I have been a little struggling with religious faith after Christianity was highjacked by the pseudo Christians several years ago, but I'm having a greater problem believing in any kind of god since the CEO of BP Oil seems now to be the higher power.
I'm not going to mince words here, and I'm probably going to piss off the KOS people since they're never happy unless you go on for days and use hundreds of words to explain your position.
But this one is really simple: There cannot possibly be a God that would allow creatures to be tortured like the wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. If there were a God, he would miraculously guide them out of the muck to a safer haven. If there were a God, he would have protected their marshes. If there were a God, he would miraculously stop the oil gusher. And let us not kid ourselves. This is not a "spill."
I am completely heartsick about all the innocent creatures who go out everyday, expecting to find their world the way it was only to find man has so mucked it up for them. And they don't know what to do other than what they do. And so they end up oil-soaked. The birds cannot fly. The turtles cannot breathe, nor can the dolphins or the fish or any other living thing. They cannot eat. They cannot feed their young. And so they all end up dead.
Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the innocent people harmed in this tragedy too. But they can react and draw back. Critters just do as they have always done, trusting their environment to always be the same.
As Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, LA said, "What the hell are we doing?!"
Lovely work, mankind. I suggest we baptize the CEO of BP by taking him down to the ocean in Louisiana and dunking his head in the waters his company fouled.
And we worried about nukes and terrorists.
