Quite often, throughout the Old Testament, He used heathen nations to try and 'wake up' His people. When the prophets would try to warn them in advance, they were murdered.

Yes, and God also struck people down and allowed them to suffer and die from horrible diseases several places in the Bible.

Would that justify us going into the Hospitals where people have terminal diseases and tell them their own sins are to blame for what's happened to them?
We could easily point out verses in the Bible that are examples of this, just as some on this board are doing.

This simple-minded application of scripture by those who think the Bible is there for them to judge others with, especially those who have just suffered a horrible crime or misfortune...is reprehensible and meanspirited.

I do not judge others. I do judge actions. And I am not offended when someone calls me a sinner. The last time I checked, I am and so is everyone else on this earth. The fact is we sacrifice our children and any scruples we might have to the god of Self. This is a fact and one I'm certain God is not pleased with.

That's exactly right. 'See I told you so' is not a Christ-like emotion, it's sick and self-gratifying.
