Why do some blaspheme God?

We are like children walking into walls, and stumbling over our own feet doing things that are not good for us or others. We need to work on how we feel about ourselves and others. We need to learn to love ourselves and others. Love

And see, i'm completely open to that being the grand reveal waiting behind the curtain of the afterlife. In a way, it would make a lot of sense if our purpose on earth is to prime us for our eventual road to potential godhood. And if that ends up being the truth of the matter, i'd happily take on the teachings of the far older, wiser humans with the perspectives of gods, and hope i could someday become something akin to them.

I'm also in total agreement with your final conclusion, cos i think that sums up my overall point too. I think our responsibility is to listen and learn, as well as pursue the goodness within us, whatever external well that goodness might spring forth from. We need to learn to love ourselves and love others, and from what i've seen, blindly & unquestioningly sticking to the teachings of a singular faith is no guarantee one will achieve that.

Most people that act aggressive around some religion or belief are just trying to win discussions in their heads or they are trying to make people have a specific reaction (that exist mostly in their heads)

Those people are dealing with their own troubles, so it doesn't make a difference to try too much to argue with them.

There are also people who are into Devil and hell imagery because well, the Devil is sort of the supreme symbol of evil. And those people are mostly trying to make sense of the evils of the world (or morbidly looking at them) than trying to be evil.

That happens sometimes. People die because it's their time to go. And as for people praying about that, what were they really praying for? The other person or was it just because they simply didn't want to feel alone? The former isn't selfish, but the latter is. If it was my time to go to heaven and people prayed for me to stay put, they wouldn't be doing me any favors.

What if a newborn baby is dying?? Wouldn't you as a parent pray for its survival? And desperately at that. Any parent would. Yet you say the parents should let the baby go to the afterlife, without praying. Isn't that cruel?

Perhaps I would, or perhaps I wouldn't. I'm honestly not sure. I did lose a child before I was able to give birth to him, though, and if you asked me how I felt about that now I'd say I'm happy that he is with God. I never said to do anything without praying. Always pray as much as possible. Just be aware enough to try to pray for the right thing and not the wrong things.

When a hurricane was approaching Virginia, the Christian group the 700 Club fervently prayed to avert the hurricane. Evidently those prayers succeeded because the hurricane veered off.

Yet in other instances with tornadoes, the prayers failed so thousands of people got killed. Why did those prayers fail to save those thousands of people (as compared to the Virginia case)? Was it because the prayers were not fervent enough?
