I am bewildered at how a supposed religion of love and compassion finds it convenient to shout "praise God!" When others perish

I beg to differ sir.

Biologically and psychologically, religion and faith emanate from the most primitive part of our brains,..the part where our basest and most primordial instincts reside.
This is where selfish, fearful beast resides.
It defines reality in extremely narrow, self-centered terms.

This is no wonder that religion , superstition, oppression, violence and war go hand in hand.

In my own life, far too many times I have seen decent people become narrow minded, hateful, fearful, superstitious and selfish , the deeper they go into religion and faith.

Wow. This post is so profound, I couldn't agree more.

It is consonant with basic human compassion and sympathy. . .

Finally you accept you act this way even as a Christian, why were u wasting my time and pretending u didn't understand what I was saying.
Now you have given a detail of the sacrifice you make to be a christian and why the God u serve should favour you among others. But what you dont know is that you are indirectly saying that since you make such sacrifices to be a christian you deserve a special favour while those who dont deserve what befalls them because they didn't make the sacrifice u made. Do you see how Christianity breeds such disturbing behaviour u have been denying all these while? Jesus didn't have to tell you to do it... Yet u are doing it.
BREAKING NEWS: Despite your sacrifices, no God favours you more than anybody. Your life is just a wish. We all have the same chance of facing bad and good conditions. I have never been sick since 2007 yet I see Christians who make sacrifice get admitted in hospital. Its about chance not any God.
Your life is just a make belief, nothing but a wish since u believe u have made huge sacrifice for God and should reap the good or ur sacrifice. So many people, many atheist, are living much better than you. While you look around u and encourage urself that the good things around you are as a result of your sacrifice. And when one atheist faces a bad condition u quickly think he deserves it. Keep on living in delusion. U are losing both ways.

sense!!!
