A Christian with an open mind. Refreshing.Sometimes I get so tired of the arrogance displayed by most Christians.

On that note, I was wondering...

Christians say that the Lord is their shepard. Well, if I was a shepard, and I fell asleep, and a wolf came around and ate one of the sheeps, I wouldn't be doing a very good job. Today I opened the paper and saw that in Nicaragua and Honduras, there are thousands and thousands dead because of Hurricane Mitch.

So two things come to mind.

One: Does their god make and control the hurricanes? If so, he is responsible for killing thousands of people, including children. That doesn't sound like a very responsible "shepard" to me.

Two: Does he not control the hurricanes, but did nothing as the mudslides started happening, as thousands were dieing? Does he just not care? Is he a shepard that has fallen asleep and wolves are attacking his sheep and he is not paying attention?

Craig.
