Well said Paul; I’m combing through the comments in search of the believers who will admit, since heaven is the place of perfection, no pain, to be in the presence of “Our Lord”….why don’t believers embrace sickness and death? Why not when diagnosed with fatal illness celebrate being united with their maker? Why do believers pray for healing?

I just wanted to reiterate: the release of burden of trying to make heads and tails of so much of the man made religious nonsense held together by fear or punishment, is extremely liberating. It ironically is a “peace that surpasses all understanding.” Until they are willing to truly research, study, understand and question —it’s all held together by fear. What a shame indeed….and quite sad.
