God Died in Alabama…Suffocated By Nitrogen Hypoxia. 2024-01-09T06:11:40-06:00 Jeff Hood

God died in Alabama. The death wasn’t natural. The manner was a homicide. God suffocated. Never to be heard from again. Maybe not viscerally. How could one murder God? Sometimes our minds are imprisoned by the constraints of imagination.

The death of God happened when morality slowly expired in the hearts and minds of Alabamians. When the populace became convinced that Jesus’ admonition to “Love your neighbor as you Love yourself” was a silly admonition for those who don’t understand the complexities of society. I mean Love is such a strong word. Besides, who is one’s neighbor? The only neighbors that most Alabamians know are the neighbors who look just like them. Such a lack of awareness is deadly when it comes to God. We are talking about a God who thrives on Love for all. Societies are judged from the bottom up not the top down. Under such a measurement, all begins at the bottom. So where does the death of all lead? If God Loves all…then to not Love all is to not Love God. Without Love God becomes nothing more than a figment of the imagination of a populace. Something that they think they know something about…but truly have no knowledge of whatsoever. God breathes Love in and exhales Love out. Without Love, God has no breath. God is suffocated. God dies. Indeed, God died in Alabama when it left what should have been its’ first Love…the God whose name is Love.

Suffocation. The suffocation of Love. Such suffocation is obviously at the forefront of the minds of Alabamians right now. In fact, the State is trying very hard to become the first State to execute someone using the method of suffocation…calling it nitrogen hypoxia. Kenny Smith was convicted of a heinous murder over 30 years ago and now Alabamians are determined to suffocate him. Why? Love is dead in the hearts of Alabamians…and all manner of lunacy has become common. Can you imagine the Love of God ever leading someone to suffocate someone else? Love doesn’t do such things.

Alabamians have killed God. Love is gone. Love suffocated. Love was executed via nitrogen hypoxia.
