There is no difference in my mind between someone or something (i.e. nature, disease etc.) and the person who uses it to spread fear, treat it as if it were "God punishing" and making a political/social statement using the dead as examples..... (all of which I believe the above preacher did).

If I didn't care if all sinners died and was part of 'gods plan' then I'd be a bit of a loon.

Not a loon just not a true follower of Christ, for in his teachings we are supposed to care about ALL people and wish them no harm.

If I wanted all sinners to die and killed them myself I'd be a pyschopathic killer.

Or an abortion clinic bomber.

In one you are expect god to take care of the problem, in the other you are gods agent of destruction.

True, but in both scenarios you are hoping and "praying" that your "fortunes" are turned and you are looked better upon by God....... even though you are in effect doing so at another's untimely demise. (Which again in Christ's teachings is frowned upon by HIM.)

Who would you rather live next to as a non-believer Techoya?

I know you didn't ask me, but my answer is neither, and if I HAD to choose I would take the overt killer and not the prayer....
Why?
Because with the prayer he's untrustworthy and would be slimy and 2 faced enough to "stab" you in your back multiple times and lie to your face about it every time..
However with the killer you know exactly where you stand the whole time.... or at least I like the odds that I would better.
