"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Not really in defense of Delay, but.....

In listening to news, I've heard pieces on people questioning God's existence due to the tsunami.

One woman who was a devout Hindu said something about the deaths, even the infants and young children, were a result of people's karma and therefore does not disprove her religious philosophy. I was sort of shocked and definitely amazed because that ideological stance is so unfathomable for me.

Delay's is similarly unfathomable.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday msbelle!

Sigh...found out that a guy I "knew" from one of my newsgroups died recently. He was 44. I never met him, but he seemed like a nice guy. 2005 isn't starting all that well with this news.

All is well that ends in pizza.

DeLay's bit reminded me of a quote I just posted to Bitches:

"Get some devastation in the back."

-- Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), quoted by the AP, to a staff photographer taking a picture of him before leaving tsunami-stricken southern Sri Lanka.

I seem to have missed the post about Tom DeLay. I take it his conception of God isn't an omnibenevolent one?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The whole "why did God let this happen" question makes no sense to me. If you assume a creator or set of same, it follows to me that it's because that's how the world was designed. Every once in a while, Shit Happens. Sometimes it's really humongous, like a tsunami. How we react to it would seem more important to me.

And besides, from where I sit, loving someone doesn't mean you have to make everything gentle and soft for them. Sometimes, you have to get harsh. Sometimes, you end up hurting them as a side effect of doing something else that's important. The planet has to have earthquakes to get stuff like mountains. It's not the fault of people who don't believe or act the right way. We just happen to live on a geologically active planet with everything that entails.
