John McCain, and “Not Speaking Evil of the Dead”.

As all the reflections upon the death of McCain fill the news feeds of nearly everyone, one enduring theme seems to emerge in a great number of them. We are told it is a virtue to never speak ill of the dead, and unmannerly, if not outright sin, to ignore this maxim.
I’d like to make a novel suggestion to those espousing this view. Stop speaking evil of the bible. I can only assume that the professing Christians who make such statements are tutored by their televisions or perhaps family or local traditions, and either don’t read their bibles, and therefore make such statements of ignorance, or have read their bibles and feel themselves at liberty to despise it and advocate that it’s principles are evil. Because it could not be more obvious that the bible calls to remembrance, as a matter of the infallible divine record, the wickedness of men at their death, from Cain, to Saul, to Ahab, to Judas, etc., and everything between.
The books of Kings and Chronicles are particularly notable in this regard as they do it constantly when recounting the wicked political lives of perverse rulers while lamenting the ruinous results of their corrupt influence…. a very exact parallel of what all our modern whiners are condemning.
If this is you, reader, I have some advice for you…. don’t get your morality from your Cultural Marxist church, from your antichrist television, or from the blasphemous culture spawned by the fornication of these two parties. First you look like a hypocrite to wax so jealous for such a principle in reproof of the faithful, when you are doing so for the sake of men who spent their lives justifying the wicked and slandering the righteous. If you were going to be jealous…. just maybe it could be for the innocent. The pretense of being zealous for godliness might actually prove credible at that point.
Secondly, if you’re going to claim to be a Christians, perhaps you might seek to attain as much conscience about not speaking evil of the bible, as you do of speaking evil of the wicked. Because when you pontificate about how evil the bible is, you look like an enemy. That should matter to you. And to every Christian. Because if the bottom line is that you’re concerned but with using traditions to gain esteem to yourself, and you don’t care about the oppression of the earth by the wicked and are unmoved by grotesque injustice or the tragedies, outrages and sufferings of the innocent, or for the truth or the people and cause of God, then how are you fundamentally any different than a seal that will do tricks for a fish? The bible has a lot to say about that. Besides many other things, it says this….
John 5:44 KJV
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
