President Obama announced approximately an hour ago that Osama Bin Laden was killed by US Forces. There is talk of celebrating in Washington DC and New York. I don't watch.
I need not to say nor hear all the reasons any American would see this as good. The final defeat that comes to Bin Laden, death, is in someway comforting to the patriot. Death is a form of retribution. Death is a form of punishment. Only one person has escaped it, that I know of-- a prophet that could easily be painted as abrasive or obnoxious, going on record to mock those of other faiths. He lived a life of exile, but his message was harsh, and he didn't spare feelings or mince words. He was the prophet Elijah, and instead of dying, God himself sent down a chariot of fire to greet him and carry him off to heaven. Not having a chariot of fire take you from the earth and dying on the same rock as the people you have avidly sought to destroy comes as a relief to us. We, the inhabitants of this earth, find it to be a comfort, because then we can know that you are not an Elijah. You are not favored by God. You are not right.
Perhaps another reason this poses such a surprising reaction within me is because, according to the bible, there will be peace in the middle east in the book of revelation. I don't usually go with the bible theories, but I still find it troubling, even politically speaking. I don't know who will take his place, this man who caused some of the most disturbing times in America's history. Biblically speaking, I do not know whether I would be more troubled if no one replaced him, and only more tension rose in the middle east between 8 different factions where 2 once stood.
So, what do you feel about it? How does his death affect you? Leave a comment below.
I think that what you typed made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you typed a
ReplyDeletecatchier post title? I ain't suggesting your content is not good, however suppose you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "Oh Joy, Where Art Thou?" is a little plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo's
home page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people interested.
You might add a video or a pic or two to get people excited about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

It's really very difficult in this active life to listen news on TV, therefore I only use internet for that reason, and take the most up-to-date information.
