QuoteI don’t know anyone who would die in the manner they did if they knew what they were dying for wasn’t 100% true.
The guy's who drank the kool-aid also knew they were 100% right. Strength of conviction isn't always a good indicator of truth.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You might have a point if that was all there was to it. The Islamic terrorists also believe that they are dying for the truth. The difference is the eye-witness martyrs of the New Testament saw what they saw, were threatened with their lives if they continued to proclaim it, and were true to what they spoke even as some of them were tortured and crucified upside down until death. I cannot reasonably believe that any human being could endure that (especially all but one of them) just to perpetuate a false religion for their own purposes. They saw something extraordinary and believed that their eternal lives depended on following that example even as they were tortured to death.
My man strongly believed in Jesus.
How can you say his life was safed?
It was not, I was the non-believer, I survived. He's dead.
Not even our priest in our church was able to explain that to me and our son.
Ok, that's history. But I stll do not believe in anything else than what I am able to control.

It is said that God refuses to 'prove' his existence, because without faith he is nothing, but apparently did in Jesus' time?
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I’m not talking about our physical existence here. I’m talking about what’s after that. Our measly 60 – 100 years physically on Earth is nothing in the big scheme of things. If he was sincere in his belief, then he is alive spiritually. His life had purpose and still does. We get focused on our physical selves because that’s the only concept of life that we have. We’re like babies in a crib. The only thing we know is the cage around us and that big spinning mobile above our heads. It has been demonstrated in the past that there is more to come. We haven’t even touched the surface.

You’re going to die someday. You cannot control that. Do you believe in death? There are lots of things we cannot control or even can understand but are still very real.
I believe my believe, but don't believe in rules of religion. Believers that define their religion by rules are I beieve the worst source of misery that has spread on this earth for the last thousands of years.

Being “Catholic” and “believing in a church” isn’t really what’s important. If your husband sincerely believed in Jesus, then his life was saved. It hurts and we are angered because our loved ones are no longer physically with us, however, there is a purpose in everything. I am sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine something like that happening to me.
We are all one step away from death at any moment. Taking my life into “my own hands” or relying on “my own power” will not change that. Thankfully, there is an alternative.
