The beheading of Christian CHILDREN has begun !

It eats at you to the point that you dismiss murdered children for a better topic. I call it an unhealthy obsession.

 

where have I dismissed the murder of these innocent children, that are claimed to have been killed in Gods name because they believed in that God differently then their killers do..

..

 

yes...but your anger and contempt seems to be towards the Christian God. Don't have enough passion to target the Islamic murderers. Perhaps it makes you uncomfortable to discuss Allah in a bad light. That religion isn't worth mentioning, is it. I'm sure the Muslims killing children are contemptuous about Christianity to. Why.......you both are. You. And them.

 

I was raised Christian, bible school, the works, so I suppose that is why those questions pop into my head when I see stuff like this

I don't have any questions about the murderers, they are crazy religious fanatic killers, period.... I do not think we will disagree on that one

you said "Perhaps it makes you uncomfortable to discuss Allah in a bad light. "

nope, not at all, where was Allah during all this? why would he allow people to kill children in his name and do nothign...?

does it make you uncomfortable to discuss where the Christian God was at a time like this? and why he did nothing?

I could also attack you and compare you to the terrorists like you just did me, but I will refrain....

I was not there, if I had the power of a God, you can bet I would of stopped it... wouldn't you?.. why would you expect less from another God
.

 

Murdering infidels is more typical than libs who are slaves to pro muslim political correctness are able to admit.

 

If you believe in God, how do you know he's not doing something? Wouldn't God's influence surpass such quaint human notions such as life, death, and suffering?

 

if he knows this is happening, how could he not do something?

I believe in a higher power, but not a God that answers prayers, that was my point on saying maybe deists got it right, maybe God has moved on to other things, were just not that important at this point, we have much growing to do, he just planted a seed

.

 

Again, how do you know "he" isn't doing something? Your thinking too much from a human perspective, not an omnipotent God perspective.

 

if it's all part of God's plan, then can you blame the players that make God's plan possible and help God fulfill his plan? no matter how horrible it seems?

that would be like blaming the water for killing everyone but a boatload when the real killer is God himself

what we do know, is he has done nothing here on earth to stop these atrocities from happening

.

 

No, you have to trust God as a child trusts their parent even though we do not fully understand the whole picture.

 

trust that this was part of God's plan?

I have to admit, I find that hard to believe....


.

 

If you want to put it that way and many people do.

I envision it as the greatest master chess player in the universe seeing an infinite number of moves ahead.

Whereas you and I can rarely see past our own noses.

Which makes it a little hard for some of us to appreciate God.

 

I'm not sure why you're asking me. I didn't say anything about "God's plan". I judge people on their actions outside the supernatural.

If you believe in a supernatural being, who are you to judge and say "he" has done nothing? I can imagine all sorts of actions that an omnipotent being could do and still have a little girl's headless corpse picture. "He" could snatch here spirit/soul to "heaven" so she didn't feel a thing. "He" could put her spirit/soul in a newborn and leave an empty husk for the murderers. "He" could turn her into an angel. "He" could turn her into a cute kitty cat who stars in a major motion picture about a cat from outer space. If you believe in such an omnipotent being, the possibilities are endless. Who you are you to judge omnipotence?

What we mere mortals can do is judge the behavior of our peers. Maybe that's God's plan.

 

that is a good way to think of it... I like this one too

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

maybe we just don't know what the human experience is we signed up for

maybe somehow the experience these children experienced make then stronger in their next life, or maybe it was a lesson from actions in a past life...who knows

Just as 0bama has ordered bombing of ISIS?

Well, that's convenient.

 

You are obviously too far gone. Never mind.

 

Are people in the US military mentally ill? Talk to a Marine and ask them what it means to die on the battlefield. They consider it an honor to die for their country. What’s the difference between our troops and a suicide bomber? Our troops, although willing to die, don’t go out of their way to die because they know being alive serves the purpose of completely their mission. Jihadists take things to the maximum extreme. Their willingness to die is really not much different from a mental standpoint; except they aim to send a message through their death. They are NOT mentally ill.

The US military are NOT suicide bombers..

 

I have never considered a Nuclear option to be even remotely tenable....until now.

 

Your troops like to bomb (libya), assassinate political opponents (iraq) and invade (afghanistan) any nation that has natural resources that they think are militarily weaker. Your troops have NO moral authority over 'islamists'.

 

Nuking Arbil isn't an option... The Americans, Sunni and Yazidi want to go home when this is over.. It would be like using a cannon to kill a cockroach.

 

You obviously didn't read my post completely. Please read it again.

What does that have to do with this topic? Please jump back over that shark and stay on topic. This discussion is not about the moral actions of our military. Start your own thread on that.

 

Unless something is done to completely destroy ISIS.....there will be nothing to come home to except death and brutality. We are witnessing the beginning of WWIII.

 

He took out a truck.

And that may have been given to isis by Obama when he thought they were going to overthrow Assad in Syria.

 

You were questioning 'suicide bombers' morality, so iquestioned americans, perfectly reasonable.

we have been witnessing that every decade since the end of WW II.
