God allows bad things to happen. The world was given to us and we gave it away to satan from a bible perspective--at least for now until god forcibly takes the deed back.

God put physical and metaphysical processes in place that are still running today. He also allowed US free will to govern our god to human, human to human, and human to nature interactions. 95% of the bad that happens in this world is the result of someone's choice (5% accounts for natural disasters and "acts of god").

Although communism is evil, there were alot of wrong " that led to terrible results:
-unworthy leaders, rich, greedy folks that angered the people
"foolish" or uninformed people who believed those demon-inspired leaders who had this notion of "utopia"
-once these demonic leaders got power, some people probably made choices in taking on fellow countrymen who didn't go along with the revolution and because of their silence, compliance, or fear, allowed them to be killed
-in other parts of the world, leaders were making choices not to help stem this pestilence because it didn't affect them.

How blind are we about history? This is happening right now....the same old evil shows up in new forms in every generation. It is really all about choices. Some of America's elites are so evil and have evil intentions for this nation and its people so that they can amass money and power with no constraints. They want to bring about a government that will strip away the god-inspired protections our brilliant founding fathers put in place. Some of America's citizens are also so rebellious and/or foolish that they don't try to really understand or seek the truth regarding these people and their plans so will willy nilly help them to get into power.

If John Kerry is elected, it will not be God's "perfect will" but his "permissive will" because he will allow the people of America to choose and to choose badly if they desire. The old testament is filled with examples of this. They had hundreds of years of bad rulers. He will allow America to reap what it sows and experience the consequences of those choices--regardless of the fact that many of us don't agree with them. Then we will just have to find the courage to make good choices and thwart their efforts--like we did in the Clinton years.

sorry for the lecture but i hate to see God get a bad rap for our choices.
