    There should be something, something unusually grim and mysterious, with a person to being 'repulsed' by others. Assess yerself first before blaming others for your shortcomings!

    Since you seem to believe in ""hell'' it implies you also believe in 'another people', ie ''Heaven''!

    Inside the heads of madmen is another people and another hell.

    Sometimes I fail to understand why some people are intrigued by the thought of 'hell' rather than 'heaven'?? What if there is none?? What if there are both with 'angels' waiting there to extend their 'hospitality' to the arrived ??

    Or maybe human nature is a God in itself.
    "We look at the world, at governments, across the spectrum, some with more freedom, some with less. And we observe that the more repressive the State is, the closer life under it resembles Death. If dying is deliverance into a condition of total non-freedom, then the State tends, in the limit, to Death. The only way to address the problem of the State is with counter-Death, also known as Chemistry." -- Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

    "Man simply is", no nature explains him. If there is a God, he is as baffled as the rest of us on account of free will; and if he is baffled, he's not God; and if he is not baffled, he's not God.

    Interesting!
    Wonder if humans are the image of God...and are the same as Him in traits. Here is some reference to those 'traits'....

    and

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Islam

    Let's not blame God..


    ''Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.''

    In fact it is really hard to say about God. Was this world created? How was it created? The universe has stars, planets, galaxies and all the stuff. If God is a creator from where God bring forth all else? Is there a very muscular God? First we must think what is the source of our ideas about God. Two sources: one what we hear from our elders and second we read in our scriptures. God is therefore in their words and or in the letters of scriptures. Are these sources reliable?

    I often feel God exists but not the scriptural or personal God. God is consciousness and I cannot say God created the universe as some of our scriptural texts have described

    God is always universal. Love may be personal.
