Thanks, I appreciate that.
People can throw their lives away for a myth, that's their "God-given" right, I agree. But it's a shame because we only get one life in this current octillion years cycle of the Big Bang. One it's over that's it--you're gone forever. Might as well get some enjoyment out of it while you're here. To get philosophical for a minute, the poor kids who still-birth or die before they are five of disease, famine, natural disaster or abuse are the collateral damage of a universal system that doesn't give a damn about us. We're specks on a globe that is a speck in a galaxy that is a speck in a universe. To think that a God who created the universe can actually love a speck of a speck of a speck is so ludicrous it'd be a gut-buster if billions of people didn't actually believe such preposterous nonsense.
