I can't believe the judgement I've seen from Freepers.

Neither can I.

Callous doesn't begin to describe it. It sounds an awful lot like "blame the victim" instead of those in charge.

Indifferent, insensitive, soulless, uncaring, uncompassionate, unfeeling.

I guess they aren't afraid of being judged by God in the same merciful way.

Many of the victims deserve some blame, staying behind because you have a dog is stupid, take it with you and skip the shelters. Staying behind because you survived Camille is stupid, this wasn't Camille. Staying behind just to see it, beyond stupid. Not that the Pol's get a pass, but their incompetence was predictable, they're libs.

I don't excuse looters or those that could have gotten out. But I am horrified for those that were helpless.

Like I said, these things happen to the just and the unjust together... because of the unjust. It's the law of unintended consequences.

However, just because someone receives judgement rightly is no reason not to help them recover.

God and those who know me best including a fair number of FREEPERS know my compassion and empathy is, according to many who've volunteered an opinion--in the top 3% or so. By God's Grace.

I'm not into blaming the victim.

However, the fact remains, as a group, a neighborhood, a nation, a people and as individuals . . .

while the rain falls on the just AND the unjust

in general . . . and sometimes with fierce specificity

Those who earnestly endeavor to seek God first; Love Him and others and follow His Priorities and rules

are blessed.

Those who don't aren't.

Those who are the worst rebels against Him get the most judgment.

That's simple historic fact throughout Scripture as well as plain old history.

Study it out.

Ranting at Quix won't change the facts.

And a lot of people have turned a blind eye to those facts and to God.

God eventually lets THE REAPING FROM THE SOWING be manifested.
