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 !
