Comments on: Why We Need to Be Pro-Israel http://www.echozoe.com/archives/516 Writings, Opinions, and Podcast from a Conservative Christian Worldview Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:50:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Andrew http://www.echozoe.com/archives/516/comment-page-1#comment-154 Andrew Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.echozoe.com/?p=516#comment-154 I'm not denying that it is a good thing to be pro-Israel, but I don't think this argument flies. One of the major points of Job is that it is impossible to conclude from suffering that someone is wicked. Also, from a statistical standpoint, there are "wicked things" and disasters of one sort or another happening nearly every day on that list you posted. Rather than concluding that there is some specific correlation between events and wickedness, I would just conclude that in this world today, there is a lot of wickedness and a lot of natural (and unnatural) disasters.
