Sure, it is in mine. Not his it would seem.
Keep in mind I am posting from my viewpoint:
If God were to 'fix' the world at this very moment, there would be no choice between right and wrong anymore. The window of opportunity would be closed and the fate of everyone on earth would be set.
Every day that evil remains on this earth is another day that the choice is offered. Another day where one can choose the right over the wrong. It is because God is merciful that He waits.
If you believe the scriptures, not even a sparrow dies without God's knowledge.
Please do not make the mistake of blaming God for the evil actions of men.

It is. The universe is just waves and particles interacting with each other. If you could map the movement of each one and what it's movement would do to other particles, you could know the future. Of course that would be insanely difficult.

Oh man. Now you are getting into Pre-destination vs. Free Will.:P
Maaaan. I want to get into this discussion, but if there is even an unwritten rule about it, I should keep my trap shut. ALL OF YOU BE WONDERFUL TO EACH OTHER!
I am happy that you have to spend 1-2 hours sitting up straight with about old ladies and NOT being sold into slavery or starving each day. I am happy that you actually have a mother. I am thankful that you have an option to reflect on your days and not have to beg for them to be over.
Hm no sorry... I cannot do it ...
You wanna be thought as cool or something? Oh my everyone will think I'm cool cause I'm bashing churches. Look at me I'm such a rebel! Why don't you be a better rebel and NOT go to church. Instead why don't you find some food line to work at or a homeless shelter. It'd be way better than insulting your parents while sitting in a church.
Your gesture is worthless and I believe you should tell your mother that instead of lying to her face. Stop pretending and be a real man and admit how you feel.
Spare us your ugly life choices. It's just as bad as being a furry.
