I can't believe I am going to say this, but, I too was disturbed by those comments made by Falwell and Robertson. We actually agree on something, Ed.
What a sad misinterpretation of the love God has for all of his creations. God is God...he is not human. He is not led by the emotions that govern us as humans, we can not insult him, he will never lift his hand of protection as if he needed to "punish" us. That is not who or what God is.
This happened because of our human free will. Free will to be judgemental, unloving, and filled with hatred and intolerance. The people of the world who choose to incorporate those feelings/traits into their being as all the terrorist factions of the world do are at fault.
As someone who has a deep core faith in God I weep at, once again, the tragic misrepresentation of his true loving supernaturalness which we as humans can not fully fathom.
"Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
