And what was God doing on 9/11?
I mean really, what was so important that kept Him away from stopping the religious fanatics who highjacked a few planes and murdered thousands of people "in His name!"?
Oh wait, I know...he was watching the Spice Channel! No wonder He didn't do anything about it

No Lestat. Your blindness leads you astray. Some things may happen... so that some things may happen.
God is witness to the calamity of 9/11. Just as God is witness to your blasphemy. Whoever's sin was the cause of 9/11 will be judged for their actions, just as you will be judged for yours. 'nuff said...
As for the question of the topic, yes. Jesus explained how "... whoever wants to become great among you must be your servent, and whoever wants to be first must be slave to all." Mark 10:43-45
God's pact with man is that as long as man acts accordingly, then God will always be there to take care of man. He is our servent, and we are His servents. For those that believe in Him, it goes both ways.

Rhetorical nonsense!

Delusions of grandeur!
And who bear witnessed (and did nothing about it) the calamity of the First Born of Egypt being smoted by God?

Why don't you two kiss & makeup!
All your doing is spamming each other, calling each other degrading names. Can't you debate without doing that?
One's just as guilty as the other. I don't have to call your name you know who you are!

Yes Nobby. You are correct.
I will refrain from addressing the cretin with anything other than Lestat... or cretin... whichever comes first.

So, because 911 happened this is proof that God either doesn't care about the humans that were killed, or proof that he was too busy doing something else? Is that what you're saying Sir Lestat?
