God And Oil

I have a policy of not discussing religion on this blog, but there are times when otherwise relatively sensible people step so far over the line that comment becomes unavoidable. Just read the below:

CNSNews.com) - As the price of oil continues to rise, some are turning to God and prayer for an answer to their financial troubles.

The Pray at the Pump Movement, founded by Rocky Twyman, has been holding prayer vigils at gas stations across the country. On Monday, Twyman decided to take his movement from Exxon and Shell stations straight to the steps of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., hoping to encourage the oil-rich country to raise the amount of barrels they release each day....

It's hard to imagine a more useless endeavour than this sort of thing.

However, God - or at least the concept of God - has taken a hand in this oil crisis... Not directly of course, but through the hands and manipulations of man.

Osama Bin Laden once said he wanted oil to reach $144.00/barrel. He believed that a price like that would cripple the West. Turns out he was pretty close to the mark.

The price of oil just reached that level, and we see everywhere how our oil-based economy is in the process of collapse.

So how has God been used in all this?

Well, Osama and the Muslims do not believe that the Jews worship the true God, so all those Jewish claims about being "God's Chosen People" and that God gave them the land where Israel sits today to be Jewish property forever and ever... is just so much foolish babble.

The Muslims want Israel pushed into the sea, off the map, whatever, but superpower America has been preventing that.If the Muslims can cripple the United States by wrecking our economy through the use of oil as a WMD, they will. Take America, it's military, and it's money out of the Middle East picture and Israel crumbles quickly. Forget England, they've been toothless on the issue since 1948.

And if Israel decides to toss a few of their nuclear WMD's around in a last-ditch attempt to survive, the Muslims are more than willing to absorb the resulting damages... if Israel is eliminated far into the foreseeable future.

Isreal does not have enough nukes to cause a nuclear winter, or turn the world into a pile of radioactive rubble. The world would survive Israel's final moment of total insanity. Only if the United States was crazy enough to get invloved with its nukes would we see worldwide war between the superpowers, resulting in the destruction of civilization as we know it.

So, that's how God and oil are completely intertwined in this unbelievable mess.
