Why are you so sensitive?
Once I grasped that concept, and it wasn't easy, and I put up quite an argument, but eventually I believed it, and once I grasped that concept, then the notion of evil seemed hard to understand. What is evil? It isn't anything. Suffering is intentional. People that rape and murder and take advantage of others are just fulfilling that role to live that experience, take those consequences, understand those emotions, including regret and remorse. The ones victimized are getting the flipside of the same emotion. It isn't evil, it just is what it is. An experience.

So, NOTurTypical, what are your views on picking your own mission in this life before you even arrive here?
Being nice to strangers in today's world will get you nowhere. If you want to get ahead, if you want to really get yourself close to the top... you've got to reach out and take it and screw those in your way.
He just happens to be the make-believe invisible guy who's morals and values most closely match my own.

I do not call myself a Christian, nor do I want to be roped into the same group as the many mainstream Christians. The word for me has been tarnished by the actions of a few that were far from what a Christian should be.
Notice the scripture being tossed around and paraphrased using popular interpritation. Modern Christians seem to go with the simplest explanation for each part of the bible, while ignoring the fact that the book should work as a whole to be more than just a collection of single passages. The word of God is complicated.
BTW, I couldn't help but notice your comment about the Satanists. Did you ever talk to your sister or any of them yourself to try and get a full grasp on why Satan was so real for them? Have you ever done any research on the spiritual realm?

That's an odd stance to take considering Christ warned beforehand there would be wolves masquerading as sheep.

Not sure what you're asking me. I think we are formed by God in our mother's womb. I don't believe we are pre-existent entities.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. ”

I consider that a direct warning to the modern Christians with evil in their hearts. It's a clear and direct warning that pops out at you, like any warning should. Amazing how many people ignore it. Just like all the other warning labels in life right?

Back up 1 verse to 27, man was created and placed in the garden before He said that. And in Jeremiah God says that He forms us in our mother's wombs. Christ came from above, not sons of Adam.
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
