Dear Jepthah, God’s Will In Not A Congressional Bill

You can’t just tack on a rider and think that has anything to do with what God has already purposed. Your stupid vow does not change the vote from the floor of the Throne room. Vote. Singular.

If you really loved your daughter, if you really thought God would demand a life for the broken vow, then why didn’t you take the hit?  Stand by your fillabustering convictions and throw yourself on the pyre of divine wrath you feared?

Thankfully, we have all learned from your mistake.

No one ever thinks that what they say on earth must be bound by God in heaven at all times, in all ways, no matter how stupid those words might be.  We are far more enlightened. Far more wise.

    Radiolab: “In Silence”. Have a listen–the silence is reversed for Jepthath. Thoughts?
