Video – God’s planning commission

I find the comments from McCorvey starting at about 1:40 fascinating:

What she seems to be saying is that it’s a mystery why Roe V. Wade hasn’t been overturned; after all it’s God’s will. But they must be missing some “key element.” So they are looking for that “key element” that will cause Roe to be overturned.

Does every generation view God as a reflection of the current culture? If you go back through books or movies, you’ll see during the 2nd World War, God was seen as a supreme general with angels and heaven organized like an army (e.g. It’s a Wonderful Life). During the ‘60’s-70’s God was seen as the great hippie, full of peace, love, rainbows, butterflies (e.g. Woodstock). Today, can it be that we view the world, and our God as the Supreme Bureaucrat?

She is suggesting that God isn’t granting the overturning of Roe V. Wade (and presumably permitting the slaughter of millions) because some form isn’t filled out correctly or some prayer isn’t being said properly or in the right order? Did she accidently submit the canary copy of her prayers and keep the blue copy for her records? Maybe it’s kneel-pray-chant-pray-chant not chant-pray-chant. Is there some department head that needs to sign off on something?

It just seemed odd to me that someone would talk about God like that, the same way I hear people talk about the City Council or the Planning Commission. Like, you never know what you have to do to get a permit for your hot dog stand, one is granted, one is denied.

Have we entered some sort of cosmic age of caprice where we view our world, and our God as the Supremely Particular Bureaucrat that demands we navigate a forest of rules and regulations and forms and procedures and “key elements” before our prayers and His will is done on earth?
