If this is how it goes for Haiti, how will it go for a country that’s been legally murdering infants for a generation?

You make Roberston sound logical.

The first thing Moses did with the Ten Commandments was throw them to the ground in disgust at the sin of Israel. The next thing he did was plead with God not to destroy Israel. The implication being that God would have done exactly that had Moses not intervened.

And then is the case where Abraham pleaded with God to not destroy the people if 20, no, 10, no 5 righteous people could be found. The implication is clear: had there been no bargaining, then 5, no 10, no 20 righteous people would have been destroyed for the sins of others.

Because there is logic to it. You don't have to agree with him, but he's no fool.

Your god, the Bible, is full of examples.
