Praise Allah, she died. (Rouqa on the death of his baby, Tala.)

In a heartbreaking moment of hope, the bloodied baby Tala was reunited with her father after a strike that injured them and killed their family. In a crushing loss for her father, Tala died, just days before her first birthday. (Courtesy of NBC News)

 

Awful! Let’s define the word. Something so bad you can’t get your mind around it. Something that makes you believe in the devil even if you’re an atheist. Something that makes a grown man cry. 

No matter what God told Abraham, or how the property transferred to Joshua at the closing table, or how deep that water was in the Red Sea, a man with no interest in world politics, a man with no family left after Israel exacted “God’s will,” a man losing the only member of his family, a baby girl not yet to her first birthday after she was miraculously pulled from the rubble of what was her home with pictures showing her mother’s dead hand still reaching for her is the classic definition of awful!

And, you may ask, why would a merciful God, the creator of the universe allow this to happen? He didn’t, you did because the shaved ape is awful!

Churches, mosques, and synagogues are mainly set up to give advice and rules to the masses and exacting a fee for the service. They all have “The Truth” and they will damn sure tell you all about it. Now, they can’t prove a God Damn thing, but, as the Prophet, Adolph Hitler told us (in his best selling book by the way) If you are going to tell a lie, tell a big one, keep repeating it and it will become “The Truth!”

You want some truth. I quote this truth so often God should sue me for copyright violation, but here goes:

 

   ^{Romans 3:23  . . .} for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

 

 

When the worst pedophile gets caught he’s not sorry for what he did. He’s sorry he got caught. If he hadn’t been rounded up he’d have gone right on petting them files. Think you don’t have his DNA somewhere in your make up? Heeeere’s your sign!

We, as a species is the reason God made hell. And that’s the reason it burns forever. So we can never stop burning. Because maybe after a thousand trillion years we my perceive a glimmer of how awful we truly are. As the stink of our smoke rises to heaven maybe the angels  will shield that little girl from the grim reality she left behind. 

As Nathan Yahoo twists history to hide the biggest land grab since Oklahoma, Putin tries to explain how he’s about to lose a war he should have won in six hours and Biden stumbles through the Rose Garden looking for another little girl the news service serves us up another plate of Chicken Fried Awful because they know that story will sell copy. It’s finger lickin’ good!

So, the next time you get all pissed off about our place in history, a place we richly deserve by the way, remember this.  Never forget what awful really is. And hold your family close. God gave them to you. He’s gonna want them back!
