To: Amos the Prophet

God went so far as to wipe out whole cities with fire who didn't follow Him and instructed His own people to wipe out whole races of people. He even tells the whole world that if we do not follow Him, He will send us to Hell!

You speak to me about the "horror of allowing people to die under malicious dictatorship." What of the entire example of God and Christ under the very contexts of which you speak? You are 180 degrees out of phase with the Bible.

I do not (and am not allowed to) excuse anyone's moral failings. However, I can identify what is a moral failing and for whom is actually at fault, unlike you in your words to date.

I am not responsible for your sins before God. Likewise, South Korea's people are not responsible for the sins of North Korea's people or government.

Death will happen, regardless of what you profess Sought Korea should be doing.

You seem to believe it is more important before God to some attempt to stop death than to convert people who are able to hear the Word, to God.

God allows millions to die around the world every week. Should we do any and everything to help someone survive a bit longer? The answer is a simple, "No". It was placed before us as the example of Christ and God throughout all of time. He did not make everyone survive in a similar light.

If you have a problem with my words, you must truly have a problem with God.

Life is less important than being with Him. Not all will be with Him, unfortunately.

God did not compromise with those cultures he eradicated. Neither should we. Instead, we need to offer an example and be willing to be there under circumstances in which our belief is not compromised. What don't you understand about that?

Your arguments are not different in any respect from those of Muslim fanatics. Your God, sir, is my satan.
