To: Amos the Prophet

South Korea is already showing that moral compass. It thrives, while giving millions of dollars to an unrepentant North Korea.

Your words are a perversion of the circumstance between the warring countries.

Let me ask you this. Why didn't Christ, who had all the power to do so, eliminate poverty and change everyone's hearts? According to your perspective, because He could do so, He was required to do so. But He didn't. Nor did God on any other occasion. Why?

When the example of Jesus, God, all the Prophets, and the Apostles do not support your moral perspective, I think it shows you are supporting the wrong position.

Do the jaded Freepers jeering here represent to you "the example of Jesus, God, all the Prophets, and the Apostles?"
You speak for all of the authority that has ever influenced Judeo Christian thought, yet, you fail to acknowledge the horror of allowing people to die under malicious dictatorship. Instead you excuse the moral failures of South Korea - and by extension the US - on purely political grounds.
You argue that because God could end poverty and did not people of conscience should sit on their hands and do nothing?
The moral tone in much of the Freeper state is given over to politics. I could not be more dismayed.
