See, this is sort of my point, GC: these people are representing your church. So far, it seems like the only things christians want to do in these situations is distance their church from these guys, but... honestly, should that be all? Shouldn't you guys be wanting to clean house on this? If the suffering of those children- apparently in the name of your lord- doesn't motivate you, then shouldn't correcting their faulty view of god do so?
Why is it you're palming this off on the government, when governments are otherwise these evil, secular things trying to persecute christians?
Well to start off with they represent themselves in reality, they steal the name of Christian to validate what they do. Their actions are not what the whole of scripture calls for, indeed it is contrary to scripture.
What would you suggest the Christian Church in America do about these people? You want us to go into other countries and take the law into our own hands, like that wouldn't cause a world wide uproar. Scripture calls for the Church to excommunicate such people, but when the Church has so many denominations each do as they see fit.
How do you suppose we tell others what they can and can't believe. I don't even do that here, I suggest things but I never try and push anyone. People in their own countries should have the desire to stop such horrible actions, it would not happen in this country.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
