We have been getting a wide range of reports about the names that are supposedly mentioned in the Epstein files and what difference it makes. We need to understand that just because someone includes a name in an email does not mean someone is guilty of a crime. It could be something as simple as “Hoover said no to the invitation.” That speaks of nothing, let alone some evil activity.
But, taken in context, the names can matter.
We should consider some of the emotion stirring graphics proclaimed in memes and soundbites. We don’t consider them as proclamations of guilt. We consider them as illustrations of the evil we are dealing with. The concept of an elderly man approaching a twelve year old girl on a bed, dressed up to fulfill the fantasy of the man sends shivers up my back. My desire to do something violent becomes very real. It is a good thing that a know the difference between evidence and accusations.
The names matter. The evidence matters even more. There are accusations that most of congress is involved. Is that a true assessment? We will not know until a trustworthy body investigates and shares the results. If there are guilty parties to these repulsive actions then the rule of law is in place to deal with them, and they must be dealt with.
Why?
Because these people are the ones passing laws that determine what is acceptable and what is not. Do you really think that someone participating in molesting a child is to be trusted deciding anything? Do you think murderers should be the ones making laws involving murder? If you can’t trust them with murder can you trust them with tax rates?
So, yes, the names are important. Let the rule of law engage. Let it get busy in doing its job. Remove the perverts and reprobates. The guilty should be in jail for a long time, maybe forever. The innocent should be given an apology. I realize no one is perfect but it is a long way from terrorizing children to being late for work.
Pay attention and remember who helped move things forward and who was an obstruction.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
