This morning I watched a video of Stephen Fry bashing the heck out of God. The old me would have turned it off, but I listened to what he had to say. He talked a lot about God being a maniac for creating suffering.
This morning at Highlands Church, hospice chaplain Tim Pynes, shared a message about suffering. For me, Tim’s sermon was the perfect thing to hear after listening to Fry’s message. Listen here… it’s EXCELLENT!
Being a Christian, my view of suffering is not a “why does kind of thing happen?” but more of knowing that through the suffering, there is always Love. I do believe in heaven and I do trust God. This week, I’ll sit down with my friends and discuss suffering and post our thoughts here. My mind is racing and it’s late and I need to try to get some sleep right now…
I was looking for a good video clip of Stephen Fry’s interview but found this… I really appreciate everything that Russell Brand is saying in this.
