  Wrong. You simply misunderstand the meaning of the scriptures. This statement is in reference to God's fundamental fairness and love towards all, with the admonition that we should love our enemies, indeed have love for everyone.

  Further, you misunderstand the scripture to be some literal indication of rainfall patterns & climate when it is simply a metaphorical reference to God's righteousness.

  Use your brain.

  Think thats a bit harsh? People have been arguing about the interpretation of that book of mythology for many, many years now. How can you be so quick to pounce on some one else's idea?

  It's funny how every thing that makes no sense in the Bible is 'just metaphorical', isn't it!

  Perhaps the whole book is so metaphoric that it means absolutely nothing and absolutely nothing makes any sense, but that would be OK because, it's 'just metaphoric'.

  Uh, excuse me? That quote has been lifted out of context. Perhaps you could exercise some actual analytical skills to the verses before and after? If you do you might discern the meaning of the text.

  If the meaning is God is fair then that is a lie too.

  Again, where is the evidence that the bible god is 'treating' anyone, fairly, or otherwise? In other words, it must first be proven that the bible god is doing something to people, then it can be examined as to it's fairness.

  Dear Bozos:

  In these verses, the statement is being made by a speaker, who references in metaphorical fashion, their observation (or if you like, belief) that God makes it rain upon both the righteous and the unrighteous, in order to support their imploring the hearer to exercise the qualities of love or mercy or kindness or fairness in imitation of God.

  Please take note that the statement may or may not be factually true - it is only the speaker's belief or observation. Please further take note that the statement is not one of science - other than a logical device within the speaker's rhetoric.

  If a person has faith in the Bible or otherwise believes that it is God's word, then these scriptures may have significance and applicable meaning.

  If one only believes these scriptures to be merely literature, one may still observe the above - which is clearly evident to anyone applying fundamental literacy skills aka "a brain" - without getting their panties in a wad over whether there are any greater implications - and indeed, it would seem contradictory for nonbelievers to assign the weight of divinity and yet claim to be a nonbeliever.

  The speaker in question is Jesus, correct? Should we expect him to be factually correct?

  ABSOLUTELY AMAZING how this is the case. As soon as a GLARING hole is spotted it is filled with either the "metaphorical" argument or the "Only true believers understand the meaning"... in other words the mind warped masses of Dubs who are unable to think for themselves thanks to the guilt they have pumping through their veins.
