So Madonna is guilty of the deaths of 15 people last Saturday because she had performed the Bulgarian leg of her Sticky and Sweet tour.
Is this the best Christians can come up with? Their loving god kills people because another person, entirely separate from the 15 unfortunates, does a concert said Christians don’t hold with?
Her performance was on 29 August, the day Orthodox Christians mark the day John the Baptist lost his head – literally. (Whenever I think of that I can’t help but hear Herodias say, “Salomé, dear, not in the fridge!”, but I digress.)
Anyway, as we blogged a while back, Christians weren’t too happy that Madge was coming to perform.
Now they’re patting themselves on their backs for showing prescience and are saying that her decision to perform in the country brought bad luck, resulting in a boating accident that killed the 15 people.
Duh!

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
