Just a Simple Question
Now that Russia is targeting civilians, schools, homes, and hospitals in Ukraine, it is apparent to me that we are witnessing an ethnic cleansing action.
Some say Putin wants to save Christian values and Western Civilization. I’m not sure how you do that by killing Ukrainian Christians, and Jews.
Now some say that Ukrainians are corrupt which implies that they are getting what they deserve. That’s fairly odd unless you believe that Russia and Putin are not corrupt.
That brings me to the question that goes back to the old belief from some so-called Christians that the Jews were being punished by God by being sent to the German death camps.
I heard that from a Fundamentalist pastor one afternoon and I asked him: What sin did Anne Frank commit that merited her death in a German concentration camp? I was met with silence.
So, what sins have Ukrainian civilians committed, especially children, to deserve death at the hands of Putin?

Deserve? Yes. They should have stopped the war.
