Indeed. How many bad children must a father raise, before people start questioning the father's teaching methods?

Why not pray for the grenade to be a dud or something?
You only have a problem taking a life because all that you hold dear is safe. Here's the thing. if and when evil is left unchecked it will indeed come after what you hold dear for no other reason sometime than to strike at your heart... Lest you can think of any other reason to bomb, a western girl tween concert.
This should be proof as well as the boston bombing, Orlando's Pulse as well as the Sanimonica Christmas Party shooting, that the only reason your not in a war zone is because this brand of evil is just now starting to gain a foot hold in your world. To say or pretend otherwise or this is not real is just foolish. burrying you head in the sand in the past may have worked, but the effort now is to move the war off the proper battle field and place it in the civilian population. So just because you will not consider fighting a war, does not mean your enemy is not preparing himself (and if need be his children) to fight you.

Yep, using a national atrocity as a preaching opportunity. That's it, Drich, keep up the Lord's work - your class is showing. And I'm only off by two letters.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

It has nothing to do with God. it was just about trying to proove might does not always equal right and when he couldn't the goal posts were moved to make it seem 'the man' had the moral high ground.

This sums up the entire point I was making in another post here earlier...in one sentence, lol. Thank you, MA. Efficiency is clearly not my strong suit
