A Little Practice in Faith

See, I guess the problem I have here is that over three million people have died in the Congo over the past several years, but God stepped in to prevent you from getting spam.If God is going to intervene for... no offense intended... your piddling crap, and not for people who really need it, wouldn't that paint God in a rather unflattering light?-----------

We'd recommend that way of thinking even to those folks in the Congo we've been discussing.

They're already close. Mass graves don't leave much room.I guess if I want to make any point here, it's that belief in a loving God is probably a little easier to swallow in Rose Creek Village than it is in some other areas of the world. That might be something you want to keep in mind.-----------

Any twentieth century American would definitely have to ask themselves exactly this question. Not all of us come up with the same answer you did, that this paints God in an rather unflattering light.

Fair enough. Personally, I don't see how the suffering of the world can lead a person to anything other than one of three conclusions.1) There is no God.2) God does not interfere with the world.3) God plays favorites. And rather arbitrarily, at that.Your mileage, of course, may vary.
