Subject: Why Just America?
In case you’ve been too busy picketing to notice, the United States is
NOT the only country that is home to, and tolerant of, the gay
community. Why isn’t God taking his wrath out on them as well? How
can you say that the war is God’s answer to a sinful country when we
aren’t the only country that you would consider "sinful"? By your
standards, the only people ON EARTH that are spared God’s wrath are
your family and your followers. If He wanted to "solve the problem",
wouldn’t He just toss your church on an arc and wipe the rest of us
out?
I’m joining the Army in May to fight for this "sinful" country. Why?
Because it’s time to stand up for my country, to fight for Americans,
regardless of religion, sexual orientation, race, or creed. Regardless
of whether or not they committed adultery, regardless of whether or
not they’ve divorced, or had a child out of wedlock. It is not my
place, nor is it yours, to decide who will receive God’s mercy, and
who will burn in hell. It is God’s decision who He chooses to
forgive. Who are you to say that a soldier, gay or not, giving his
life to save the soldier beside him, will not receive God’s mercy for
making that incredible sacrifice? Why wouldn’t God spare him "eternal
fire" for saving a life?
And the saying "honey draws more flies than vinegar" certainly has
some bearing here. Don’t you think you could get your message across
without making so many enemies? Don’t you think that protesting
military funerals will only make your church look like the
hate-mongers the media is portraying you to be? How is adding to the
misery of the families going to help you get your point across?
There is a reason why your church has less than 100 members, most of
them being your family. The reason? The rest of us have common
sense.

Angry Amelie-
Answering the subject line only. We preach to the whole world! God has set that open door before us, and in His loving kindness permits us to do that job! How lucky are we! Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine!
We note that you are Exhibit A to establish that Doomed american young people are becoming soldiers fully realizing the moral condition of this country.
So, I suggest two things – watch out for IEDs and stop showing your envy.
It is ugly!
The time is short! The destruction is imminent! Get the Bible, read the words and OBEY. Fear God and OBEY Him, THAT is your duty.
