I totally reject the idea that all things are God's doing.

So you think that Satan used the terrorists, as opposed to God using them? How do you know? Even if God didn't direct it to happen, He allowed it to happen.

We know this was not God's doing by the nature of the actions -- they were unequivocally evil.

Since the terrorists believed they were doing God's will, it is clear they were being deceived by the one we call the Father of Lies -- Satan. However, this does not excuse their actions. There are no conscripts in Satan's army. Ultimately, no one serves Satan against his or her will. IOW they knew what they were doing.

"Even if God didn't direct it to happen, He allowed it to happen."

It's called "free will."

I simply have one other question for all you people alleging that the events of 9/11 were an act of God's wrath (because that's what God's judgement is: the outpouring of His wrath.)

Someone on another thread wrote, in essence, that this was God's "payback" for abortion in this country. While I am staunchly pro-life, I wonder why it took almost 40 million innocent babies slaughtered and almost 30 years for God to judge America this way?

Did God intend to hit all those abortion clinics with a fleet of planes and just miss? Or did He intend to kill thousands of people who may never have had anything to do with abortion (some may have even been pro-life and Christian, for all we know)?

All of you who are alleging that 9/11 was an act of God's wrath, please tell me, is God a bad shot, or is He unjust?

I anxiously await your answer.
