I feel as if I have to explain myself because of my last post. A lot of you know that I'm Agnostic and that I have no problem with believers or Atheists at any level. I've always been on the middle ground and given people a benefit of the doubt.
My last blog was in no way an intentional attack on Christians in of themselves, but a question posed for fundamentals. I've offended and upset a few of you, one of which I care deeply about.
I was in no way glorifying the death of the five-year-daughter of Christian music star, Stephen Curtis Chapman and using her a pawn in disproving the existence of a divine entity. However, I did use it as segue into what fundamentals call "an act of god."
When the news depicts children of a third world starving on the streets, fundamentals are quick to state that it was an act of god. When the AIDS crisis swept across the nation, it was an act of god. When 9/11 filled our TV screens with people dying, it was an act of god. All these events are acts of a just god in the eyes of the fundamentals. So when a five-year-old daughter of one is hit by her own brother, is it too an act of god?
That was what I wanted my blog to ask, but instead, it came off as if I had become a monster. I do not praise what happened to Chapman and I do not wish any harm to befall on fundamentals. I have not betrayed myself and become just a vile and dirty as they are.
For those of you who were offended by my blog, I apologize.
