DLL <<Forgive me if this seems to harsh, life is full of tough situations, and G-d must be there for everyone and be explainable if we are to love and help one another.>> There is nothing to forgive. Your questions asked without malice, I have no problem with that. Let me try to answer them one at a time. << First, if I accept that idea any madman has the same right to share G-d as the Mother Theresa.>> Everyone has the same right to share God, How soon you come to God is up to you. It is interesting that you bring up Mother Thearesa, truly one of the great people of our time. In a book called, "Tying Rocks to clouds", she was asked if chrititanity is the only path to God. she answered that it is not, that an earnestly applied love based spirituality can also get you there. ( I am paraphrasing due to a faulty memeory). <<Or Hitler claimed to kill the Jews because of G-ds work. This idea seems dangerous at worst, or chaotic at best.>> You cant confuse the man with the philosophy. Many people died because of the Crusades. That is a reflection of the people who did the killing, not christianity. << you really could not convince me it was wrong, unless there is the frame of reference of the 10 commandments, "thou shalt not kill".>> As I said, the path to the souls reunification with God is through the embodiment of unconditional love for all. In the instances you have mentioned, (killing, cannibalism, etc.) that is not exactly a good representation of unconditional love. I have heard it said(and I agree) that there are only two pure emotions, Love and fear. the continuation of that is that when you operate out of love, you are doing gods work. Mark
