Random thoughts, Monday, 6/29/'15
Heard a relative of one of the SC shooting victims on tv last night say the 'strength of their Christian faith is being shown in their willingness to forgive the shooter...' The interviewer then asked what justice should be brought upon Dylan Roof. "Death penalty", he says emphatically.
No one even blinked at the obvious irony. Forgiveness by execution, just how Jesus taught, back in the day. Violates one of those 'Commandments' too, if I recall.
The tragedy of the event aside, I guess it's only atheists and/or agnostics that ever ask why 'God'/prayer never seems to protect anybody, not even in 'His' own 'house'.
One of those Christian refugees out of war torn Libya(thanks Obama) was on a small boat across the Mediterranean to Italy the other week and also was drawn to praying to her God for protection on the perilous pilgrimage. Well, just so happened the other folks around her were all Muslim and their God told them to throw her overboard and let her drown to death, which they did. More irony and questions into the efficacy of prayer and 'or 'God'--or the timing thereof, at least.
Saw where one of those recent tornadoes was thundering threw a small Oklahoma town and one religious family decided to leave their home and seek shelter in their nearby church--for obvious 'reasons'. Well, the tornado skipped over their house and leveled the church, killing one and injuring the rest. I'm sure there's a religious lesson in that, somewhere.
One might wonder, on occasion, why 'God' created murder, war, and tornadoes, assuming 'He' created everything, but 'His' ways are probably much too 'mysterious' to expect any satisfactory reply.
Anyway....
