Your belief or unbelief in God, has no effect over His existence. Shall we wish away all the horrors of the world, by pretending they don't exist, too?
No, only the ones that don't actually exist. Or, for the sake of argument, the ones that do not manifest themselves in any discernible manner.
I'd say you pretty much answered your own question as to what people of a certain persuation do - right there.
Persuasion, you mean? Drawing a parallel between humanities evil and God's wrath, is a stretch. Granted, both are a horror show, but that same deity you liken to Stalin made you. Formed you in the womb.
Recalling the school children videos singing the praises of Obama... reminded me of Germans pledging allegiance to Hitler rather than Germany... sort of like the DumboCrats are doing today... I don't think it a stretch at all. (Blaming Odumbo for the vodka enemas of college students... now THAT would be a stretch.)
