Crime does not pay


According to Google Video Canada, this is video of a car theft leading to an accident. There is a saying that crime does not pay. Well in this world it pays for some persons for a time, but in the case of this car thief, he or she paid a huge price for the crime. Jeremiah 2: 26 clause a notes that a thief is shamed when he is discovered, but this thief has both shame and pain, if he or she lived. It is amazing how a human being can look like a rag doll in an accident at high speeds.

I found this good Bobby Orr highlight package on You Tube. Wayne Gretzky had fewer injuries and a longer and greater career than Orr, but in my mind Orr may be the most skilled hockey player in my lifetime. Orr's career was cut short by knee injuries. There is no guarantee in life of course that persons will be able to use certain talents and skills for very long, and so opportunities to use these need to be taken as soon as possible. Time and circumstance limit the use of many human abilities, and so in my case, with God's help, I have attempted to build my theological talents into skills.

    That's awesome!

    They just don't make cartoons like that anymore.

    Aaaah what a funny cartoon that brings back childhood memories. Thats what makes this blog interesting because of the range of diverse topics and their relation to theology. Thank you!

    Hello Ruthie, and thanks for the comment. I agree with your points. To me, modern cartoons often seem to be simplistic and too concerned with constant action.

    Thanks Bobby. I have been looking for a good Bugs Bunny cartoon to post.

    There certainly ARE a lot of interesting things here!

    I watched the cartoon first and enjoyed it a lot. I'm pretty sure Warner Brothers couldn't get away with that much "political incorrectness" today!! I asked myself, are we too sensitive now or were we too "insensitive" 40 years ago?

    Then I watched the car chase clip. The chain of events were simply incredible - I couldn't believe my eyes. I went back to listen to what the voice in the helicopter was saying and I couldn't believe my ears. Who witnesses something like that and says, "That was beautiful! God damn!" ???

    Thanks House.

    I asked myself, are we too sensitive now or were we too "insensitive" 40 years ago?

    Probably a little of both, but nothing offended me in the cartoon.

    "That was beautiful! God damn!" ???

    I heard that as well. It is almost as if the person in the helicopter was primarily concerned with the spectacular nature of the crash as opposed to concern for any victims. I show this type of incident because it is interesting, satirical entertainment, but primarily because it is a theological lesson, as there is a problem of evil in the crime committed but as it turns out, quite possibly in the reaction of the person watching the episode from the helicopter.
