No, I didn't say that. You are only showing yourself to have no respect for the topic.

Anyone who claims to be a Christian disagree?
This is from the Old Testament. The days when God was directing the Jews.
The Scripture also states that God allowed King Nebuchadnezzar to be the "scourge of the world" .

Death and suffering and destruction is all around us, and I think every Christian struggles with why these things must be. None of us will ever have all the answers cuz we are not God.
To be honest, I think this sort of thread just rubs it in everyone's face, conveying you have the attitude of not giving a damn.

Posting on these forums is like high school. Are you on the "in crowd" or not?
If not, then they are thrown to the dogs, never to be listened to again, as if their opinions no longer matter.

What say you?
Death and destruction is a result of sin.
But I can see what you are saying. We are surrounded here by people who embrace sin. I wonder why they choose a path of evil and destruction.
