You think?  God started the war in syria, then...or "withheld his protection"?  Was he protecting them before?  Why, what for?  What from?
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!

Is that a question or a statement?

A statement, of course.

RE: christian school project
I do have five children. And if I knew that three of them would turn out to be murderers--I would certainly make sure that I was involved in their life to make sure to prevent that from happening. I wouldn't be absent, invisible, hoping to influence them through a book written long before they were ever born. Instead I would, as much as I do now, be involved in their lives and teach them love and compassion for other human beings. And I would do so DIRECTLY. I wouldn't expect them to get it from a book--that's just asking for trouble. Nor would I ask a friend of mine to do it. I would do it myself.

Would you want an arranged marriage or one created out of love. He does not force us to love him because that wouldn't actually be him loving us now would it.

He doesn't punish you for not loving him? Doesn't he send people to hell for not loving him? Which is it?

How does this analogy work in relation to that? Should we punish people for not accepting marriage?

So if he's all-powerful he could have done more than that? By just allowing it to happen, is he showing love?

Please define love in your own words. I keep asking and you keep not answering.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
