Chances are extremely good - nah. Scratch that.


Chances are perfect that you are outraged by the recent event in Thibodaux (pronounced CHOOT 'IM LIZ! CHOOT IM!), Louisiana in which a man beheaded and partly dismembered a severely handicapped child.

Hang on to that for a few minutes.

Anyone who is not outraged by this deserves, well, not the same fate the murderer in this case deserves, but certainly something. 


As for what the man who did this deserves, I'm not entirely sure. S'true.


Even as I contemplate grisly deaths, horrific and slow executions, I remember the attack a few years ago in Amish Country. Some guy waded in and killed a number of school-age children and shot others. 

The accused killer was forgiven by the community.


Uhn.


This next comment is specifically directed at a select group - How about it Christians? Are you willing to forgive? 

I have heard a number of "Christians" who say they cannot and will not forgive. I put the word in quotes, cause they ain't. Matthew 6:14-15 ESV For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, (15) but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. So you're going to hell on someone's else account? Cool.

WW Kali Do?

 Anyway, back to the general commentary.

That you are outraged is a given.

The question becomes, what are you willing to do about it?

Would you have adopted the child in question?

Really? So put yer money where yer mouth is.

Put up and shut up.

That's what I thought.

Reminds me of the only cogent argument I have ever heard for abortion on demand, spoke by one of the extremely few lawyers I both like AND respect as a lawyer. Hrm. Actually the only one.

Anyway, my attorney friend said: If you are so opposed to abortion, are you willing to adopt the child if it comes to term?

Saying "it ain't my job" is a cop out and we both know it. If you are willing to impose requirements on other people, then you must also be willing to accept the responsibility of taking over for those people if they will not do the job.

Fair is fair.

The question remains, how fair are you really willing to be?
