b/c to every good thing there's a bad thing.that's how life is.everybody has good times and bad times.life is to overcome the obstacles they throw at you and if you can't then you lose.but if you can get up on your feet and hold on there until the end you'll be alright

Things will go a lot easier for you when you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.  Concentrate on your own beliefs and others will will have their own journies to travel.

Yes, I feel we should reinterpret if it makes no sense.  This is not to say we should change the meaning in order to rationalize our behavior.  If our behavior doesn't agree with spiritual teachings, that's ok.  But we should accept that they are different, and not try to make them "match".\n\nI don't feel one has to view religion/spirituality with an "all or nothing" approach.  If I like 3 things about religion X, and 4 things about religion Y, it's ok for me to believe in both.  (I realize there are people who will disagree with me, but this is how I see it for myself.)

There is a perspective that I've adopted that allows me to put things in focus. Look at it this way; negativity exists to define the good and vice versa. \n\nThat reminds me of a "Six Feet Under" preview. In it, one of the characters asks, "Why do people have to die"? The other character responds, "To make life have worth". \n\nTo say that God allows some thing like rape, suggests that you have insight into how God works. Many people may feel, "as you believe, so it shall be". However, not one person on the planet could give you a confirmation on God and God's intentions. It's left to each individual's interpretation and belief.\n\nI understand where you are coming from, though. You're thinking, 'If God is so powerful, why doesn't God intervene'? I don't have a difinitve answer for that. But think of it this way; if God intervened all the time, how would any one learn any thing? \n\nOf course, it's not as if we're learning much as it is. However, most of us know better. We make our own decisions and whether we know it or not, our decisions affect every one around us.\n\nPeople get raped but also, some thing good happens. Not necessarily some thing equally and oppisite, though. However, down the line things will balance out.\n\nLife is full of in justices. You must know that, every thing moves in cycles and as the old saying goes, "what goes around, comes around". A rapist may not be punished today but one day his sins will be punished.

If the perspective is to have meaning all must take the good with the bad, which is in my opinion subjective to the individual. This format allows for serious and let's call it not so inspired questions and responses and doesn't discriminate between the positions. If one considers that there are an incredible number of variables inter playing; as you so aptly alluded to in your question it is fair to express that the less inspired frame the more focused which allows the message that fits to sparkle like a diamond washed up from the mud.I hope this has helped to explain my point, I apologize for the metaphor, habits are hard to break. My final thought on your excellent question is this, it is a gift that we can give ourselves when we refuse to let ourselves be offended by others; this is not to say we should tolerate abuse; but when we forgive those who would annoy us for their own reasons we liberate or rather free ourselves to explore other more productive thoughts. Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts, I hope all goes well in you life.

There's a lot of truth in that, pangel. There are conflicting views and beliefs regarding just about everything, but at some point, ideology and worship of some leader or another takes over and drowns out all reason. Most of the time, that ideology is religion.

I positively without any reservation or doubt support every aspect of your position that has been presented here even though it may be found in the future to be an allegorical reference to issues that simply are difficult to understand what with all the varying opinions that one can find and apply to all types of organized thinking processes which aid man in improving his overall understanding of how he fits into the scheme of things both physically and spiritually throughout life.

Ha!  I know just what you mean.  Basically a reflective surface reflects everything and most everything is visible depending on your position in relation to the object.  For example, an object held behind your back can be seen by a person standing in front of you if they change their position slightly.  It is a fascinating and wonderful phenomenon.

One could only hope others would be openminded enough to consider things from all sides.  If I heard evidence from the other side that actually made sense and shook my own beliefs, it might sway me.  That's never actually happened to this point.

People will not always agree on certain things because they see things differently from each other.

yes it is very possible.  that means you listen to both sides of issues before you make a desicion.  i am that way too becuase back when i was too hasty to make desicions on important issues everything went wrong because i didnt have all information
