For which reason did the Holocaust and all other genocide and ethnic cleansings occur?

HIV and AIDS are a virus.

Only people can commit sins - not bacteria, virus's or any disease.

Not sure why you would expect to find this information in the Bible??

Oh, really?

So. All the people who have contracted HIV/AIDS but NEVER had promiscuous, unmarried sex..... Are they a part of this "punishment" too? Or are they a (God's voice) "Oops, sorry about that." by-product?

Tell us where all the babies and transfusion recipients fit in with God's plan to punish. This I have to hear.

Six million put in the ovens during the holocaust. Wouldn't you think that God would punish the Nazi's? It's always sexual immorality. Man can kill with abandon. Hitler. Pol Pot. But if you sleep with someone outside of marriage God's gonna send a plague. Got it.

It all started with bestiality if I am not mistaken and God punished mankind by creating this disease.

We reap what we sow, and if we do not heed Gods warning or listen to her rebuke then she will mock when calamity over takes us, over takes us like a storm. Then they will seek her but they will not find her.
OH

MY

GOD

Please save us from the ignorance said and done in your name!

Amen.

For God allows us to possess free will, and God allows the Devil to exists.

"I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things." - Isaiah 45:7
Awesome! I personally like Shiva - esp. the more fearsome attributes. Gods who can't create disaster are not really Gods.

No, they are still Gods, but they are also maniacs, massive douches, and possibly sadists.

Maybe the fundie response to this would be that God is simply giving them a faster path to Heaven.

I corrected it - I meant to say 'can't.'

That has actually been offered as a reason for things like the slaughter of babies by the Isralelites at the command of YHWH.

Absolute, childish silliness.
