I can tell you with absolute certainty that the times that I grew closer to God were in the midst of trial and hardship. When a loved one died, or I faced uncertainty. You may not see it that way, but it's arrogant to suggest that others might react differently.
As to the reference to arrogance. Your comment above says that it is arogang to suggest that others may react diffetently. How is that arrogant? Is it arrogant to suggest others may act like yourself?
I am truly confused as to your insertiin of arogant into your response to my post.
Picture this: a pastor is trying to baptize a new member into Jesus' family. He's in the water, he grabs a mike and he is electrocuted. He's rushed to the hospital but he doesn't survive.
WACO, Texas (ABP) — Kyle Lake, 33-year-old pastor of the innovative University Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, was electrocuted and died Oct. 30 after he grabbed a microphone while in a baptistry full of water. According to eyewitness reports, Lake grabbed the microphone to adjust it while standing in the baptismal waters. He was shocked and collapsed. More than 800 people witnessed the event.
Here are some cases where Christianity, far from being good for you, is downright deadly for you. What kind of crazy mixed up world does God run here? If these people had ignored God they'd be alive today. But because they tried to please God they're dead today. Once again, is God completely innocent of bad stuff happening on His watch and it's all the devil's fault?
My money is on Christians saying "The devil did it." So Satan is stronger than God. That's a reasonable conclusion.
No satan is not stronger than God. Thats absurd, no creation is stronger than the creator. Satan is destined for destruction in the lake of fire-0 he can do about it except take all he can with him. And they are letting him because they believe the darkness over Jesus. They are having their ears tickled and they believe it-2Cor 11:12-15= 99% of all religions are lead by these. 99% of all religions claiming to be christian are lead by these.

Not a single word addresses the question in the OP.
You are wrong...again...as usual. Why do you call a falsehood, a "simple fact"?
Christianity is growing...and the place it is growing fastest, is where education is top level.
Anyone who is actually IN CHINA has another interpretation. This is all propaganda. Sorry to burst your bubble.
It is something to tell the faithful from the pulpit and to keep the money for Bibles coming into the collecting bucket.
This is long-standing and on-going research and demographics IN CHINA.
It's usually the Anti-Religionists that are bothered by the fact that the world is 84% Religious and growing (even assuming much lower numbers for China then in those links), with Atheism declining....that call it "propaganda".
These are the facts: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...ds-population/

I never said everyone would react as I did. Please stop putting words in my mouth. Some people get bitter when they suffer loss. This forum has several folks like that. Others, like me, are drawn closer to our savior.
Why do some get bitter and others run to God? No idea. Certainly not because we are better.

Well, you can't get much closer than the electrical victim here. That's why I say that perhaps we should be glad he died.
I agree this isn't a serious thread intended for meaningful discussion.
Maybe not, but at least it is not attempting to murder someone for blaspheming.
