Think of all the terrible things done in gods name. manifest destiny, the crusades, the inquisition, african slavery, native american slavery, native american genocide, bosnian genocide, irish genocide, the war that we are in now (united states).

now we are dealing with a god who condones the use of war in his name. Maybe that answers my questions right off the bat.

but I figure one of the things done in the name of jesus, the klu klux klan maybe, must be rubbing god the wrong way. I hope.

so why no huge sign that "these things are not what I want?" from god.

Imagine if someone was commiting attrocities in your name? wouldnt you want to set the record strait? both to clear your name, and also to draw more people towards you? since if people are not drawn towards you, you let satan drag them to hell?
