The incompetent god
Pastor Stiegemeyer's The Burr in the Burgh reports that author Tony Campolo has bought into Rabbi Harold Kushner's cop-out of suggesting that God simply isn't up to the task of preventing tragedy and injustice.
As the good pastor points out, the god of Campolo is not the God Who said to the wind and the waves, "Be still!" It is not the Creator Campolo describes, but a human creation.
Process theology isn't merely gibberish which deprives the Faith- and all theistic faiths- of their content. It's a cop-out. And given the devastation it visits upon the religion(s) which it seeks so inauthentically to vindicate... what's the point?
