I imagine in part it comes from your lack of experience in third world nations as well as your desire to belittle and demean Polycarp.

It comes entirely from my desire to belittle Polycarp's Fallwellian-Robinsonian notion that God needs to hurl down some hellfire to teach sinners a lesson.

It's a childish notion that is human in origin, not divine.

That's up to God, of course, but He's done it before, and terrible things are predicted in the Bible. Usually, in the Bible, when things get really bad sin-wise, God steps in to teach a lesson.

Attacking a person's work, even in a backhanded way, is an evil thing to do. Work is prayer. You would do well to leave a person's profession out of your posts -- unless, of course, appearing childish and juvenile is something you wish to accomplish.
