GOD WHO? WHY? WHERE?
DO we need another policeman or father as people call him/her/it.
Give me one reson why you need God, and it better be rational
and I will be converted. However, methinks that God is a figment
of peoples imagination who need an outside force to propel themselves
forward in life. Let God rest in peace for we donot need anyone
to come mess up our lives, jesus did enough to sow eternal
hatred among the Jews and the Christians, Allah pitted the muslims
against every one else and all those Gods in India.....
ONLY GOD CAN HELP........ (: *_* :)
