So we are now broadening the scope of our discussion.

I thought you already did that when you said:

Well yes, the hand of God is on everything. I agree. But we all know that doesn't mean trouble will not come our way before He returns.

Or did I misconbobulate you yet again? As I said, I see no contradiction between a providential God and the sufferings that many Christians experience around the world. Did all the Christians who were martyred in the Colosseum go to their deaths thinking God had abandoned them? Of course not. In fact, I think belief in a providential God is most relevant and comforting at precisely those times when Christians are suffering the worst persecutions the world can throw at them.

What example can you give us as to what these other countries should have done to drive back the hatred?

You mean those countries where Christians are persecuted the most? How long do you have to read my tirades against western foreign policy towards those countries, and especially the successive governments of your own country? For example, do you think it helps our cause that both your country and mine are selling arms to one of the most corrupt and repressive regimes on earth so they can bomb the cr*pola out of one of the poorest? 

That's Saudi Arabia and Yemen in case the news hasn't yet made it to your lamestream media. Or do you think it's a good idea to drop a drone on a wedding party in Afghanistan? Or a meeting of the village elders? Do you know of a strategy that is better calculated to guarantee a steady stream of terrorists who are willing to blow themselves up in a busy western shopping mall? Coz I sure as heck don't. If your govt. spent just a tiny fraction of its industrial military complex budget on foreign aid instead of reigning down death, terror and destruction across the world, that would be a start. If your govt. stopped being the biggest war criminal on the planet while hypocritically accusing others of meddling in its affairs, stopped wreaking death and destruction on every country that refuses to bow the knee to Pax Americana, that would help. 

I'm glad to hear you're so well informed about the sufferings of the Christians in these countries, but let's test your knowledge on just one 'small' crime perpetrated by your country in just one small corner of the world. You are no doubt aware that your country killed one third of the N. Korean population during the Korean war, right? But did you also know that your country used chemical weapons against them, illegal even then under international law? That the leading US scientist who formulated those chemical agents had such pangs of conscience about what his country did with them that he was threatening to go public? That the only recourse left open to your secret services was to arrange his 'suicide'? What's that? Conspiracy theory you say? Hmmm........

Were you 'remotely aware' of any of that? If you were, do you wonder why N. Korea is now a basket case of a country? Do you wonder why it is part of the 'axis of evil' under the control of a dysfunctional trigger-happy tyrant who is quite happy to liquidate members of his own family? Then wonder no more. Why should we be so surprised that these countries then take it out on their own Christian populations? Aren't they all just puppets of the warmongering western regimes that have declared war on these countries? Yes, we all get tarred with the same broad brush strokes as long as our govts continue to conduct illegal wars against them. 

Don't like my analysis? Then you can always find refuge in that old canard that I'm doing little more than spouting liberal/leftist propaganda. That is your go-to defence against the truth, is it not? But fear not. God is still in control, and one day He will repay your warmongers in kind. Vengeance, after all, is His. Meantime, it belongs to those who choose to defend themselves by lashing out against Christians.

Well, you did ask, didn't ya?
