Killed the whole family? What a devine thing to do. I am sure Jesus will bless those pilots and those leaders with love.

@Ylg - So, does your Jesus endorse killing and violence? Instead of blessing people from heaven, why can’t he actively stop wars and prevent innocent men, women, and children from being killed? That would be more useful, wouldn’t it? Or is he powerless, with the only thing he can do being to “bless” people from the comfort of heaven? Is he still “testing” people?
