God was in the same place as when the Nazis slaughtered the Jews.
God does not simply allow evil, he allows good men to do nothing.
What was God supposed to do when France and Britian negotiated the partition of Czechoslovakia? Was he supposed to say, well, that's o.k., because I love the innocent I will not allow this blunder to result in such harm as the we know befell not only the Jews but the whole world, following the attempt to appease Hitler?
And, today, with the appeasement of Islamic fanatics that continued for decades, is God supposed to say, well, that's o.k., because I love the innocent I will not allow this blunder to result in such harm as we see about us?
God truly loves the innocent, and they are with him today and always, and we who miss them can be assured of being reunited with them forever, just we can also be sure that those who perpetrated these evils will be condemned to the fires of hell for always.
But, our bleeding heart liberal friends have got to realize that God has given us government not for national health insurance, but to be a terror to evil. Protecting us should be Job #1 for the governments of all the countries of the world.
Anyone who says that the war on terror takes money away from "programs" must think, like this Archbishop, that God is weak or uncaring, when, the truth is, they are simply fools.
Well said.
Very well said.
Thanks.
