Happy Easter, 2004, everybody! Praise the Lord! And as you sit in your proper pew this Sunday morning, blubbering out your favorite version of “He is risen,” contemplate this --
Americans, just like the Israelis, are now known for killing innocent
people as they worship their God in church.
Raise your eyes to the heavens you prize so highly, and imagine an American B-52 dropping a 500-pound bomb right on your head, splattering you and your beloved family all over your sacred altar. Your finely dressed friends, your fire-breathing pastor, all those beautiful children in their frilly Easter finery, reduced to bloody bits of still-twitching protoplasm dripping from the flaming pages of the Book of Revelation.
See your murmurs of worship becomes screams of pain. Praise the Lord.
Praise Yahweh. He said that’s how it should be done. Right in the pages of the Old Testament. And that’s how America is doing it today, this very day, Easter Sunday, in Iraq.
