Vengeance and Justice
Tuesday, May 3, 2011 at 3:01PM | by Otter A thought on the killing of Osama bin Laden, and the responses to it:
There's no moral equivalency between shooting Osama bin Laden and the mass murder of non-combatants on September 11.
However, the Internet was abuzz with glee about the thing.
Self-indulgent emotions of vengeance are to justice what pornography is to sex.

It seems many pastors had some difficulty sorting this one out.
It's a pity that so many Christians miss the point of being "like Jesus in his sufferings." But I do feel sad for men and women whose livelihood depends on making the impossibly difficult message of Jesus easy for 21st century Americans.
