MissX...thank you! Now that verse is what those bombers are holding on to...i can't imagine my God to be so favorable, and ordering to kill those who do not believe. Aren't those believers also a creation of God? Why do you think God would order His creation to kill one of his creation for the sake of forcing them to believe? What is the essence of FREEWILL given by God if he will SMITE those who do not believe??
It's like...I give you FREEWILL BUT...hmmm...
The God being portrayed in your books is a god who favors a few...a god who kills those who do not obey him... i can't imagine my father telling me to kill my sister because she don't follow his rules!
Can you imagine telling it to your children, to kill each other if they did not obey the Father?
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
