In light of recent events, I was, as I am sure you were, not best pleased, but for some reason I'm not surprised, I'm not about to preach to you about anything - just read what you want, and thanks.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. We cannot go back in time and change things, and nor should we, but something like a war, or a terrorist attack - you have to take something out of it - a positive, and not only hope that nothing of the sort happens again, but actually make it happen. Sounds simple, sorry if you find what I'm saying irritating, boring, but I have to say it.
Life is the most important aspect of, oh wait 'life'. Life is something that you'll only have one go at, and I hope you live your life to the full, and enjoy what you do in it, it's one massive experience, and nobody knows what happens after it (other than you die, maybe there's a heaven, maybe not, I am not religious, but I believe in life) so I ask you to realise that what you have is almost incomprehendable. The world is OUR oyster, let's not abuse it...
Anyway, what has happened in the USA is the spawn of something mallicious, evil and disrespectful of life, causing many to be lost - just like that - I'm not asking you to live your life as if each day's your last, but I am trying to open up your eyes and appreciate what we have, everyone of us.
Don't let that arguement commence, don't aggrevate someone uneccessarily - don't make their lives a nightmare, help someone. Encourage someone that maybe you don't usually get on with, just be the best person you can.
Murder, crime, bullying - terrorism.
These words describe the wrong doings of individuals, groups of people, and they do not belong in life.
Respect yourself, respect others and respect life - it's precious.
How anyone can do something that ends someone else's life - it's beyond me. I'm choking up, I'm just gonna let you discuss.
My condolences to everyone assocciated, families that will have to get through the recent events, and my heart goes out to them. Thank you for reading, I'm sure you have a say, let's live in the hope that the world not only takes notice of what has happened, but takes action too.

Good RBS...pray to him, ask him for something. He will reply, but perhaps not in the way you'd expect...
Hold onto it though RBS. I got that feeling as well one night last December, and look at me now.
If you want to talk, I'm always here. As is The Game.

But that wasn't about God. It was to do with the history of these 2 races of people. In my opinion, that was nothing to do with God. Most of those people involved weren't religious anyway...
Ant: Before I know I denied the existence of God. But today's events have changed my veiws. It's funny but this event has completely changed me. At this moment in time I KNOW God exists. Whether I'll still feel like this tomorrow, I don't know, but right now, I know he's up there and I believe in him, for the first time ever in my life."

Hold on to that mate... God can do more for you than you could ever imagine. He loves you! You owe it to yourself to read at least one gospel! I'm not putting any pressure on you, but God, like you, has a VERY, VERY, VERY big passion for life, people and living things!

Damn right. I mean, look at us now, trying to keep the whole world in order. We fail. Without God, I can't imagine what the world would be like...
But then again, some people will blame this on religion. Look, sorry, I'm talking crap...too confused.
This morning I was planning to write a topic on LIfe forum about how I feel my life is the same thing everyday...I felt depressed.
But...that's nothing compared to this. Nothing.
