Feb. 17, 1989, the Christian Devin Lindsay explained
exhaustively in the READERS IN COUNSEL section of the JAPAN TIMES
that the social maladies in the USA like high murder rate, drug
addiction etc. are the fault of the evolution theory and
ungodliness. Many Newspapers are very eager to publish such
outrageous nonsense.
My answer to his Letter (ignored):
I strongly disagree with Mr. Lindsay's need for an omniscient,
omnipotent and omnipresent God for the betterment of the world
(Feb. 17). Does Mr. Lindsay not know how many crimes and murders
were committed during the past 2000 years in the name of an
omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God? And do we not right
now witness how in the name of an other omniscient, omnipotent
and omnipresent God Khomeini calls for the murder of author
Rushdie?
I also doubt that the murderers and drug addicts Mr. Lindsay mentioned in this letters come from atheistic homes. On the contrary, in interviews with drug addicts and criminals in my home country West Germany I found that most of them grow up in fear of God and had rather strict home surroundings.
Interesting is also that in Japan where people generally do not worship an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God the crime rate is so much lower.
I do not want to elaborate, since it is my experience that letters which are critical of the Faith are not published. An other aspect of an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God?
He cannot create a better world, but he knows how to creep
into the mind of influencial poeple like editors.
