GOD TOLD ME TO!
A quick look at newspaper headlines reveals a rash of crimes committed in the name of God. Most recently there was the Texas woman, Deanna Laney, who smashed in the heads of her three young children, killing two of them and leaving the third in a helpless, near-vegetable state. But that’s only the most current case of many. Here are just a few other recent examples: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, resident Ronald Morgan murdered his father because of a dream in which God told him to kill his parents; James Livesay of Newport News, Virginia, was sentenced to a mental hospital for claiming that God told him to rape and kill his mother; and George W. Bush, our President, bombed the shit out of Iraq at God’s direction.
So what’s up with God?
Is it possible that the Almighty has gone crazy? Killing helpless children isn’t something a sane person—or deity—would do. In fact, the Deanna Laney jury found her “not guilty by reason of insanity.” The Fort Lauderdale jury found Morgan not guilty for the same reason, as did the jury that heard the Livesay case. Time after time, when juries are presented with such deity-involved claims,
insanity is seen as the key factor. So where does that
leave George W. Bush?
The way I look at it, there are only two possible answers. Assuming the President isn’t lying about why he attacked Iraq, either it’s God who’s crazy, or it’s Bush.
I’ll leave the final decision up to you.
