Christianists Take Glee in Deaths of Young Families

I make no secret of the fact that I find Christianists to be less than nice or good people notwithstanding their constant self-congratulation, self-satisfaction and pretense to be "godly" people. The aftermath of a plane crash in Montana over the weekend, however, brings the true hatefulness of these people into sharper focus. The crash has been widely reported and while the cause remains a mystery, what is known is that the crash killed three young families, including seven young children. The photos in this post are of two of the families wiped out in the crash (click on the photos to enlarge the images). Here is a brief highlight from the New York Times:
*
BUTTE, Mont. — The six of them attended college together. They pursued graduate degrees at the same university, then all settled into medical professions and started families around the same time.
*
And on Sunday they were all sitting on the same private plane, with their seven young children, headed to a much-anticipated ski vacation at an exclusive resort in Big Sky, Montana. But something went horribly wrong and the plane, which was carrying more people than it was designed for, plunged to the ground about 2:30 p.m., bursting into flames at the edge of a cemetery just short of an airport where it was to make an unplanned and still unexplained stop. No one survived.
*
The victims were identified as Erin and Amy Jacobson of St. Helena, Calif., and their children, Taylor, 4; Ava, 3, and Jude, 1; Michael and Vanessa Pullen of Lodi, Calif., and their children, Sydney, 9, and Christopher, 7; and Brent and Kristen Ching of Durham, Calif., and their children, Hailey, 5, and Caleb, 3.
*
A very sad story indeed and one that should touch the hearts of most people. Unless one is a religious extremist Christianst. In that case, the story takes on a whole different sick dimension as evidenced by a story on ChristianNewsWire, which describes itself as "the nations leading distributor of Christian press releases." Here is a sampling of how these sickos describe the tragic crash:
*
What else is the mainstream news not telling you? The family who died in the crash near the location of the abortion victim's memorial, is the family of Irving 'Bud' Feldkamp, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the nation. Family Planning Associates was purchased four years ago by Irving Moore "Bud" Feldkamp III, owner of Allcare and Hospitality Dental Associates and CEO of Glen Helen Raceway Park in San Bernardino. The 17 California Family Planning clinics perform more abortions in the state than any other abortion provider.
*
Although Feldkamp is not an abortionist, he reaps profits of blood money from the tens of thousands of babies that are killed through abortions performed every year at the clinics he owns. His business in the abortion industry was what enabled him to afford the private plane that was carrying his family to their week-long vacation at The Yellowstone Club, a millionaires-only ski resort.
*
We warned him, for his children's sake, to wash his hands of the innocent blood he assisted in spilling because, as Scripture warns, if "you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you". (Ezekiel 35:6)
*
I don't want to turn this tragic event into some creepy spiritual 'I told you so' moment, but I think of the time spent outside of Feldkamp's - Pam Feldkamp laughing at the fetal development signs, Bud Feldkamp trying not to make eye contact as he got into his car with a small child in tow - and I think of the haunting words, 'Think of your children.' I wonder if those words were haunting Feldkamp as well as he stood in the snow among the remains of loved ones.
*
If you ask me, the wrong people died in the crash. Far better the plane had been carrying the management of Christian News Wire and the author of the article rather than seven young innocent children. As usual, the pro-life extremists care more for the unborn (who may not even make it through a full term pregnancy) than they do for the living, including young children.

These people are truly evil to try to make points of such a tragedy. While I do like your term of "Christianist" I am becoming fond of the idea of "christian mythologist" (yes, lower case), because when you get right down to it, what makes their belief system any more valid than Greek or Norse mythology?

This, and it's amazing to even say, tops Fred Phelps.

Where are the minds of people who can find even a sliver of joy or triumph in such a tragedy.

It just goes beyond the scope of human understanding.

I hope they all die a horrible, prolonged and painful death !!

And, the horrible comments you both just made are kind?!?! God is a loving God- he sent his only son to die on a cross for you and me. If there was any other way, God wouldn't have sent his son to die- he would have told you to go another way. God doesn't kill people. This world is full of sin and sin has consequences. God could have stopped it from happening, but he didn't. And it's not for me to say why. I think you all need to read the Bible before you bash and group people altogether. You may actually find what you're looking for!
