I have prayed about what you have said to me. you bring up a lot of hard issues, and sometimes I do not have all the answers. But the truth of the matter is that God has put the responsibility in our hands.
Well, no offense, but I hope you can see how "I don't have an answer but still think I'm right" isn't really gonna fly with me.
You seem to be getting mad at single incidents and refuse to look at the bigger picture. There are many things that will not go our way.
Actually, things are going great for me. I've had fantastic week, all things told. It's other people that the really bad crap has happened to. And while they may take some comfort in the fact that good things happen elsewhere to other people, somehow I doubt it.
I mean... assuming they're alive to be able to take comfort in it, that is.
By you not believing in God, and in fact being angry about the whole thing, does not do a single bit of good.
Well, given that I don't believe in God, I'm really not angry at him. No moreso than the inch-tall baboons, that is.
Instead God needs people like you to help sort things out, instead of making them more confusing.
Hey, from where I'm sitting, it all looks pretty straightforward.
I don't think you are in any kind of position to judge God's priorities, as you do not know them fully.
See previous posts. If God does in fact exist, then I know what he hasn't done. And you've told me things he has done. If you're right, then that puts me in a pretty good place to judge his priorities.
The situation you are judging is your own personal priority. Just becasue you feel its bad that people are dying, they may actually be happier now going home to the father.
So once again, it was wrong of me to assume that Africans don't like to be killed.

really care about, like their cars."
