Ask The Deacon

What Do You Make Of This?

Concept: Zzen, Graphic: TMITH
 Dear Deacon Jones:

I saw this billboard and it really bothered me. It’s like they blame God for the misery on earth! What do you make of this?

Dear Jon:

I like the way you spell it - like you ran out of consonants! At any rate Jon, do not let your heart be troubled. God is not the evil "mastermind behind all creation" that some make him out to be. True, the big "G" created all things - including mans behaviours – Then he gave man the choice - to choose wrongly - and man does that. Whose fault is that? Logic may dictate that is the creators fault, but Deacon Jones say no! Do not let logic dictate when it comes to God! Rational thought has no place in religion.



Dear Deacon Jones:

I saw a billboard and it makes me think God can do whatever he is in the mood for. It’s like he created everything so he gets to destroy it - like a five year old does a tower of blocks he made. What do you think, I’m so confused! I sent a picture of it.

Dear Laura:
It is so very hard to believe you are not related to Jon somehow - but at least you spell your name the American way. See here. Let me put it this way. God makes a point in ways that may - to us - appear slightly harsh. Like when David took a census. God had already told him not to but being slightly retarded David did it anyway. Then God killed 70,000 people who had no say in the matter. God is good, do not worry. Those people could have remembered… This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary...” (Exodus 30:12-13) But they were goofing off when they went to temple and forgot all about it.
