Does anyone see even a modicum of believability in this post?

A Christian fb friend of mine posted this heading, with the comment “That’s RIGHT!! There is a difference in our God & theirs.”

My knee jerk reaction, of course, was “LOL!”

Then someone posted ” Our God says Live, their says Die”

I said, ” Ya’ll do realize this is satire…it’s a joke.”

My “friend” said, ” It’s the Jewish Telegraph newspaper. No, it’s not satire. A second newspaper reported similar http://shoebat.com/.../israel-miracle-gaza-strip-hamas.../." Walid Shoebat is a born-again-Jesus-loving-once-Jewish-killing-muslim. He knows what he’s talking about when it comes to muslim’s.

At that point I realized they were freaking serious! I was really tired after a looong day of babysiting rug rats and I could feel my blood pressure just starting to rise. I posted “Well, considering Muslims don’t believe we HAVE a God, it’s kind of a weird thing to have supposedly said. They do not recognize our god, just like we don’t recognize theirs. Plus, apparently God (Christ) is protecting JEWS, who don’t even believe that Christ was who he was.
So why isn’t he protecting everyone? Why didn’t he protect the defenseless women and children when we wiped out entire villages in Vietnam? Why not all the people in Trade Towers. Why didn’t he divert those airplanes?
Exactly who does God decide to protect? If our God says “Live,” _he must have some criteria about who is allowed to live.

And the preaching started, all very long versions of “I don’t know. You have to ask Him. Just believe in Him and he will be your savior….”

I walked away then.

This kind of thing would have driven me crazy even when I was a practicing Christian. How can they even find a scrap of anything to believe in this article?
