"Silence breeds consent" is the legal maxim. Your sky-daddy sat there and watched it happen when all he had to do was say "put the fire out, idiot".
That makes him guilty.
I with u Minimalist... In (jud 11:40) it says, "the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament =(To express grief for or about; mourn: lament a death) the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year." We cannot believe that the entire nation turned out to mourn and weep over a single girl being subject to a harmless vow. And Jephthah is listed among the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11:32.. go figure!!
Guys, aren't you aware that sometimes throughout history, when God misplaces his magical hat (a colander, as it turns out), he turns into the timid and powerless
