Beep beep! de Hans, K0HB Most Reverend Keeper of the Codes of Q Since this subject has been brought up, I'll admit it - I am an atheist. Here are MY observations, however off-topic they may be... With the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, we saw thousands of survivors thanking god for their lives, even though they've lost everything. I haven't seen one survivor blaming god for the death of innocents in this disaster, not to mention the thousands that have been left homeless and displaced from their families, not yet knowing whether they're dead or alive. Yet, they still thank god for their lives. If a madman forced you out of your house by gun point, and then burned your house to the ground while you watched, would you thank him for sparing your life? What good is life if your lifestyle, quality of life, and means of sustanation are suddenly gone? It makes no sense to me why people would appeal to god and praise god, yet not scratch their heads in confusion when said god anally rapes New Orleans, but say that it is "god's will". Believers will say that I must not question "god's will", but I SHALL question the will of such a god in the hopes that some right-wing bible thumpers will re-think their god's position in the wake of such disasters. But I doubt that is going to happen. Today, there are people going to prayer-fests in just about every church in the country. They'll do their praying, get back into their big, gas-sucking SUVs, and drive back to their fancy homes with the smug satisfaction that they actually did something to help the survivors of this disaster. Is all of this praying supposed to cause some big hand to come down out of the sky and supply those affected by this tragedy with food, water, clothes, medicine and shelter until the government and volunteer donations can be supplied. Somehow, I doubt it. I am ashamed of my government, and I don't care who is offended by my comments. I'll question and bash anyone and any god I damn well please and make no apologies for it. I have had with the religious platitudes from politicians and community leaders on all levels of government. They invoke a non-existent supernatural deity so they can duck their responsibilities. They dragged their asses when it came to getting the job done and lives were lost as a result. It's time to fire all of them, starting with their murdering, cruel, vindictive god and working the way down. Welp, Ted, at least you didn't try to bash Bush over the hurricane. |
