Apparently, God intervenes by burning city suburbs, filled mostly by ordinary people, but allows Nazi death camp officers, guilty of murder on an industrial scale, torture and sickening experimentation to die peacefully in old age. What sort of morality is that?
Sorry RachelO, I'm not sure I understand your post, are you asking me if I'm not a Christian because of Desmonds post? Because if so, it's not, I've never been a Christian. I've spent a lot of time working in multifaith situations, including a retreat house, I've discussed faith with people of all faiths and none, including an Arch-Bishop.
That is what I wrote at first and didn't want and not here. This is for the private like this if you so want me, but as I wrote my thoughts are a bit different of this. I hope you do not right Christanity of because of this.
Sometimes it good to take a step outside and have some fresh air. When I saw Desmond79 posts on faith in the past they seemed written out of love, this one seems different. Stop watching television for a while and speak to a mature person minister etc for a dialogue. That is just my thoughts.
it's a reminder, if I needed one, of why I'm not a Christian and never will be
Well think back to the times of Noah - people were doing bad things and his response was effectively genocide of the human race and all land animals & birds.
Leave a handful to tell the story and wiping out 99.9999& of the living things is the act of a loving god.
Personally I think it was orchestrated by the fishes - you didn't see any of them get hurt in the flood did you?
