Blinded by Normalcy: What is Life Anyways?

Religion kills. Sure we remember something about the Crusades or the Conquistadors. But this is different. This is personal. On the night of January 26, 2009 Thomas Pauli, a homeless man living in Grand Rapids, Michigan was refused entrance to a local "Christian" homeless shelter. The temperature was -3. At 6 a.m. the next morning, Pauli was found frozen to death in a mechanic's lot right down the street from the mission. An unsuspecting public awoke to news that shelter employees, while literally standing under the pretentious banner of "new life in Christ", had placed the value of law over the value of human life. Their failure to act led to Pauli's death-or as I would suggest, his murder. Rev. Kurtis J. VanderMolen, a graduate student at Chicago Theological Seminary, delivers the very first literary eulogy for religion. It is time for a resurrection-a reimagining-of a bold new revolution. Let me be the first author to introduce you to Grace... the Person.
