A Tool Named Val

I am sure the few folks who I have sent here to be amused by this strange phenomenon and the even stranger Tool named Val did not find my last reference to his post about his porn problem suprising at all. Gross? Sure. Out of place? Absolutely. But surprising? Nope.

But I was a little surprised at his last post. Even for this guy, who has been known to spew racist remarks, hatred and general nonsensical ramblings, this last post of his shows what a hard cold heart he really has.

By now everybody probably knows of the untimely death of Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter due to a tragic accident. Several people had posted prayer requests (I even received a few today and I am not even tied to the adoption community that Steven apparently influenced so heavily) and people were lifting this family up to God throughout the day as they struggled with the obvious pain this would bring.

But what does our friend the Tool say about it all? Read for yourself:

I appreciate the tragedy, but I am not up in arms calling for prayer for the family. God placed the child in the care of this couple, providing the means for them to travel to China 3 times to bring back children to raise. I can't see how the events of last night were not part of a plan He has for this family, so for me to pray to God and say please comfort this family seems a bit pretentious on my part. He will do what He chooses as it was his choice to make this child part of the family and then to take the child away as he did. Anyone who says otherwise has issues with the concept of an all-powerful Creator.

Wow. I'll tell you what I am praying for. That no member of the Chapman family ever finds this guys website. To say those types of things at a time such as this is wrong. It's mean spirited. But his posts have proven him to be that way all the time.

And what I think is funny is how he handles being called out on it. He brings up me. Me. What do I have to do with this insensitive blogger and his weird postings? Well read his comments on this post. A visitor to his site made a great point about prayer for comfort and that Jesus cried when Lazarus died. What does the Tool say?

How hard-hearted can I be? I put pictures of cute and fuzzy animals on my blog as often as I speak my mind!

Oh wait, I forgot, I am a racist and that makes me hard-hearted. To make matters more confusing, when I try to be genuine and post about human struggles (like my one about struggling with pornography) I get more attention from my internet stalker.

She posted something about me being weird or gross and since it was a general link to my blog I had to backtrack to the date she posted last to realize she was talking about my porn post (about fighting it). You can try to figure her out at

Your internet stalker? I may keep you on my radar to see what stupid comments you make and I may repeatedly reference you as proof of the "wild wild west" mentality of the web but stalking you is something I have never done nor would I really want to.

Get over yourself. And maybe, just maybe try to find it in you somewhere to listen to what your visitor said. "Soften that hard heart, dude."
