Most likely, everything you have read about Christianity is about the Nicenes, i.e., Christians who believe in the Nicene Creed, the Nicene Bible, and that the creator god of the Old Testament is the father of Christ who died for the sins of mankind.

I am a Gnostic, I believe that the god of the OT is the Satan of the New Testament, that Christ came to give us the wisdom to escape the creator's prison of reality and did not die for our sins, and I believe in the Gnostic Gospels, not the Pauline books (Paul never even knew Christ) or the books of the OT ( save for Psalms and Proverbs, which speak of the unknowable GOD and Sophia and not Yaldabaoth, satan, the creator)

Hence, I am a Christian...just the kind of Christian that would have been burned at the stake 1,000 years ago.

Especially as there was a human rights activist on board described by one of her colleagues as 'irreplaceable' and a 'truly wonderful, great human being.' Not good enough to warrant God's saving hand obviously.

I say this with a sincere heart. He was in the same place when His Son was cricified on the cross.

before every disaster there were warning signs which for the most part we are deaf and blind to. only those who are awake hear them.
most are not--- most are sleep walking and think they are awake.
where is god? he never left.
how many even notice the moon rise and set or the stars?
sleepwalkers.

if there was no saddness we couldn't feel joy.
experience, understanding, empathy, love.

actually that is not true

the natural state of our emotional being is joy

the natural state of our physical being is health and vitality

to say we "must" have sickness and sadness, or we will never know health and joy, is a belief worth discarding; because it only sets us up for, well, sickness and sadness.
