So says Michael Savage. You know, the third most-listened to voice in talk radio.
Apparently God’s plan is to counter sex-change operations and “lesbian fertility clinics” with “radical Islam.” And so he’s allowing terrorist attacks to punish us.
And when I point out that people like Savage worship a violent, hateful, petty and narcissistic God, I’m the one that is criticized.
I think what you have with people like this is a failure to differentiate between ancient Israeli history and the modern religious situation. Reading Torah and transposing its story onto modern America, forgetting the ultimate message in the scripture (Hebrew and Christian) of a FORGIVING and JUST God intent on creating the BEST for HUMANITY, always leads to similar statements. Many people assume that all tragedy is direct punishment for sin. They also tend to assume that every punishment is corporate. However, God calls us to serve each other and help REDEEM our communities by being a good example and lovingly caring and teaching. EB, don’t let religious fools get you down. All these prophets of doom only tell half the story. (And not even the best half!) God’s got more than they know.
It’s not that people like Savage worship a violent, hateful, petty and narcissistic God, it’s that he worships a loving, just, and merciful God in a violent, hateful, petty and narcissistic way. May God forgive him and open his heart.
Peace and Blessings!
