SOLAR ECLIPSE
“God
is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and
eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens.”
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on X.
Chaos!
Omens! Signs! Portents!
The earth quakes and the moon blots out the
sun!
Something is seriously awry in the country.
Clearly, someone is
trying to warn us of something.
Clearly, we have angered God!
I
am not saying, “Clearly we have angered God!" in the sense that I
genuinely don’t understand science and as a consequence everything in
the world frightens me, like a little baby who is not sure the sun will
come back ever again. I am a member of Congress. I know that the sun
will come back, because we passed a law about daylight saving time and now the sun is obligated to us.
I don’t know why more people are not more terrified of the signs.
Everywhere
I look, big red ones saying “STOP,” placed in the streets, almost as if
coordinated. Sometimes, when I try to cross the road, a red hand
flashes in the air, along with mysterious numbers. A countdown. But to
what? Then the illuminated white figure of a man appears, and the cars,
in concert, stop.
The
other day, a liquid fell from the sky. Wet, like tears. But cold, not
quite like tears. It was frightening, as though the sky was weeping. And
then there was a rumbling sound, like God’s Harley Davidson motorcycle
was starting up, or God was unfurling a really heavy flag. What did it
mean? And sometimes there are little things in the sky that look like
chemtrails, but fluffier. Who put them there and why?
Sometimes,
the rivers rise. Sometimes, I see a duck for no good reason. I have
never done anything wrong in my life, but others have. Maybe Speaker
Mike Johnson (R-La.). Maybe others. We must outlaw everything to be
safe.
The
Earth is changing in terrifying ways and we have got to act
differently, but not along the lines of speeding the transition to
renewable energy. I mean in the way of, maybe we should sacrifice a
goat. I am a rational woman of faith, and I think maybe we should pray
hard on Monday so the moon will release the sun and not eat it.
But
while we are at it, let’s examine this double standard! When the air
fills with smoke and the temperature rises, you say it’s good science
to say, “The scary thing that the Earth is doing right now is because
mankind did something wrong,” but I say that the eclipse and the
earthquake are because of sins one time and suddenly I “don’t understand
basic science”?
Yes,
God is punishing us. It used to be you could walk all the way across
the comfortable flat of the Earth and the sun would rise and set in an
orderly way. Now, the Earth is a ball hurtling through the vacuum of
space. Now, we have WiFi, but should we?
Clearly, someone is upset. But fortunately, I understand what’s going on. The signs tell me everything."
