Maybe the Father was protecting people by sending a machine gun preacher?

After all, He sent bears to eat little children who were mocking one of his prophets - why not a machine gun preacher?

This raises a great topic for debate. I mean, we all know that bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people.
The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust alike. The Bible also tells us to remain strong in the faith, even during tribulation periods.
And, yet on the other hand, the Bible promises that God will protect those who love and serve him.
Seems like a conundrum wrapped in a dichotomy.......topped with a paradox.

i agree with your assessment. i would also add all of the unanswered prayer. does god intervene in every individual situation? i think we are on our own and must fight and defend justice, mlk style.

Re: Machine Gun Preacher
Yea but it doesn't matter what the Bible says because it is all just literature and poetry and we are all on our own to fend for ourselves in this life according to _____. In which case I guess Christianity is just a farce.
