' Nan titled A PRAYER FOR THE DYING. In the marketing, FIGHT CLUB author Chuck Palahniuk is quoted as saying the book is proof that God is unfair. I'd sure like to know how a fiction book proves anything. Stewart O' Nan may have been writing about someone he knew, but that's the problem with second hand information. People hear little snippets of The Bible and get these ideas that aren't even Biblical.
If you don't believe The Bible was written by an existing presence, then you have no reason to question it. I tried telling a friend on Facebook this and he defended his stance by talking about how Christianity and its offshoot religions are the main reason for large amounts of violence in the world. One could say that, but what about the people who go speeding down the freeway and end up running into another car and kill at least one person? Where does religion play into that? Jealous husbands and wives murdering their spouse? That's the least of all violence by the way. Death is not the end. The horror of this planet is seldom seen outside of shows like CRIMINAL MINDS. A person who is not only murdered, but severely tortured with the threat of death to top if off is a much bigger victim than someone who is beheaded or gunned to death.
Jesus gave a perfect recipe for peace on Earth. If people would follow it, we'd have Heaven already. We should all be glad that we all have the option of choosing Heaven instead of questioning the reality of the supernatural and weather or not God is just in his decisions and all these tiny distractions that lead nowhere.
