Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God. – Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), the Indian Spiritual leader of the Hindu religion (Vedanta). He was a disciple of the 19th century Indian mystic-saint Sri Ramakrishna. He was the founder of the Ramakrishna Order of Monks. Trust is independent. God said it – I believed it. So simple!

How could a loving god send people to hell? The answer is two-fold. First, on a purely human level, God is a leap of faith. It is a convenient salvation that we all take into concern in most of our eternal play of pain and pleasure, profit and loss, and life and death; and so when some unfortunate thing happens to our live, it happens for purpose, to our good, to uncover something appropriate. Secondly, in this way, it has been expressed in so many times and in so many ways that it has become an approbation truth.

(3) Teleological argument (a.k.a. intelligent design): It claims that there is an order in this world and universe for a reason – the creator had a specific purpose in mind. Everything happens for a reason. Even some unfortunate things happen in our live, perhaps, to uncover our hidden talent, to uncover opportunity, to awaken us to our mission, to detour us better route, or something appropriate.
