Roger Simon touched on a topic that is increasingly difficult to ignore. In his column "God stalks the Kavanaugh hearings," Simon describes a political event transforming into a spiritual one. This is even more interesting because Simon describes himself as a "typical secular agnostic."
The triggering event Simon mentioned in his commentary was the desire of Kavanaugh's 10-year-old daughter "to pray for Dr. Ford."
The secular world is, by its nature, agnostic about God. They don't see Him. They don't know Him. They don't hear Him. In that world humanity arose from a cataclysmic galactic accident and will perish for no better reason at some arbitrary date in the future. But when you live in that world, how do you explain a 10-year-old girl, whose father is the most important man in her life, praying for her father's attackers?
I'm not a secular agnostic. I suppose I brushed up against it at one point or another during my lifetime. Perhaps even several; it is pervasive in our culture. But haven't we all? And in that world, the Bible's Ten Commandments are reduced to none and replaced with just one: He who has the gold makes the rules.
Praying for one's enemies to be changed from the inside out makes no sense on several levels. Why would you pray for someone attacking your share of the gold? Why would you pray, period? An agnostic believes there is nothing there. It's rather like the left's chorus of anguished cries directed up at the sky. It might make some of them momentarily feel better, but beyond that it can have no effect; no one is there to act upon it.
It's sad to think about a group of human beings brought to this condition. It's even sadder to consider the One who created and formed each and every one of us with a distinct purpose in life, linked to His own. So they go their own way and are left separated, unable to communicate with their Maker, unable to hear his voice and unaware of the path God has provided, through Jesus, for their return unto Himself.
As God deals with individuals, he also deals with nations. Thus the picture of God stalking the Kavanaugh hearings is a good one. The participants may be trying to make one point, but God may be making quite a different point.
It often seems that God values human free will far more than we do. God paid a very high price for that, in the form of his Son hanging on a cross, to offer humanity a way back unto Himself. If America has an unfinished task in the world, I would expect to see God, not Russia, tampering in our elections. As to finding evidence of that tampering, you need look no further than a 10-year-old girl praying for her father's enemies.
Of course, if you are a secular agnostic, such divine intervention is impossible. That's what makes this so much fun.
