What the heck is wrong with people? Rick and Kaye Warren are famous pastors, people of faith. Now, I don't particularly like Rick. I don't agree with him on some things, plus we just have personality differences. But right now, my heart goes out to the Warren family. This weekend, they experienced the worst loss someone can experience. They lost a son. Worse, they lost a son to suicide.
If you've never known someone who attempted suicide, you are lucky. Even if unsuccessful, the attempt still leaves you with guilt and pain, always wondering if you could have done more. Depression is a terrible, impossible thing to struggle with, and doubt will always remain.
But, thanks to the wonderful world of the internet, the Warren family, while suffering, is under attack. People are criticizing Rick for the Purpose Driven Life. They are also saying he deserves to suffer because of his politics. These cruel, twisted, evil people are crossing a line. They need to knock it off. Stop spitting on their son's grave before he's even in the ground.
In the mean time, Jesus said in the Beatitudes, "Blessed are those who mourn." He also said, "Blessed are you when people hate you because of me." The Warrens are double blessed. It may not be a good idea to try to harm those that God has double blessed. Just saying.
