By making them suffer painful deaths at the hand of a mass murderer's bullets? EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THAT CHURCH SUFFERED INJURIES. No one was spared. That kind of wholesale massacre has not been seen since Sodom!
And God did nothing.
That leaves only three possibilities: 1: The church was wholly evil; 2: God is evil; 3: There is no God.
No, there is a fourth possibility: there is no God who intervenes in temporal affairs to remove human suffering, but there is a God who entered into time to share human suffering, dying a far more painful death than a gunshot wound -- lacerations from a whip, puncture wounds, and gradual asphyxiation ending in pulmonary edema -- to transform suffering into a means of union with Him and to conquer death, rising again on the third day.
Last I checked, Baptists, like us Orthodox Christians, worship that God. It's too bad they don't like us commemorate their holy martyrs, or they'd have a new lot to add to their calendar (and no, we Orthodox don't wait for a "case to be made" and miracles to be confirmed like the Latins -- read the Life of St. Peter the Aleut or the Life of St. Herman of Alaska to see what I mean. I commemorate the Holy New Martyrs of Beslan on September 3 without any Holy Synod telling me to.)
