A police officer allows a cry for help from a nearby rape victim go unanswered.
A parent watches as their child plays in the middle of a busy road.
A friend lets another friend drive drunk in the middle of the day through a residential zone.
A government allows its territory to be annexed by an enemy who murders the current residents, without so much as a word of protest.
Would you respect these people for allowing freedom of choice, or would you condemn them for monsterous negligence on their part? Doesn't power and station give them responsibility?
... if you're not sure why this question is in the religion section, please just give it a little more thought.

hi, sturdy factor. there have been some mid time period democrats that were elected to make certain that justice is carried out through impeaching bush and putting a end to the unlawful occupation now taking position in Iraq. even with the undeniable fact that, Nancy Pelosi, has the concept that she is popular with more desirable helpful than just about all of those who positioned her and her team in workplace. She claims that she and dems are doing what they were positioned in workplace for. . . . . . someone is mendacity! I hate to assert this, yet so long because the democratic party is being run through the bleeding coronary heart liberal, Nancy Pelosi, who's abilities lie in doing protest March's and non violent sit down-ins, we are now unlikely to make certain bush be charged with something, and the word, "Do no longer something democrats looks to nevertheless be authentic". I more desirable helpful end previously i fairly get going! staggering question, Darryl S.

How interesting!!!! One answerer took the stance that you are talking about god. Upon first reading it, I took the stance that you were talking about xtians trying to make their religion into law. Whew! Good question!!!!!!!!!!!!
Negligence of this sort is intolerable no matter what belief system you cling to or whom you are speaking of. There is so much to ponder within this question! I'm gonna be stewing on it all day.
Thanx!

You are demanding human qualities and limitations of an eternal God.
It will all become clear to you, if you seek God. If you do not seek, you may just be angry for your entire life, and your anger will have been needless because it would have arisen out of profound misunderstanding.
It is not for us to judge God. It is not for us to fully know and understand his purposes. It is not for us to superimpose what we think we know about life on this planet upon the creator of all things.
I'll also answer in another way: God is not neglecting us. But to know this, you must seek him.

That's why I try to spread the word og God, becuase he has told me to do so. If you were about to be hit by a car, I'd push you out of the way. The same way, I don't want you to burn in hell.

The short answer is, the pains and trials of this life cannot compare with the joy and glory of our life in eternity. It will all be worth it.

I agree completely and see where you coming from.
We are not only accountable for what we do, but what we allow to be done.
