Pg 64 “I heard the voice of the officiant rising up, powerful yet at the same time broken, amid the tears, sobs, the signs of the whole congregation: “All the earth and the Universe are God's!” He kept stopping every moment, as though he did not have the strength to find the meaning beneath the words. “

People are loosing faith, loosing hope, in what they believed in so strongly before. Everyone is praying as if God will answer their prayers, even though they are starting to think that there is no God to answer to. This got me thinking about if there were a God, would he/she really let such a thing like this happen, and be repeated continuously throughout time? And if this is supposed to be a “lesson” as some people put it, then what would be worth learning when so many lives are lost? Coming back to the repeating history, and wars that keep happening because of the same type of fights between the same types of people. Why does this “lesson” keep happening over and over, if it is shown that we are repeating the same mistakes? And because of this would the question be: Is there really a God that looks after us and we look so highly of? Before reading this book, I believed in a God, to a certain extent, and now, thinking about it, I'm not really sure, because of the way our history keeps repeating and mass amounts of people keep dying, and our lesson is still yet to be learned.
