>>A better question might be: How can a good God not just kill us all?<<
Remember how Lot searched for just one good man?
If God tasked any of us, we would probably be wiped out.
Thank God (hehe) our God has mellowed since the days of Abraham. If I was him, I would smite us all, based on the democratic party alone.
It wasn't Lot. It was Abraham. And he didn't search for just one good man. He searched for ten. That was the last number he and God agreed on. If he had been searching for just one good man, he would have found it in Lot.
