News Weakly - 12/21/2024

Senseless
A 15-year-old girl opened fire in a Christian school and killed a teacher and a student, wounding others. She killed herself. They're looking for a motive, trying to find out why, and ready to lay the blame. We know, of course, that firearms are to blame. (Dirty, rotten, Christian school ... believes the Bible. Pray for the government? God is at work? What nonsense!)

"Because We Care"
The Starbucks union has voted to authorize a strike to secure more money for themselves and more expensive coffee for their customers. What says "Because we care" better than that? (Of course, I've never been a Starbucks fan anyway, since their coffee is so expensive. Get ready for more.)

Smishing?
Now the USPS is warning, "If we send you a link to track your package ... don't use it!" What a world!

No Fear
Scripture says as an indictment of humans, "There is no fear of God before their eyes" (Psa 36:1; Rom 3:18). A local news item illustrates the problem. Three people have died recently on the freeway because they were out of their vehicles and careless, prompting the authorities to say, "The freeway is no place for pedestrians." Duh! But, like the 57 pedestrian fatalities and 86 injuries on Arizona's state highway system in 2023, humans keep refusing to fear God ... and suffer the consequences.

I knew it! A newly discovered scroll tells about a fourth wise man who brought Jesus a priceless Lego Millennium Falcon. I told you it wasn't just three guys. This next story is a little too close for my comfort. It's about a husband who helpfully points out all the historical inaccuracies of his wife's favorite period drama. Hey, who let them into my house? And then there's this interesting story, combining Biden's pardons and Biden's call for gun laws. The story is about Biden calling for new gun laws he can pardon his son for breaking. Nice juxtaposition of news items, eh?

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

I guess they deserved it then. Not believing in Evolution should be punishable by death. And believing in a Sovereign God is simply laughable. We know better now that everything is just random chance, governments are unaccountable to anyone, and don't you dare pray for anyone.

"Because We Care"
"... About ourselves" I'm sorry, but if you want a better paying job, go do something that requires actual skill. But since we have all the nonsense degrees getting handed out that have no professional value, they're trying to pay off crushing student loans with a job for teenagers.

Smishing?
It is sad that this needs to be said. In our attempts to make our lives easier we've made it easier for people to do nefarious things.

No Fear
I can't read the full article, but other than not being an idiot and running out of gas on the freeway, it sounds like they weren't just out and about playing chicken with cars. If they had stayed in the car and waiting for services, then maybe only the emergency response guy would have died.

When you're right, you're right. Could you imagine if it were a Roman Empire period drama?
