The God of Compassion

I read an article on the opinion page this morning by Dennis Prager, he was discussing General Pittard and his blog about soldiers committing suicide. Here is little background from Dennis:

[wpcol_1third id=”” class=”” style=””][/wpcol_1third] [wpcol_2third_end id=”” class=”” style=””]On his army blog of January 19, the commanding general of Fort Bliss (Texas), Major General Dana Pittard, wrote regarding members of the military who commit suicide:

“I have now come to the conclusion that suicide is an absolutely selfish act. I am personally fed up with soldiers who are choosing to take their own lives so that others can clean up their mess. Be an adult, act like an adult and deal with your real-life problems like the rest of us.”[/wpcol_2third_end]

If you have been following this story you will know that the US Military made the General retract his comments, I agree with almost everything that Dennis had to say in his article, especially when he  mentions that “judging suicides is morally wrong means that every great religion has been morally wrong in declaring suicide a sin.” –  but I wanted to comment here on part of his conclusion, which I particularly agree with :

That the general was pressured into a public retraction of his position is another manifestation of a totalitarian mentality that pervades our era. Increasingly, no ideas that run against prevailing politically correct doctrines may be publicly expressed. We are no longer permitted to ask whether something said is true; only whether anyone is potentially offended by hearing it. And nothing is as taboo as harshly judging almost any action. Even worse, not only did the general harshly judge military suicides, he denied one of the gods of our times — the god of compassion.

So I guess he is saying that the god of secularists is the “the god of compassion”, I wonder if the god of a lot of American main stream churches isn’t this same god.

It appears to me that a lot of mega church pastors want to get rid of the old testament and God’s original covenant with his chosen people, what they like to refer to as God’s LAW, they have nailed His LAW to the cross, the god they believe in is a god of compassion, so compassionate that he sent his son to die on the cross so that they wouldn’t have to worry about what is right and what is wrong anymore.

I am not saying that Jehovah and his Son are not compassionate but …

What do you think, is there no right and wrong anymore?? OR –  is right wrong and wrong right now???
