God Spinners and grief counselors


            We can't get through tragedies anymore without the help

    of God spinners and grief counselors. With " The Station " tragedy

    in West Warwick, R. I . , they are again coming out of the woodwork

    like so many cockroaches.

               What shallow preachers who never think much about the

    nature of EVIL until it is personally experienced. Christ the

    Savior has more credibility, I guess, when life resembles those

    idiotic TV commercials : smiling faces, lying faces !

              Can't  ten thousands years of written history tell our

    cheap, dime store preachers something about the credibility of a

    PERSONAL God,  God as general manager of the universe ?

                 And whatever God exists, does He need the services of

    a PR firm ?  Mostly simple minded Christian preachers who see

    pure HORROR as evidence of HIS profound love.

                Can Jesus as Savior be hazardous to our sanity ? Of

    course it is ridiculous to be angry at an indifferent universe or

    the God of Newton or Einstein .

               As for those secular grief counselors insisting that

    we grieve by the numbers, they are ALL despicable charlatans !

              I prefer Thomas Aquinas or St. Augustine. They at least

    had a Dark Age appreciation of everyday horror.

               The God Spinners are like those propagandists for

    capitalism who tell the poor and oppressed workers that everything

    is for the best in the best of all possible social orders.

                " In God we trust "  indeed !
