Are you ordained, Corey? I can hear you saying these very words from up in the pulpit.
As for Ms. O, you caused to me to watch all six of these videos for my chu’ch this mawnin’. While I acknowledge her faith, I think it’s just to be expected how she imagines the way her life works.
Anyone like Oprah who has been “blessed” beyond any mortal’s wildest dreams is naturally going to think that God works for them. But for every Oprah in this world, there are 20,000,000 people whose lives have been constrained, contained, squashed, or stopped dead, and not necessarily because they did anything wrong themselves or because they didn’t have faith or didn’t “surrender” enough.
When someone subscribes to the “you create your own reality” school of thought, they tend to ignore the limits created by accidents of birth, by historical circumstance, and by the power relationships in our society. In this way of thinking, someone who fails to transcend such limits just did something wrong with his life.
Well, to me, such a belief is a kind of pride.
