The Bible isn't even a good book of fiction. My parents and in-laws are religious and I can talk circles around the Bible. It is the largest scam on earth. Not that I want to start a debate, everyone can have their own opinion on it, but I think George Carlin said it best: youtube.com

<Christians (me being one)believe that the Bible is the Word of God (not necessarily verbatim),including the Old Testament.> That's a gross overgeneralization of the situation OMHO. Most Chirstians I know believe the bible is a compilation of the teachings (or whatever) of various "prophets" (OT) and Jesus Christ (NT). Further, the importance of these figures and the "truth" or "weight" given their teachings varies depending on who the prophet was and who each individual is... AND of course was put together (sifted out) by the INSTITUTION of the Catholic Church. This "word of god" business is in the eye of the beholder. DAK

"My interpretation of what God would say is that the German Christians allowed His people and their brothers to die and thus should be punished." Yes, especially thus God Damned German Children!!! Boy, did they deserve it, especially the teny, tiny ones that perished in the fire bombings, for they were obviously evil!!! It is so bizarre that people who profess to believe in the teachings of Jesus can rationalize anything away as the workings of GOD: ("Well, they died. God won't let innocents die. Therefore, they must have been evil. Therefore their grotesque, painful deaths MUST be the will of GOD!!) Simply Bizarre
