He's a Trump supporter, so I suppose his responses have something to do with justifying Trump's attack on Iran. We should make a special exception for Trump and say he should go to Heaven for "draining the swamp" of people who would rather negotiate with Iran, I guess.

He's trying to divert away from questions that he can't handle.

If there is a Hell, do you think someone should go to Hell for starting a war but not for disobeying the speed limit or not going to church? Yes or no?

That's been answered.
Christians pray for personal strength so that God’s will can be done, with the understood caveat that God’s will is often mysterious to the limited capacity of humans.

Doing great harm preconceives what God want's done.

So, there goes that old habit of second-guessing God, right out the window.
That's the answer.

It's up to you to understand it.
