NEGLIGENCE ITALIAN

"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on , and are punished." (Proverbs 27.12)

Three days ago a level 6 earthquake shook central Italy produced many hundreds of deaths and property damage.

The historic town of L Aquila east of Rome is the most affected as a result, leaving over 250 dead, 1000 injured and 70,000 homeless.

It is believed that there are more people alive under the rubble so that the rescuers are making every effort to salvage and lifting people out of the places destroyed.

This unfortunate fact also sparked the controversy over an Italian scientist named Giampaolo Giuliani, who predicted this earthquake a month ago, but authorities discredited and Giuliani was forced to remove their ads on the Internet to create panic among the population.

This is a sad episode for the Italian people not only by the loss of human lives but also because they act much negligence before a warning of disaster in that area.

Add to this the unfortunate statements of Silvio Berlusconi, Italian President, suggested that the victims take the situation as a weekend camp.

It seems that the president minimizes the location of pain experienced by people in the town of L 'Aquila, in the best tradition of his countryman historical Emperor Neron.

I prefer to think that this was a fortuitous event that could have happened to any country, but it seems to be a punishment from God to a nation whose negligent authorities have taken as an Easter weekend camping and having fun.

THE AMERICAN BARBARISM (Part II)

It seems that the news coming from the United States have only a criminal court.

Again on Saturday April 11 in Washington state, a man who upon learning that his wife was leaving for another man, killed her five children between 7 and 16 years and then committed suicide.

In addition, the crime occurred in New York, where a Vietnamese killed 12 people in a support center for immigrants and then committed suicide.

It is clear that there is an evil in American society that leads people to commit these assassinations, partly encouraged by the freedom of American law to allow citizens to bear arms, and also produced by a psychological flaw that appears nested in the minds of the American settler.

It is also clear the fault of the American government not only veto the indiscriminate sale of weapons to the public, guns that are sometimes high-power, nor the governments have not been striving to make a call to disarmament.

If the government of Barack Obama does something to block these laws, or the companies behind them, which will be more clear is that this year there will be more assassinations in the United States and in other countries.

Obviously also the passivity of the American churches and religious leaders, who are more worried about their perfect family lives to preach, or on the last pirouette of a pet, or not to invade your blog. All these things show superficially and no spirituality.

I appeal to all people who love life, to the families of those who have suffered such tragedies, the communities who were frightened to death of innocent people, and even the churches that their pastors were killed or brothers in Christ, to join in a crusade to stop something in this wave of violence that shook the United States.

Thanks for your thoughts / comments...

I particularly like the analogy of the two groups at the cross, conspiring to kill Jesus: the religious and the spiritually insensitive. May God guard our hearts against these extremes and keep us balanced in His Word!

Thank you for your comment on my blog concerning president Barack Obama.

We know he is not the Messiah but he does bring a much needed dose of hope to this country. I have read his book “the audacity of hope” and I am now listening to his first book “Dreams from my father”. I have the audio CD which I listen to in my car. I recommend both if you can find copies in your country
