Screams of hatred spill out over the airwaves. Through the computer lines they are sent. God has commanded me is the call to persecute a neighbor. Submit to what I believe God is or die. Horrific acts are committed and millions are robbed and displaced. In the name of religious ideologies, these things are done. Who is this God of which people speak? Why does he not show himself? One group says he spoke to them, and another say he told them what to do. Let actions be the bench mark of whether or not a God is just, let us see for ourselves. If what you say is true, then teach it openly, and you will not need a gun or a sword. Yet fire and destruction still are brought in the name of God, by people who's perception has become twisted to the point of lunacy. If God is in truth a judgmental God, then can he not speak for himself?
