I have friends of mine who's very large extended family live in Syria. Most of them are taking refuge temporarily in the U.S. The friend of mine has an interesting attitude about the situation. He said "well they (the Syrian people) are the one's who chose to rebel. " Then he said something about how they should not be surprised about the consequences. It was said with a "they have to accept the consequences for this" attitude. I wish I could have questioned him further but he didn't really want to talk about it and our conversation was interrupted shortly after I asked him about his country. So I let it go.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
