You call the dead children "punks." Do you know any more about them than that they were teases? Were they characterized in the Bible as having done anything bad except the teasing that got God mad? Killing-mad.

Is it discussed whether their grieving families were also deserving of terrible suffering? Or is that assumed to be immaterial?

If you had a child who teased a neighbor and the neighbor released his pet bear (or pit bull) to kill your child, that would be God's will, presumably. Right? Would you be so sanguine about it? Call your own child a "punk"?

EDIT: I've surfed on, and see I'm plowing thoroughly plowed land. Sorry for the repetitiveness, all.
