The Void of Reason
By Keith Riler

If you missed it, President Obama gave a twelve-minute speech at the abortion giant's annual gala, and finished with, "Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you."

There are so many things wrong with this, but let's focus on the fact that it doesn't make any sense. On this, pro-lifers and pro-choicers should agree.

First, Planned Parenthood. It is the nation's largest abortion business. Abortion provides more of its revenues than any other product or service. It slices, stabs, chemical burns, and vacuums humans to death for $500-$900 a head.

Now God. Certainly, God is opposed to the cruel termination and destruction of His creation. No God would bless man's arrogation of His role as he who gives and he who takes away. In fact, very early on God strongly registered His displeasure with man's presumption that he might "be like God, knowing good and evil." For these and other reasons no major religion has ever blessed abortion. But on Friday, April 26, President Obama did.

And just to cover all the bases, we can also agree that a thinking atheist wouldn't invoke God. Without a belief in God and creation, one would not say "God bless."

Therefore, given Planned Parenthood's business, God's favorable view of his own work as good, and the thinking atheist clarification, Barack Obama's statement of blessing makes no sense.

The president's nonsense brings to mind Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil," a phrase she coined fifty years ago after attending the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. Arendt was commenting not just on the commonality of evil, but on its signature lack of depth and mental effort.

Arendt's observations of evil's thoughtlessness are recounted in an article by Alessandra Stoppa titled "Journey Into the Heart of Nothingness." The author recalls Eichman's vapid final words before being hanged, in which he both rejected eternal life and vowed "we shall all meet again." More nonsense. Stoppa elaborates:

'Evil is banal because it has no root,' wrote Arendt... Banality is, therefore, this 'absence of thought.' It was not that Eichmann was stupid. He was thoughtless, 'something by no means identical to stupidity.' The evil of which Arendt speaks is 'distance from reality' -- from oneself, first of all. It is a void of reason, caused by a lack of relationship with facts.

No Christian at heart would say "God bless you" to baby killers. What a disgusting man he is!

Monster.
