I Will Love Them, and I Will Follow Them Unto Death

Frida Ghitis: God is above and beyond the death obsessed filth of our selfishness. She asks if we really speak to this god as if he cannot imagine what it means to hurt? Does not god, the good and loving god, know this pain and hate these things more than we can begin to imagine?, she says. Ghitis: Because jesus suffered, he can declare that a day is coming when no longer the news media will bury us beneath stories of suffering and discord and despair. And god will topple the systems of power over every crying woman standing in front of him, writes Ghitis.
