Winners In The Hands Of An Angry God

   So "Sinners In The Hands of An Angry God", supposedly some ground breaking, mind changing, end all be all best sermon ever given kind of situation. Well for starters John Edwards is completely and utterly insane. Why would they even let that guy come anywhere an oppurtunity to influence the masses. But, really you can't blame the people for listening, they had no other choice. Mostly because John Edwards was one scary man, just doing his thing creating the most twisted and frightening pictures of god in their minds. This in itself was a good tacticto bring in followers because fear is an easy way to control people and he definitely had that part down. 

   But, as i got to thinking about the passage i came across the idea of what gives the heads of the Puritan society the right to decide who was a sinner or not. In an alternate universe, what if sinners were really winners? What if all the supposedly wrong things that we do were weaving a web telling the story of our lives and explaining who are true selves and intnetions were. What if, the people who wer the most peculiar and did exactly what they thought was right and they were the "holiest".  That would be interesting wouldn't it, it's scary where my mind travels sometims, but this isn't one of them. I, personally, would be fine with this alternate universe. I kind of see certain religions perception of earning your way into heaven or hell is how well or poorly you follow directions, and that's no fun :(.

   So, that's all i have to say about that passage, but on another note i have a really cool song i want to share. So play the the second song, but if you can't count it's the song Passion Pit Sleepyhead Dubstep Remix. So peep game, escpecially Mr.McCarthy. Until next time, peace.

  1. Some of God's images were touching on the sense of how wrathful God is making John Proctor look less insane.
