God is the Almighty.

Ed why didn't you say that God wanted my mother in law to DIE?
I think that your putting in way to much as to what God wants, considering
you mock his existence.

I don't know what God does with lost souls. Sorry if you thought that I had
an inside track. I really believe that God accepts all sorts of souls, in
that those who do the right thing. Some who believed in Christ, and others
do not. We will find out in the end I guess.

If you are given the chances but don't take advantage of them what do you
expect? You are to respect others, help the poor, act humble, I could go
on. If you fail to do the right thing then you could suffer. Who knows,
you may just be stuck in purgatory for a long while getting your head right.
