"Then the LORD said, `The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous ..."<BR/><BR/>>Is he a cruel monster to everybody except Abraham?<BR/><BR/>And also read Genesis 18:25 that the God of the Bible is "the Judge of all the earth" and therefore what He does *is* "right":<BR/><BR/>"Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"<BR/><BR/>Also, the God of the Bible gives "life to everything" (including the wicked residents of Sodom) in the first place: <BR/><BR/>Nehemiah 9:6. "You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."<BR/><BR/>So if the God you criticise is not: 1) "the Judge of all the earth" who *must* "do right"(Genesis 18:25); and 2) "the LORD" who "give[s] life to everything"; then it is not the God of the Bible you are criticising, but a strawman erected by yourself.<BR/><BR/>Stephen E.
