Your theology may provide you some comfort, but it is lethal. If God's actions are conditioned on man, then you make man more powerful than God. You have then, in effect, made yourself God. The first commandment says that "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me."

In addition, to question the goodness of God, based on your view of events, is blaspemous. You have no right to question His ways. They are past your comprehension.

It appears that you do not want a sovereign God. You seem to want a God that conforms with your will. As a result, you want to maintain your autonomy and control over the Lord of the Universe.

So explain precisely what your theology is, and the theology of the author of the ariticle above. Old Blood and Guts God snuffing out the innocent? Or is that the 6,000 murdered weren't in fact innocent -- that they were representative pieces of immoral trash who deserved to die an unspeakably horrible death at the hands of your god in order to cleanse America. I think you and the entire membership of the cult of the Mysterious Holy Executioner should give this claptrap a rest. Have SOME sense of decency and respect for the deceased and keep this self-righteous bloviation to yourself, at least for the time being.

I want to say this as gently as I can. I don't want to get into an argument here. But look at what you are saying here for a moment. If God can do as he pleases, why does he "look for a man to pray for the nation"? Obviously, he cannot extend his mercies without someone asking him to.

In addition, to question the goodness of God, based on your view of events, is blaspemous.

I just told you what Jesus said.

It appears that you do not want a sovereign God.

Perhaps it appear this way to you, but it is not what I am saying.
