CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No, God's wrath is not a sin. It doesn't matter what "some people's standards" are. God doesn't judge by their standards.

Assuming that the other person's argument is that God can do whatever He wants with what He creates, then attacking said argument and using it to justify a horrible act? Yeah, I'd say that's a straw man.

Therein lies a good deal of the point.
I can say what I choose, but not "... was a God", but "is God". Some disagree, but that doesn't stop me saying it.
There should be an (at least implicit) "and rose again". Resurrection is central - without it he is no more than a martyr and sin, suffering and death are not dealt with.

All children have parents. However, it still isn't the parents who create the child. God creates the child.
Although, if I wanted to be clever, I guess I could say Joshua, the Son of Nun.
