    What's wrong? Being Christian is all about being righteous while others are not righteous.
    1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

    1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.
    I do my best to warn them but they do not listen. Also there has to be a reason why God has chosen to have people be informed of His will and Jesus' deeds and temporary death for our sins by getting people to write it down and pass it on by word of mouth and transcribing what was written down. Given that restriction getting the word out over the last 2000 years to about 25% of the world's population so they take it remotely seriously is pretty good going. I just don't know what that reason is, but that's OK because I don't need to!

    Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

    Yeah - and that's perfectly fine.
    But killing the vast majority of people in the world just because the word of God hasn't reached them yet is where I draw the line.
    Why would God create and allow all these beings to live, just to send most of them to hell?
    It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
    For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
    Ecclesiastes 7:5-6

      Were you not able to read? We're not meant to know why God does stuff.

      Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

      His reasons are beyond us. Do you honestly think you are the first person to be outraged on this issue over the last 2000 years? God still keeps on doing it, though, so it must be right.

      GLORY!

      Isaiah 34:6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

      John 5:46,47 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

          See! The more you stop trying to figure out what God is actually up to and if His intentions are benign or just random and whimsical you start to find proper peace with the Lord and just do His bidding regardless of if it makes sense or makes you sometimes feel a little ill inside.

          When I'm beating my children I often see their little crying faces and hear their whimpers and feel like sparing the rod. But then I remember what God said on the matter and I have new resolve.

          It's the same when I find out that someone I had hitherto found to be a pleasant and likeable chap is really a hideous homosexual. I find strength in our Lord's words when it comes to shunning him. Who knows what peril my soul and those of my children would be in without our Lord to guide us!

            Brother you are so benevolent by just shunning a homer - personally I would prefer to follow the Bible and stone them to death. Unfortunately our wishy washy liberal fluffy bunny politicians won't allow this, it's such a shame. I wish I had your inner strength.

            Leviticus 20:13
            If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
