To make a long story short, my only intention at this stage of the discussion is to ensure that no one here actually believes that people suffer because they don't believe in your god(s). I apologize if my post here was taken any other way. I will add that it is immensely relieving to me that no one (thus far) evinces such an absurd line of thinking. And I'm happy that you all agree that to think in such a backwards, Neanderthal manner (to think one suffers for not believing in another person's religion) is completely ludicrous, not to mention inhuman and barbaric.

the thought police appear to have risen from the dead.

Believing in God won't actually do very much for you, even the devil believes in God and look where he's at. So assuming belief in God will end your suffering... hmmm... I doubt it. There's quite a bit more to know than simply that.

What is interesting along that line of thought though is that many people also suffer because they do not believe the devil is real, many Christians included in there. Much barbaric behavior can also be attributed to the belief in various gods. Visit Sudan for a modern day example. Or try the crucifixion fields of Egypt. Who is Molech, does anyone know? Whitewashing reality with a few words of disbelief only serves to help the suffering continue.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
