Everyone is different, for some this is the answer, for you it is not. For me it may be cause to dance.

Nah you didn't come off strong. I have friends over there or went over to Afghanistan, some have come back and some haven't. I stopped looking for names.
I don't see it as God's will or boiling down to it other than just an execution of free will by a sole individual or a group of individuals over others.

I have always advocated this as I believe people should understand what they believe in, why and what for. Just following blindly is not the route to take.
Plus we can't all believe in the same thing because we do not all perceive it exactly the same way.
Thus, 100% agreement can never be achieved...or maybe it can be perceived as achieved. Who knows?
