You said maybe we don't know. No one else did.

You said that too, no one else did. I'd say that the world was very
irregular.

Why? Why not die for the joy of it, it might be the biggest thrill of all.
In any event it doesn't matter if everything is an accident good, evil, it
is all moot.
I believe in God and in good and evil. Not to do so is a bitter thing when
carried to its conclusion. It is a leap of faith that makes life valuable
and gives reason to existence. That faith is a reinforcement to do good and
not evil.
To accuse all those that believe in God of being the cause of evil such as
terrorism is pure nonsense. It is like saying that those that believe in
electricity are the cause for war.
Many are afraid to say that they believe now days. That is why it is even
more important for it to be said.
