The will of God : Comments
By Everald Compton, published 11/12/2013Since the dawn of time, millions have been killed by those who claimed to have acted in God's name, but the truth is that every single death has been the unjustifiable action of a violent person.

'Philippines recently, he has the power, then the people left standing attend their church to pray to the all powerful God who caused the disaster in the first place.
yep and people are stupid enough to believe they are less sinful than those who died in the Phillipines. Makes you marvel at how patient God is with such defiance and sinfulness. Posted by runner, Wednesday, 11 December 2013 11:43:41 PM

Everald's essay is a good example of how any good-hearted individual in the "21st" century should practice their religion and simultaneously build bridges of ecumenical understanding with members of other faith traditions.

Jon J you state " But as long as you carry an official banner for an all-knowing, all-powerful God then you'll have to wear the consequences of that belief, as unpalatable as they may be to a modern enlightened mind."
In Islam we believe in a God that is all-knowing and all-powerful, as well as all-merciful, all-compassionate and the all-wise and indeed, unlike our author, Al-Muntaqim (the Avenger) "the One who breaks the back of the arrogant, the One who severely punishes the perpetrators and presses punishment upon the tyrants." (Al-Ghazali "Ninety-Nine Names of Allah) Would you be prepared to elaborate on your critique? Posted by grateful, Thursday, 12 December 2013 1:39:52 PM

I am amazed at the logic of people, if their supposed God is omnipotent, he could have stopped that disaster in the Philippines recently, he has the power, then the people left standing attend their church to pray to the all powerful God who caused the disaster in the first place.
