Now, that is why I am very angry. You know, if you insult a woman, all women comes to her defense, the same thing with gay, a Jewish person, a fat person, a black person, a Hispanic person, a Chinese person; so why in havens name Christians as whole do not band together and react to aggression against other Christians?

Your response is an unsubstantiated, immature generalization. It's like saying everyone whose last name is Smith knows every other Smith or all the people living in San Diego all know each other.

If you believe in God, you know that God has imbued each of us with free will - not just Christians, but all mankind.

I find it curious that you only hold Christians accountable for what is happening in the Sudan, not the Muslims perpetrating the murders. If we believe that we all have free will, then the Muslims are exercising theirs, just as the Christians being murdered are exercising theirs.

Muslims have a long history of committing murder - for just about any reason and, sometimes, for no reason. They are a cult of murderers so the fact they are committing murders shouldn't be a surprise. The Christians being murdered, to some extent, also have free will and can leave if they choose, rather than stay and face a certain fate at the hands of the murderers.

But, your anger solely at Christians strikes me as a camouflage for something else going on in your life, either with Christianity, itself, or some other factor for which you have chosen to focus on Christianity as your cause celebre.

Each of us does what we can do in life. For a variety of reasons, we cannot do a lot to help the Christians in the Sudan or stop the slaughter taking place there. For starters, our government has very little influence (if any) in the Sudan, so there's not much we can do to force the issue. Secondly, if a bunch of Christians jump on the next jumbo jet bound for the Sudan, determined to stop the murders, they'll just become the next group of Darwin Award winners. And, I would ask, with all of your pent-up anger at Christians for not speaking out or coming to the aid of other Christians, what are you doing to end the slaughter, other than blaming all Christians?

Clearly, this is an issue about which you have a great deal of passion. There's nothing wrong with that; passion is a good thing. But, misdirected anger and passion is destructive. It might be beneficial to re-direct your passion towards the things that you can do to help others if that is what you seek.

I also can't help wondering if you aren't questioning religion, in general, and Christianity in specific? I almost think it is a rite of passage for all Christians to question their faith. I certainly did when I was younger, reaching the level of agnosticism before I found my way back (no matter what I felt at the time, I wasn't so certain I was right that I was willing to deny the existence of God). If you are questioning Christianity, the whole Sudan issue may be a test you have created in your own mind to see how Christians will react; I don't know. Regardless of the outcome of your "test" or the murders of Christians in the Sudan, you will eventually exercise your own free will and make whatever decision you will make about Christianity, God and religion. This is all part and parcel of living as a free human on this earth. God granted us the ability to make choices, knowing that we might stray. This is why Christianity is a religion of faith. It isn't something that science has been able to prove in a lab, and it isn't something that you will find on the shelf at 7-11 or Wal-Mart. It either works for you, or it doesn't. Whichever way you choose, it is your choice. I grappled with those choices for a long time. Whatever you decide about Christianity, or religion, or the Sudan, that is the choice you will make and you will reconcile your life to that choice.

Whatever happens, I wish you well.
