The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Hurricane Florence is Devastating Our Neighbors to the South. And, What Are You Christian Apologists Saying????

September 14, 2018





Hurricane Florence has made landfall to the south of us (I live in Tidewater Virginia....Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, etc.). Our neighbors are stranded, flooded, without electricity, and some have died. So, let's think a minute about your so-called God (OK, I'll use caps).

You claim He's all-powerful. And, that He can do anything. So, what's the deal with the hurricane? It would seem either He planned this and put it in motion or just stood by and watched it happen without interfering. Hmm. Well. Sooo, no power or doesn't care?

Some preachers always claim old God brought on a hurricane because of homosexuals, same-sex marriage, and so on. What kind of God would punish us for something that He created? And, just for the sake of talking, let's say He sent the hurricane because of homosexuals,,, hey, the hurricane does not discriminate. It kills, injures, and devastates all of us.

What's that about answering all prayers? Oh, He answers them just maybe not the answer you asked for!!! Well...think about that! Old God can't go wrong on this one.  So, why do you bother praying, for cryin' out loud? Folks, pray, don't pray...the outcome will be the same!

UPDATE:  Midnight, September 14, 2018. Well, our area was spared, if you will. So, what are you religious folks doing? Yep, down on your knees praying to this so-called God and thanking Him for sparing you, your family, and your neighbors. Think for a minute, if you're able. What's so special about you and yours that old God spared you and not our neighbors to the south.

OK, OK, yes, this is poorly written and I'm sort of pissed off that in 2018 there are still so many of you who believe all of this bullshit. This Sunday, you'll trudge off to your so-called places of worship to hear your ministers babbling on about a God who spared you.

Hey, it's your life. Waste it as you will.
