I was thinking about this for the past few days. Most Christians say that god can do whatever he wants because he is god and it is for his glory. So if god became so angry today over the condition of the world (ya know all the sin and stuff) and decided to slay all of the firstborn children in America what would you think? Would you be rejoicing and praising god for his works? If you have children would you be okay with the fact that the first one was smitten solely for the reason that god was miffed at us? Just curious.

If that were to happen, I wouldn't be here posting in this thread. It's a good thing I'm not a Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim.
I guess I'd be lucky cause I am number 2!

Well that is obvious Tony! Because most of us on C D live here. It would have to be personal....if it happened in say Indonesia we'd be like "yeah that's so sad....let's go to the mall..." But if it happened here it would be a totally different scenerio.

No no! I didn't say anything about lamb's blood. God is so wissed off that he decides not to be so merciful and gracious and do the whole door post lamb's blood thing. Just staight up slaying time.
