Here It Comes!

"And a final word to you arrogant rich: Take some lessons in lament. You’ll need buckets for the tears when the crash comes upon you. Your money is corrupt and your fine clothes stink. Your greedy luxuries are a cancer in your gut, destroying your life from within. You thought you were piling up wealth. What you’ve piled up is judgment. All the workers you’ve exploited and cheated cry out for judgment. The groans of the workers you used and abused are a roar in the ears of the Master Avenger. You’ve looted the earth and lived it up. But all you’ll have to show for it is a fatter than usual corpse. In fact, what you’ve done is condemn and murder perfectly good persons, who stand there and take it."

James 5:1-5

Today, right across the street from where you and I live:

. 25,000 children will starve to death.
. Millions of children are working in sexual slavery.
. AIDS will claim the lives of thousands of children.
. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing faster than at any other time in history.
. Our children are contracting STD’s at a rate that isn’t even matched by adults.
. People are choosing to die in numbers unequalled at any other time in history.
. Despair, loneliness, and hopelessness are rampant in all age groups.

. Every year, out of the estimated 30 million slaves in the world, 2.8 million child-slaves are permanently disabled and 30,000 die from injuries incurred during their slave labour.

That reality of course is sickening to atheists. But not in the way you might imagine or hope. "Sure there are problems in the world but from where I sit things look pretty good." 

They simply don't want to hear about it. 

“All I hear is doom and gloom

All is darkness in my room

Baby take a chance

Baby won't you dance with me

Bowing to the rich

Worrying about the poor

Put my feet up on the couch

And locking all the doors

All I hear is doom an gloom

Baby won't you dance with me.
