i understand this has been addressed already by some but I wanted you Paul
to know that if you do not put your response first on you post I think you
forgot to do it. When you reverse them it is just plain wrong. I suspect you
do not care but I do not read you posts...just wanted you to know...and
anyone else who does this.

It's funny that the scenario of God getting miffed about the Wests
decadent, godless, libertine ways and stepping back to allow Islamic
terrorists to blow the crap out of us is not substantially different
from how those same terrorists would describe the situation.  Except
that it's Allah, and you get virgins as a reward.

Were the Twin Towers a bastion of godlessness?  Were they a libertine's
haven?  I thought they were office blocks for the most part with
international offices from all sorts of countries, East as well as
West.  Oh yeah, and some restraunts.  If God really wanted to show that
he CARED, maybe he could have picked a better target?  Excuse me, could
have allowed the Islamic terrorists to pick a better target?

Extreme fundamentalist Christianity and extreme fundamentalist Islam
apparently have more in common than I had first suspected.

If any of you that believe this sort of thing could please ask your God
to stop CARING so much, that would be great.  Then we could go back to
our downward spiral of videogame-playing and having (gasp!) sex in peace
without the fears of being blown up at our offices.  Thank you.

Paul
