It was interesting to note, as each miner was slowly pulled from the ground, one common theme kept reocurring: God. Manifested like the gentleman who fell to the ground praying, loved ones telling reporters all they did was pray, like the miner with a talent for poetry saying, there wasn't just 33 men but 34 when you include the presence of God, and so on.
God is omnipotent to these people. They don't need to explain their faith to anyone. It just is.
Wonder how the sloppy sophist Bill Maher (I actually like Maher by the way. I just feel he's too judgmental about those who believe in religion. He should just ask God to grant him the power to accept that which he does not understand) feels about this. Maybe he should grab a film grew and go to Chile to ask the miners how they could be so silly by praying!
This is a time to rejoice. At such times, demagogues really do seem like cell phones going off in church. I'm not really thinking of cell phones, but that seems like a tame enough image for someone else's blog.
