whatever it takes
A Perfect Opportunity
It seems to me that the tempest that arose around the Terry Schiavo matter, was probably wholly unnecessary. The Christian elements that opposed the court’s decision to remove the feeding tube simply forgot that they should ask God to save her and not the brothers Bush. I seem to remember that if one has as much faith as a grain of mustard seed, they can move mountains. What happened here? Ask God to save Ms. Schiavo! The perennial reply to this admonition is, that we prayed for her and “put it in God’s hands.” Great, that is what Christian fundamentalist should do. Instead, we have radical “Christian” elements offering money to people to kill Michael Schiavo and the Florida judge who ordered the tube removal. Right. Like that is what Jesus would do! Come on people. If you expect to remain relevant in modern society, you have to practice what you preach. If you are putting this matter in God’s hands, then do so fully. If it is his will that Terry Schiavo be saved, he will save her. If it isn’t, there is nothing you can do about it anyway. If you truly believe in life after death, perhaps you could also believe that Ms. Schiavo may prefer life everlasting in Heaven over being in a vegitative state in Florida.
