With apologies to C.S. Lewis for copying his style, my attempt to expose evil. I’m grateful that Desiring God gives me these opportunities.
The Subtle Art of Destroying Humans
I am glad to see you are finally learning to be subtler in manipulating your human. As I had warned you, I was concerned that your boisterous assault on the unborn vermin with the rare chromosomal makeup (the “disabled,” as the other vermin call them) was going to expose all our plans to destroy them.
So I congratulate you on the recent article in The New York Times, “Breakthroughs in Prenatal Screening.” I can see your skills developing. We must continue on this path as it does two important things for us: 1) it further blinds the humans to our real schemes; and 2) it rids us of having to deal with those foul, weak, “special” children that the Enemy calls “indispensable.” We mustn’t lose our grip here.
Hi John. I’m new to your site and I love it! I especially enjoyed this piece, since A) I love C.S. Lewis, and B) I have a seven year-old son with Down syndrome named William. I’m thrilled to find Godly wisdom and advice from dads with older children with disabilities; I will need guys like you in the next few years as my wife and I start to have conversations with William about faith, friends, sin and grace, adolescence and adulthood; not to mention the question of how to broach the subject of William’s disability with his younger brother. Just know you’ve got young men watching how you do fatherhood. (No pressure.)
I’ve written a couple of pieces about my own hangups with William’s disability and God’s gracious work in our lives on my blog: http://asiwasessaying.blogspot.com/2012/10/letters-to-john.html & http://asiwasessaying.blogspot.com/2012/10/letter-to-myself.html. If you have a minute, check it out; as you can see, I’m just starting to understand some of the stuff you’ve already figured out. But God is gracious and patient with me.
Anyway, the main point is: thanks for what you do.
