Life & Death on Easy Street

From the headlines, you would think that some great political figure had been assassinated. Two people out of six billion persons died a natural death recently, and they died because modern medical science (spell that “money”) couldn’t keep them alive. Right wing mollycoddled Christians are throwing their usual epithets of “murder” when opining on Terri Schiavo, and they put on their best sad face for pope what’s-his-name and say, “Isn’t that sad?” for the both of them.

You would think these two were saints or heroes or something. What did Terri do except go comatose? The pope, why you would think he had done something for the Christian church besides live in luxury at the expense of the souls he duped. So now we have the nauseating task of listening to false eulogies from the lips of worldly minded Christians who have nothing better to do than judge the actions of others, keeping themselves looking lily white with their feigned concern for persons whom they will never meet, while doing nothing themselves to keep men out of hell. I hope Terri made it to heaven. She probably was hoping that by being a Catholic she would join pope what’s-his-name. She probably will (which is not a good thing if we believe in the Protestant God).

Her husband: he is a servant of his own self interests and shouldn’t be condemned. In the respect of being greedy, he is the same as many of the people who will read this. Let’s stop the feminist politically correct platitudes coming from our lips. Let us look around our immediate vicinity and see the gross sin that passes as respectable. Let’s do something about it besides say we are tolerant, non-judgmental and loving. We are surrounded by well-fed -and cared-for neighbors, even though some of them are on life support now. They have had their food and fun and now must shortly face judgment.

If we help someone physically, let us look to the poor, miserable, starving, diseased people who will never have the luxury of being hooked up to machines. Let us feed them and give them the gospel, seeing as our fellow Americans have plenty of food and time to kill and want little to do with a God who calls them to account. Let us warn our wicked countrymen that they will stand in front of God and give an account for their actions, and that this will be based on their opportunity (money, time, Christianity) to do good and yet did it not. Or... let’s go to Disneyland on All-Church Day!
