Well, if you're a reader of the Bible, you'll see that God used drought, famine, war etc. to get people's attention.
God is still the God of the Bible.
I understand that, I don't believe in the Bible. I think its just a bunch of fairy tales. That is just what I think though, I don't mean to belittle other peoples beliefs.
Maybe when I say he's 'nuts' I am belittling his or your beliefs and I did not mean it that way.
