Deleted Tsunami Post

by Wiseman ~ December 30th, 2004

Yesterday I put up an entry suggesting that the tsunami and divine chastisement may not be completely unrelated. It was really the continuation of a discussion on Amy Welborn’s blog, and that context was important. The connection between earthly calamities and the divine will is certainly worth discussing, but after reading one more account of the disaster yesterday — something about beaches full of children being swept out to sea — it occurred to me that I’m not really up to the task.

My post might have been interpreted as rejoicing that a notorious haven
for sex tourism and child prostitution was devastated by the tsunami, no matter the “collateral damage”. Truth be told, there was something like that going on. But there is such a thing as looking too hard for the silver lining. Were some of those children mine, I would probably like to strangle armchair theologians pontificating on their weblogs about the meaning of it all just now.
