heck they do that with all of the bible these days, they want to make the bible all warm and fluffy. i guess you have to be certain type of christian not to see what god does as less that good. but being god means that he gets excused for tihngs like that i guess.
its funny, now we are taught to think even in the face of getting people angry, or to question authority even gods, so now they just don't talk about the bad things god does so they don't lose people because of it
i shake my head at the conflicting messeges parents and teachers and authority figures send at kids. question everything, but what I say about things.
if it wasn't for the fact that its common everywhere i'd go to another country
