It must be wonderful to have the keys to the gates of Heaven.......

It must be fantastic to know all about what heaven is like and how to get there and who is going to get there. Indeed you have my congratulations and admiration. Certainly this must be the case of anyone who can say, "If they were slightly smarter, they would realize that they not going to go the heaven and that the US miltary or Iraqi miltary is going to kill them, especially the middle management and higher management."

Perhaps that is the crux of the problem in Iraq that no one other than you have noticed. Iraqiis are not smart enough! But you do have me a little confused here. Are you saying that all Iraqiis are not smart enough to realize they are not going to heaven, or just the Iraqiis not in the Iraqi Military, or just the Iraqiis that are opposing the US occupation?

Now I did notice that each of your paragraphs started out, "I believe....." so, obviously your post contains nothing you know. For by definition if we know something it is part of our knowledge structure as opposed to our belief structure. For as Saul of Tarsus told us belief is based in faith, which is said to be the substance of things unseen, the evidence of that which is not known. So, what we know we need not believe. What we believe, obviously we don't know.

So, what you were saying by starting each paragraph with, "I believe" was meant to explain you didn't know what you were discussing in the post? Is this correct? Or, is there a possibility there is a problem of interpretation here?
