When I read this thread, I am a bit torn about the way that the conversation has gone. The original poster seemed to want to share a message of hope. Some people replied to express their disagreement with that particular message. Nobody expects anyone to agree when they don't, but we do need to keep in mind that beliefs are near and dear to each person's heart. What would be appropriate conversation elsewhere and on another topic can be painful here. I don't want to censure anyone for expressing beliefs that differ from someone else's, but at the same time, please keep it supportive. Rather than replying with any kind of message that you disagree, maybe another thread could be started that explains what is important to you. For example, rather than directly contradicting the belief that Sky shared (her belief that God created only good), a new thread could talk about a belief in the value of opposition. Please return to the original topic in this thread. If you want to post about what I wrote in this post, please take it to another thread.

Thanks,
