Could any of the religious AB members please explain in words that I can understand or without pasting lengthy gibberish tomes, why their Almighty has seen fit to kill over 2000 people in Nepal?
Just an afterthought. I am re-posting one of my questions in the above post. It is mainly for Naomi, but anyone can answer. And I believe a yes or no answer will be enough as it is just a simple question.
////……Now I am also willing to be wrong once I am dead, are you?/////
Perhaps I should add ONE more word to it. “……Now I am also willing and READY to be wrong once I am dead, are you?

If the reality is that your misogynist deity and his pedophile prophet are the masters of the universe then yes I am happy to accept complete oblivion. At least I would have dignity.
Now you consider this potential alternative. Perhaps we all have something we can only roughly describe as a life after death based on our lives after birth.
The worshipers are assigned to spend an eternity prostrating 24-7 to their sycophantic deity because that is the only thing they considered possible while the heathens continue to wander among the variety of possibilities they contemplated in their lives.
Khandro, //and when I die, and when I 'm gone,they'll be one child born in this world to carry on"//
I really want to say 'who are they?' .... but I won't.
Your attempt at 'smart' didn't work - smacked legs - but I assume you mean when you're dead you're dead. Please feel free, without the failed 'smart', to correct me if I'm mistaken. So difficult to get a straight answer from you. It doesn't reflect well.
To get back to the OP - why pick on this disaster to ask if it was by any religious permission? Why does anyone die in tragic circumstances? - Pompeii? Krakatoa? Herald of Free Enterprise on our own doorsteps 20 years ago?
keyplus, no need to feel sorry for me. There are a number of questions which you haven't answered, I was just letting you see how annoying your habit of not answering is. To help you, the question beso asked is this thread, 13-15, 02/05/15. If you would care to answer that question I will dig out a few more you haven't answered.

keyplus90 //Beso - And perhaps you can remind me too. which post and what question are you refering to? //
I did say: "Try the one directed at you in my previous post." It is on this very page.
Here it is again:
