“When Isaac was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a
Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment—you can’t miss it.”
These were the words of David Brickner, describing a terrorist attacks on Israelis as God’s “judgment of unbelief” of Jews who haven’t embraced Christianity, uttered in a sermon in the Wasilla Bible Church. You can read the full sermon here.
Now this rant of some guy about how his imaginary friend will beat up other peoples imaginary friends is insofar interesting as Mr. Brickner is the new head honcho of the aforementioned Wasilla Bible Church, which is in turn the church of Mrs. Sarah Palin. And someone equalling a terrorist attack with his imaginary friend’s judgement is one thing, but someone listening to something like this and not walking out, and then getting chosen to run for vice presidency leaves me speechless.
And I know about different cultures and traditions between the US and Europe, and that we have enough airheads in our own governments, and I know it is all too easy to shake heads at such folly and move on, yet such people make me want to paint psalm 137.9 in big red letters all over their silly faces.
