Americans Upset With Their gods, December 24, 2005

In our assessment of the idols of America, we would like to add some further items to demonstrate the reality of this dismal situation.
During and after the calamities surrounding the violent hurricanes in the Gulf States there were a lot of comments reported in the various media that merit our consideration.First, there was a lot of vociferous complaining about the fact that the various levels of government were woefully inadequate in their various preparations for responding to storms of this magnitude. Questions like this make us wonder what planet these people are from.
No one seems to ask if such “adequate” preparations are even possible in the real world.
Many complained that the leaders of various bureaucracies did not manage their organizations well in response to these storms.
Ah, now here is something we can understand. They are unhappy with the priests of their Baal, and have demanded, with some success, the change of personnel in the priesthood.
Of course, there is the inevitable political finger pointing. There were Democrats insisting that the destruction was the result of Republican callousness, and Republican insistence that many of the local Democratic functionaries botched their management of the crisis, and had exacerbated the problems by creating a dependant welfare class in many of the areas hardest hit.
This is just competition between the competing factions of wannabe priests.
Probably the best example of this was an interview we heard on the radio, where the interviewed party was infuriated that the U. S. government had been unable to stop the hurricane and the attendant destruction.
Really, we’re not making this up. It was on NPR. Can you imagine? The Great American Baal unable the thwart the will and actions of the Almighty God of the Bible, King of Heaven and Earth? Gasp!!!
