Indeed you are correct. It is easy for me to comment on this having grown up in a country that does not see these sorts of things. I am sure that those on the inside have a very different perspective and I would never attempt to make light of those happenings.

I can see how it would be very easy to question how God does allow such things to happen; why didn't God stop the Nazis for example? But maybe he did, because there are very few moments in biblical stories where god does directly intervene; In the folk tale of Noah, god gives him the manual but he still has to build it himself.
