What you have just said contains so many assumptions on your part and is so illogical it will take a bit of time to take it all apart. Convince me that within the bounds of temporality, life is just and fair. I see no reason to convince you of this. Justice and fairness are not required in the universe, nor do they appear to exist in it- imo. This is totally immaterial to what I said. I do not intend to convince you of something I do not believe exists, except as an idea in "fat" civilizations- that have the luxury of worrying about conceptions like justice and fairness. It is definitely true that one human being can screw another and reap some materialistic rewards in this life.I've no idea why you think that is relevant to what I wrote So, I don't doubt that people who choose to "go for it" can find plenty of pleasure to be "happy" about in the short term. It takes faith to believe that you have a real opportunity to be "perfectly happy." I've no idea why you wrote this stuff either. I wasn't talking about "going for it" in the short term. This seems to be a preconceived notion you have about the faithful and the non-faithful. I did not state that people had the opportunity to":have a real opportunity to be "perfectly happy." , only that the non-faithful can SEEM perfectly happy. Because all we can know with perception is what seems to be true. We can't know reality in any objective sense (imo). All in all I would say you totally misunderstood what I said and went off on your own little tangent which must be important to you, but which is of no importance to me.
