Cutting them off at the Border


I happened to see the conversation between the "American Baptist Missionaries" and a newsperson, concerning their arrest. They were charged with kidnapping because they loaded up a bus with children in Haiti, and tried to drive them across the border into Santo Domingo. They were charged with doing something shady, like "trafficking in children."

These people were complaining about being arrested. They said that God had called them to do a job for humanity and now they had been foiled: God's plans had been defeated. Some God! If a bunch of uneducated thugs on the Haitian border can defeat the aims of the almighty, you're not working for a very impressive deity there, folks. When Moses was called by God to deliver the Children of Israel,

you may remember, even the barrier of an ocean was not able to stop him. So, a border check point ought to be a piece of cake!

I keep trying to assemble a likely scenario: God strikes down hundreds of thousands of buildings, he kills hundreds of people willy-nilly, he throws millions into woeful suffering, and then he decides, as an extra thrill, he will send in some of his devoted to rescue kids, and THEN, he stops the salvation of a bus of little kids. Like a joke, right?

Who in the name of ..., um. Let me rephrase this .... Who in hell dreams up Gods like this? Where do you "CHRISTIANS" get this kind of theology? How can you fall for this transparent bullshit? Those of us who are real Christians are embarrassed by the childishness of your ignorance.

God didn't send those people to rescue children, they went under a delusion to commit acts of kidnapping. Say what you like, ye "Christian soldiers." You belong in a good Christian jail.

Hear hear!
Can you do whatever you want and claim it's ok because you are on a mission from God?

You can! But hopefully you won't get away with it all.

And, you know, they get all snotty when you doubt their veracity. They put their little noses in the air and sniff and say, "Have a good day, sinner."

Some people do the wrong thing for what they think is the right reason. Some people do the right thing for the wrong reason. Some people do do the right thing for the right reason. Who can tell the difference?

Bud said...

Good point Doug.

Let's see, who CAN decide whether God instructed these folks to kidnap 33 children. Hmm..... Looks like the Haiti government is going to take a shot at it.
