We recently had a fatal stabbing at a drinking party near where I live. Didn't know any of the people involved... but I DO know that the 20-year-old "victim" was a handsome, all-star athlete, RICH boy (who was said to have a REAL flair with the girls, BTW.) He also had a reputation as a vicious, sadistic bully. (In fact, the reports indicate he was in the process of doling out an (unprovoked!) beating when he was stabbed - as he was straddling the "perp" and pounding on him (the "perp" had been trying to avoid him all week, and had the misfortune of encountering the "victim" at the party.) ANYWAY, as he was being pounded, the "perp" managed to fish out a switchblade and stab "Pretty-Boy" several times (interestingly enough, our "perp" was a smallish, fat-faced kid about two years younger than our (now-defunct) "hero".) My question is... how did such an a$$-hole, get to live on Earth as a "guy with everything"? Especially if Don was right and there is no reincarnation, why would such an individual be created? Assuming also that Don is right, and we pre-exist but do NOT reincarnate to Earth, why would a "jerk spirit" be given such an awesome vehicle and cool life circumstances, which he would then use to torment others? Presumably, God knows everything... Assuming that mechanistic materialism is wrong and that there IS an afterlife, the only solution I can see, is that this well-favored - but NASTY - individual was being dealt a humility lesson of some kind, in being killed by the weaker person he was gleefully tormenting. But barring REINCARNATION and another go-round, what would he be learning, that could possibly be of use to him? Some sort of karmic adjustment, is the only way I can imagine ANY rhyme or reason in this sad little affair. But if we "only go 'round once", we have to assume that "Pretty-Boy" was created as an object lesson for "God's Holy Wrath", to be murdered here and then used as a torture-toy in "Hell". But wouldn't "God" have to be a serious capital-J "Jerk" to create such a person in the first place? After all, not only did "Pretty-Boy" suffer, but he caused suffering for many around him (by no means the least, his OWN LOVED ONES - think about the grief of his parents, who got to see so much PROMISE go swirling down the commode..?) So unless this WAS a reincarnational, karmic sort of thing... how can we explain it, without falling back on brain-dead, mindless "faith"?
