sermon
when i was a kid a pastor gave a sermon about a guy on a boat. it sank. and he's bobbing around in the water praying to god to save him. soon enough, a sailboat comes along offering assistance. which the guy waves off. god will save me. later a power boat comes along. again it's waved off. god will save me. then the coast guard comes along. again, he refuses help. god will save me. finally, a helicopter tries to pluck him from the sea. god will save me. but the man drowns. and goes to heaven. where he asks, god! why didn't you save me?!?! to which god responds, i sent you three boats and a helicopter. i'm reminded of this story when i see the anti-vaxers being stupid. their kids are gonna die. and they're gonna die. and they'll stand there at the pearly gates demanding from god, why did you let my kids die from such a horrible disease?!?!?! to which god will reply, i sent you vaccines. and doctors to administer them. and the internet. so you can educate yourself enough to identify the false prophets.
