Today Christians around the world remember the “Death of God” on the Cross.
It is a story that is capable of moving the most detached soul. The needless suffering, especially of a good person, is always distressing.
On Remembrance Day people around the world remember the death of millions of soldiers and civilians in the two World Wars. Moving ceremonies take place at memorials and cenotaphs. The waste of life is grimly remembered.
All very appropriate but what about those good people who die daily at the hands of others? In the last few days 150 people were killed by a mentally ill co-pilot and 170 young people by fanatical Muslim fighters!
Surely God “dies” every time one person kills another?
