Silence is enabling.
Attack the perpetrators of violence then. Why hold other people responsible for the violence just because you've chosen to group them in the same category with those who commit violence?
We sure did roast a lot of Germans and Japanese who weren't shooting at us.

God is the source of all value. If you don't understand how valuable the basis to all value should be to you, perhaps, it's a fault on yours and not the source of all value.

Oh goodness, there you go again Mystic.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No we shouldn't. God has rights to do things to us, that we don't have right to do to one another. This doesn't mean God is allowed to do anything he wants. Just that you can't apply the same standards to God as you do other humans.
If you want detail of this I can give reasoning that confirms why. There was threads about this issue in the past.

What's missing, other than an ounce of reason..nothing...there's sure a heaping dose of "you totally asked for it" in there. Good luck with that.

But these were the seeds that helped to shift my emotional needs. Have you ever heard that old story about the little boy who planted a seed and dug it up the next day to see if it was growing?
