Do we know the hearts of people? God is the One who judges people and not us. Didn't Jesus condemn the Pharisees for being self-righteous and for slashing anyone who would disagree with their narrow views? I do not agree with everything Ahmadinijad does but at least he did not kill tens of thousands of people like George Bush did. I never saw that Ahmadinijad burned little children to death, however, I swear to My Lord I saw many Iraqi children buried alive or burned to death because of George Bush!

It is hard to describe to people the feeling of the hair on your arms and the back of your neck standing up and feeling like electricity running through you. You want to run but knowing that it is impossible. It is almost like your brain acted so fast in recognizing evil and your body is trying to play catch up...and losing. "..disbelief would be ungrateful and stupid..." Yes. Thank you, that is what I feel. I believe in God but I have no faith in religion. "Nuance and mystery." Wonderful way to put it. Perhaps with time I will change. I have always wondered why people want to deny the existence of real evil but will use the word casually for things that are far from evil. Thanks for the great post.
