Reading about the death of Ben Bakers family members in Haiti in an OP here.

[Sympthsical]

46. I'll just note the interesting juxtaposition

Christians bringing aid - kind of deserved it. Other religious fundamentalists denying aid to their own people - eh, it's fine. Pay no mind.

If this hasn't extremely highlighted to an absurd degree that people act out of tribalism rather than any high-minded principle, welp, there ya go.

I have a cousin in Africa doing missionary work. Yes, he's religious. No, I don't particularly appreciate the texts of long Bible passages I get from him sometimes. But he's a kind person. Found religion after his step-father killed his mother. He spends his time building homes, digging wells, that sort of thing. Just up and decided in his 30s to go help people.

But I guess he wouldn't meet the approval of *checks* people who run their mouths on social media all day.

I'm sure he'd be devastated if I told him. "The pajama'd have things to say as you . . . uh, help people."

I don't know if his self-image could handle it. Let's be ironic and pray for him that he endures the sharpness of eternal electronic judgment from on high.
