Then why...
Does God permanently punish people who don't get their acts together
in their roughly 80 or so allotted years on Earth, with many until
recently not even making it that far? Just basing it on what I was
indoctrinated with - I mean taught - since I can remember, without
being asked or told any alternatives without having to look into it on
my own.
I think it most likely that we are totally on our own, which frightens
more people than not when we should look on this as a very good
reason to better work and live together, since we are all we've got.
