Moore, Oklahoma - Bible Belt Central


Watching the news today is saddening. What devastation in Oklahoma. Wow. Then I hear the nonsensical ramblings from the reporters, witnesses and survivors & I want to turn my brain off until it cools down. 

You know, it's funny how people react and what words they use to describe a natural occurrence - how what lots of people would consider "an act of god", suddenly transforms into "Mother Nature". (Note how that shifts the blame from their deity.)

The same people that were spared by going underground or lying in a bath tub while a 200 mph freight train passed overhead are the same people that refuse to acknowledge that the god that they believe in caused the storm in the first place. They babble about "miracles" and go on and on about how their prayers were answered. What about the dead, the wounded and those that lost everything they owned? Did they not "pray" correctly? Were they not "worthy of a miracle"? The only difference between those that escaped with their lives and limbs and those that didn't is coincidence. Yet those that survived are actually fucking arrogant enough to flaunt their "specialness" in everyone else's faces. Why not just get up on your soapbox and proclaim to the world that you are "worthy" in the eyes of your god and the children and others that died were not? Because that is what you are telling me.

Then the vigils will commence nation-wide tonight - candles and prayer that will accomplish absolutely nothing to actually helping out. Unless you are donating time, money, blood - something - you are wasting your time and showing how fucking arrogant some of you christians can really be. Think about it, in lieu of donating to Red Cross, you are going to light candles, hold hands, sing and mumble to yourself. Yet, in your twisted reality - that is somehow helping! Are you fucking kidding me? Is that not the very epitome of hypocrisy?
