Religion/god/allah. All a big con. Bigger than the Nigerian scam. Created by very clever man back in the day to frighten and to make man behave. My mum used to scare me to go to bed and she would do this by saying dragons will come and take me away and it bloody worked, I used to shit myself and be on my best behaviour to keep the dragons away. That was when I was about 5, I have since grown up and I'd like to think grown wiser. There is NOTHING on earth that can convince me there is a god.

Most of religion is indeed a con but that’s no excuse for assuming that any of these con artists represent God and therefore there is no God!

Be very careful there with childish assumptions!

I told you people many times on this forum… don’t ever use Man’s woes to judge God.

...God gave us the power of Love, to act accordingly. Even Hate has its place, but it is not against each other, that is our choice.

One that keeps his promise of a non-interference period so that we may see how useless we are... and how right he is!

Here is a .....perfectly logical explanation as to why God created mosquitoes , from a Religious site. Its not just laughable but absurdly stupid.

" First, our original parents, Adam and Eve, were not bothered by disease until they disobeyed God. Because of that disobedience, the human family became weak and vulnerable to diseases—and even death (Romans 5:12; 6:23). In the beginning, the Lord did not intend for any of us who have been made in his image to be hurt by his animal creatures, but this is the price we pay for not following the Creator’s instructions. Every mosquito bite ought to be a reminder to obey God."

So next time you have a visit by a mosquito get down on your knees and ...praise the Lord.

It was not without some justification that Saddam Hussein branded America the 'Great Satan' and the Yanks duly obliged in confirming his assessment of the nation when they attacked Iraq.

Since then, (as predicted by Saddam when he envisaged the beginning of "The Mother of ALL battles") there has been naught but turmoil across so many regions of the world, particularly in the Middle Eastern and surrounding areas.

One could easily compare the forces now battling against each other as the 'Biblical' references to 'Good versus Evil' and, such is the state of the world at present, it is hardly surprising that there are so many who cannot determine the difference twixt one force and the other.

Therefore, it is necessary to sift through events which took place BEFORE the unlawful and murderous assault upon Iraq in order to arrive at an acceptable explanation for that which is taking place NOW.

The 'Almighty' endowed Mankind with the gift of 'Reason', Mankind took note of it's position and (in accordance with the gift) developed it's various social and cultural frameworks in accordance with their 'Beliefs' and ventured forth.

History is littered with examples of where Mankind committed atrocities (one society against the other) BUT, not until the aftermath of the assault upon Iraq has the world been plunged into the turmoil it is now in AND, unless one is prepared to accept that the 'Great Satan' can do (and has done) no wrong, one will NEVER understand that there are those who have 'HAD ENOUGH' of the bullying they are expected to tolerate.

Hence, the birth of IS and so many other small forces of resistance, hence the 'Atrocities' which attend BOTH sides of the conflicts which ALL stem from the same source..........'Mankind' has neglected and forgotten the original 'Gift' of 'Reason', preferring instead to follow the pathway to 'Hell' which is being carved out of the 'Biblical Rock' which is the foundation of the requirements of the 'Almighty', by a nation (and it's allies) who foolishly believe that THEY are 'Mightier than the Almighty'.., Time will tell.., (imho)

What, may I ask, has the above to do with mosquitoes !!

Technically, it doesn’t matter what horrible things exist on this planet be they animals, insects, earthquakes, or diseases, because our time here is intentionally limited and full of challenges to serve one and only purpose… judgment day for the afterlife! Everything on planet Earth is designed to test us in multiple ways for a good reason.

The suffering everyone complains about now is very temporary and insignificant compared to the ETERNAL suffering or reward that will come later.

You that so gleefully accept ANY atrocity committed by your mentors (The Yanks &Co) are in a very sound position to appreciate what the connection might be BUT, since it is not available in the newspapers (therefore beyond your comprehension) perhaps I might be able to put you in the picture somewhat.

Imagine the mighty belligerent forces of the American 'War Machine' in full cry against the far lesser forces of their intended victims, in many cases innocent civilians that are completely defenceless (a condition which suits them admirably) but surprisingly have the 'Courage' to retaliate, then one could quite easily consider the 'Lesser Force' to be likened to a 'Mosquito' (although I personally prefer to think of them as 'Hornets') and, even though they are greatly outnumbered and militarily outgunned in every confrontation, STILL they have proven themselves capable of 'Stinging the Arse' of their antagonists.

NOW, I am well aware of YOUR views on the subject BUT, I am a little more inclined toward recognizing a bit of credibility among those who are NOT intimidated by superior forces arrayed against them and, much as some of the retaliatory actions committed by the 'Hornets' are horrendous, they are no less offensive (in MY view) than the actions of their enemies.

How does one differentiate twixt one atrocity and another ?, the end result is the same and countless innocents suffer accordingly.

If you are able to comprehend the similarities that is.

So touching to see that the people of various branches of the book finally are uniting.
