Great, so he is punishing the people there.

What a loving god.
What a considerate god.
What a forgiving god.

I personally believe this is the judgement of Iraq, with the current situation there.

I'm sure there are a lot of people praying he would step in at the moment. Does his conspicuous absence not make you stop and think?

Because God will come into the situation if called upon.

I've got a confession to make:

I forgot to bring my MP3 player to work yesterday. However, I have it today and will listen to the track at lunchtime.

So does that mean you treat December 25th the same as any other day? Would you be prepared to go to work on it etc?

Also, you still haven't answered my original question:

Why does God mess with our will and sort out the problems in Iraq?

It's Catholic, note the Mass part, so as a Protestant Christian I don't follow Christmas.

Not Christmas, strictly. The time etc is, but strictly speaking Christmas (ie Christ mass) isn't.

Christmas and Easter are both pagan festivals.
