why are there so many tortured soles in the world?

Why are some people unable to make their own decisions?

Why do they hide behind things - the bible for instance.

They quote other people words.

They quote from the bible - they do not have Original thoughts.

God gave us our own minds - why are so many people afraid to use it.

I find this quite sad - do any of you agree?

Update:

Your inner jedi - it was not a criticism - just an observation. what I said was not a quote - if it was the same as something written somewhere I assure you that it was pure coincidence.

Update 2:

gut buccket - when I say tortured soles I don't mean literaly "soles" I just mean unhappy people.

Update 3:

spelling never was my strong point!!!

everybody takes what you say so seriously.

I am only making an observation and you have all - well quite a lot of you - proven my point!

Update 4:

Stephen - I apologise for my spelling - I did not go to a religious school.

Yes and I know the jokes on me because of my spelling!!!!!

Can we ignore the spelling and look at the content.

Don't get so serious world - this is my point - people should be enjoying their lives and not getting so bogged down in the detail!!!!

Update 5:

prison officer

I hope for the sake of your soul that you are not being entirely serious.

Oh and the joke about my spelling is about 20 to late!!!!

oh! and I am not sad just curious.

I am actually a very happy person. Probably spend a little to much time here, but I have been on holiday for a week, am back to work next week - to a job I love - you won't here from me so much then.

I am just curious about people. That's all, not in the slightest bit depressed. My life is good and sometimes I wonder why some people seem to have more than their fair share of cr*ap in their lives. Just seems a bit unfair. Being happy does not mean that you stop being concerned for other people.

Update 6:

Connie - where did I say I do not believe?

Update 7:

thank you all for your comments -

some funny - some far to serious!!!!

    The soles you are talking about are tortured because they are on the bottom of your footwear.

    Souls being spiritual are a part of people. All societies have problems with people who cannot make decisions regarding themselves or their form of government. People are afraid of things. Hiding behind a bible or koran would be impossible unless the book was larger than the person. I am using my words to answer your question, therefore this question is mute. When my wife asks me what I want for breakfast, I can assure you I do not run for my bible to answer her. I answer her question simply, my original thought. I use my mind by answering negative questions like yours. If you are sad about this, you should see a psychologist. You may be suffering from depression.

    Look- if I want to hide my ripped, torn soles behind my bible- or any other book for that matter- its my bussiness. I bought new shoes last week, I just can't bring myself to get rid of the old ones.

    I don't call them tortured, they have had good, long lives and provided me with alot of walking!

    But you may be right about my not using my mind or quoting people too much.

    It's a little sad, I agree.

    yes i do agree. its seems to be the run of things. i mean now in govt they are having hard time seeing what is going on and yet no one is thinking clearly i wonder why. the brain is a useful thing if used but then again its not used much is it for this side view. why people hide behind the bible i am not sure but all are loking for someone to believe in and this is where they are going.

    You speak of God who gave us minds, yet you do not BELIEVE what He has to say in His Word? You are right..He gave you a great mind to know and love Him and know that unless you have a relationship with Jesus Christ and follow Him, you will be separated from Him in eternity! So USE that God given mind!

    The only "tortured souls" I know are the ones that believe in a "soul".

    Because so many people have foot fungus.

    edit: You criticize others for not having original thoughts, yet you say: God gave us our own minds - why are so many people afraid to use it." *sigh*
