Who is driving the bus?

So, I watched the ending of the playoffs, Colts vs. Patriots and the CEO and the head coach, both gave the glory and credit of the win to God. I assume they meant a Christian God of one denomination or another. Maybe even a particular denomination. After all, some of them are very jealous and intransigent in their insistence on being the only correct interpreters of the Bible. I can only wonder, were they judging the losing team to be less Christian, less devout, or merely members of the wrong congregation.

And meanwhile we have this: Lobbying for Armageddon. More than one of these self righteous sects are egging on the “End Times.” More than one. I can only imagine how scared, how empty and unfulfilled a person’s life must be, to attempt to find solace and community only to end up among a group of people whose aim is to destroy the world. Of course, they will get whisked away, just before the bad stuff happens to all those who don’t ascribe to their particular doctrine.

So here we are. Getting ready to make war on Iran. Nuclear war. The Resident has destroyed our armed forces in Iraq and the only tool left in his tool box is the nuclear option and since he has his bomb shelter, he’s not worried about the fallout. The wing nuts think he’ll bring them along (Ha. Ha.) The religious wackos are willing sacrifices to their dogmatic leaders. Our congress critters are beholden to the (supposedly non-existent) Jewish lobby (for campaign money) which is willing to bomb Iran on their own if we won’t.

On a different note: A huge event unfolded in Memphis the other weekend and not even c-span covered it. Big media is big business and even though the airways are ours, they ignore us. A bunch of videos are at that link for your educational pleasure.

And my latest You Tube rant!

Now, into the circle file...
