More on Terri Schindler-Schiavo
Let’s get this straight: on a good day I’m an agnostic and on a day like today even that seems a stretch so I’ll stick to good old fashioned, Karl Marx-brand “Atheism”.
So while people may think that only Christians can be pro-life and are the only ones interested in saving Terri Schindler-Schiavo’s life, they’d be wrong – because I am interested, and I want to see her live.
Now don’t think I know what I’m talking about. The man I looked up to as a kid, a man who could rewire a house without breaking a sweat is now confined to a wheel-chair and forced to communicate using one word.
My family has just learned that another brilliant man, my wife’s father, may have one of those cancers that you hear about: “Yeah, they diagnosed him with it, and he was dead within 12 weeks.”
Yeah, one of those. This guy knows everything about everything – a true humble genius – and he’ll soon be dead.
He’ll be dead while the truly evil continue breathing and tormenting the living. What sane God would allow this? Or any of the other billion other examples of injustices we witness on a day to day basis on this planet? I spit on God, and the supernatural entities that we have invented over time to help us face death and explain the impossible.
Nevertheless, even in the deepest pit of atheism I still believe that Terri Schindler-Schiavo deserves to live. So while you may read this and see the term “God” in every other sentence, don’t think for a moment that it’s only the Righteous fighting to prevent the execution of Terri.
