    Life is mysterious and that was a chilling video. How one can continue to survive after the arguably the worst event in human history is true strength.

      exactly this was just coincidental as many thousands did not get their children back

    Life taught me that I have to defend myself. I cannot trust in people or in God. Man needs good laws, values and good role models ... Since I can't see God, I really can't judge Him. I can only judge people and their behavior. Since the beginning, humanity has had a problem with evil. I don't know if there is a Satan or if evil results from animal nature.

      Why? When? If God doesn't exists why so many people died for him? Why so many people were persecute in the past to keep the scriptures alive?

      Facts there has never been and most likely never will be any actual observable evidence ever in the history of mankind of any kind of higher power at all it’s all a matter of control and fearmongering of the sheep’s in this matrix world we live in.

      The Bible is a myth book and has been disproven many times by professionals and you could look this up but I think like 97% of the historians and scientists top experts around the world strongly disagree with the creation story and these are people who actually have master degrees and dedicated their whole lives to science now if you say they are wrong you are simply uneducated and ignorant to your own beliefs.
