terrorist again....

sigh...
another bomb, more innocent dead.... Once again this is a constant reminder that the nightmare that begins from september 11 have not ended and might never will.

When will this end??? I wonder what is happening in those terrorist's mind. Mislead beliefs or pure evil? Nevertheless they must be evil at heart in the first place to be mislead by a senseless faith that is so unoxthrodox, that urges them to do evil, to take innocent lives, to impose their own beliefs onto others, all in the false name of their God.

So much destruction, i sometimes wonder if religion is really relevant in today's world. Looking back at history, religion has directly caused many wars. The Christian Crusade during the Middle ages is one example. I wonder how many people were killed? Countless of people in the past were punished by death based on religious beliefs. I wondered if religion really bring peace to this world. Does God exist??? Is he relevant? I used to attend church, but with all these questions around me that goes unanswered, i find it hard to accept the faith. When i was in church, i saw many people subjected to blind faith as well. This is scary. They don't question what they believe, they don't evaluate if its relevant, they just follow, as thought whatever the pastor said, is the word of God himself. What if the pastor is a devil in disguised here to mislead us???

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," say Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't though of that" and promply vanishes in a puff of logic.

Well, I'm not saying that God doesn't exist, but there is the issue of faith versus logic. I think temperance and common sense is key to understanding the scriptures and the Word of God; pastors are human after all and indeed they are just as susceptible to the temptations of the devil as much as we are.
