    Yes, people suffer. How much more suffering is there to be had when we focus on suffering?

    Of course it is. What do you think it is?

    More, if you dwell on it. Less, if you work to reduce it. More, if you assume that it doesn't matter since God will give you bennies when you die.

    If faith in God reduced your suffering, would that be of value? If faith in God could erase your fear of suffering, would that be of value?

    Again, depends. If your faith in God prevented you from going to a doctor, it would increase your suffering. If your faith in God let you face certain death more calmly, it would help if you were dying. If your faith in God convinced you to kill the infidels to ease your suffering, that would increase it again.

    Might be subjective, but if you never tried the other, how could you know for certain.

    Depending on whether your doctor has a cure that isn't worse than the illness.
    And possibly if you are living?
    True, but if your victims had faith in God too, what harm could you really do?

    Maybe I did but then grew up?

    Do you have faith in Santa?

    Are you happier now or more bitter?

    I have faith in the spirit of Santa.

    As far as I know, the arrow of time moves forward not backward.
    Quite ambiguous, don't you think?

    Would we be able to perfect perfection, as we save safety? Like Adam to YHWH.

    You could kill them or people they love. That is harm no matter what woo-woo definitions you use.

    If that is your answer.

    No. Who is Santa in Spirit?

    It's not ambiguous in the least. So No.

    I'm sorry, beer. I didn't realize you were given a lump of coal for Christmas
