yeah both are wrong. I wonder, if any among the killed or wounded are truly devote Christians? I'd like to hear from them. I mean if god is punishing the people of Hatti because they turned to Satan, what do the truly devote Christians of Hatti think of god punishing them along the those in Hatti who are not Christian? Surely god is smart enough to think of a way to just punish the non Christians who turned to Satan without punishing the true Christians who did not turn to Satan.?....
the standard answer that many christians will give to that is : "well it's all part of god's great design, and we are not meant to understand, blah blah"

this is a man I would've loved to meet, but I never had a chance to, as I "discovered" him a year after his passing, and I live in another continent anyway:
