Why God hates terrorists more than gamblers - Los Angeles Times

Why God hates terrorists more than gamblers - Los Angeles Times

Blogger Thoughts: I'll assume the the LA Times was responsible for the headline, and thereby give Mr. Prager a pass on such an inane headline.

Now, let's go into the meat of his "Faith Front" article... what wisdom is to be bestowed?

[It is particularly sad when religious people depict God in a way that renders him less intelligent than his creations: "Sure, we humans think that murdering a family is worse than taking a stapler home from the office, but God doesn't!"]

I wonder if Prager listens in on a "party line" and hears from God and his ways at the same time "W" does. How much does God abhor the citizens of a nation who stand by and allow their illegitimate government carry out unspeakable aggression in a foreign land and call it spreading democracy?

Maybe Prager isn't hearing this from God directily. Would Prager's viewpoint be borne out in scripture? Try reading the Book of Job, and see whether you can find out that God has a scoring system for evil and righteousness.

How evil is raping Iraqi child POWs. How evil is lying to the public with the the full cooperation of major news outlets to keep down the anti-war riots? How evil is it conducing a non-stop controlled event Presidency, managing to hide the truth of the public, complete with fake Secret Secret (aka Local Repub. Thugs) to toss the less than reverent out of any of your little rigged get togethers?

How evil is the shooting at point blank range of the innocent man in London, while you have him restrained?

How evil is it to arrange for 9/11 and the death of thousands, simply to have the excuse to ramp up your War Machine?

Mr. Prager, I don't think you are evil. Rather, I don't think you have a clue about who God is, and you certainly don't have a clue about what has been done in Democracy's name, in the US Citizen's name, and in God's name.
