    Stories like this are why I laugh a little inside whenever someone tries to tell me there’s a good and just god somewhere out there.

      The “good and just God” is just going to make it up to all these people in the infinite afterlife, and inflict eternal suffering on the perpetrators!

      /s but some people genuinely believe this

      Original testament God was a vengeful, narcissistic fuck. So all of this kind of fits.

      And Christian God excuse is that this is all just part his plan and that he is testing faith.

      It’s all fucking stupid.

    Damn. Western tax dollars at work, rather than building/maintenance of infrastructure, proper health care, proper education, because those things are socialism. Isn’t Israel socialist, for the select?
