Joe Paterno Was Punished Enough By Having To Suffer Death...

Westboro Baptist Church does not need to add to what Joe Paterno suffered for his crimes of accomplice. Joe Paterno suffered enough on this Earth, and only G-d knows what Joe Paterno is suffering on the other side. Westboro, like everyone else, should accept that Joe Paterno had and has been no more and no less punished than he needed and needs to be.

Who's Worse: The Sinner or the Enabler Thereof (And Also A Sinner)?

Having gone through abuse (though never sexual abuse), I have to wonder who's worse between the to-be-late (and justly punished) JoePa or the short-term escaper Jerry Sandusky (who got off in this life only because of "Coker" (1977), "Kennedy" (2008), and JoePa and other child-molester enablers). JoePa is the enabler of the short-term escaper Jerry Sandusky, and Jerry Sandusky is clearly the sinner who is (or rather, was) enabled. Compared to my dad's and grandparents' enablers regarding me, JoePa is the sexual-abuse equivalent regarding the Jerry Sandusky victims.

Meanwhile, a Biblical equivalent of my dad's enablers (including my dad's mother in law) and of Joe Paterno includes the Corinthian community of Messianic Jews who allowed a young Jewish Corinthian to sleep with his stepmother:

 ¹ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named^[a] among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! ² And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. ³ For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. ⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.^[b]
6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ⁷ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.^[c] 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Was Paul allowed to let the enablers get away with what they were doing? Absolutely not:

   
⁹ I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. ¹⁰ Yet I certainly didnot mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person. 
¹² For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? ¹³ But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”^[d]

Were Paterno correctly handled in the American legal system, he would've been just as my dad's enablers legally should be and the Jewish Corinthians Biblically were: accomplices. Paterno can be thankful that he escaped justice in the short term, however, because he wasn't prosecuted legally. Being prosecuted Biblically is enough for him.


As I said, meanwhile, I have to wonder who is worse: the sexually and otherwise immoral, such as Jerry Sandusky; or the "puffed up" such as Joe Paterno. To sin is one thing; to knowingly enable and even encourage sin is another.

Only For the Sake of Sandusky's and JoePa's Victims Do I Think That...

Joe Paterno is getting what he deserves. "Coker" (1977) and "Kennedy" (2008) allowed Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno not to die in the electric chair or by lethal injection when the Penn State Scandal eve started going on. At least Joe Paterno is dying surrounded by family and friends, with one last chance to confess and repent as well as inform on whatever he needs to inform on regarding Sandusky-- including what he's still held back.

As for Jerry Sandusky's and Joe Paterno's then-child, now-adult victims; they don't get any chance at anything-- their lives are indefinitely ruined. In fact, you would know that at least two of  Sandusky's and JoePa's victims faced backlash and otherwise the opposite of support if you paid attention to the news. As Joe Paterno gets his Lat Rites, by the way, may he learn what these very words mean:

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8 NKJV

JoePa and Jerry Sandusky reaped death and destruction for those then-child, now-adult victims (among whom is one young adult who was one of the two aforementioned victims of backlash). JoePa is now facing death, and who knows with Jerry Sandusky?

So I Read A Friend From A Letter, And...

Just pray for me and pray for the friend. To make a long story short, because of my OCD/Anxiety/Depression/unmedicated-mild ADD, possible Aspbeger's, Diplegic Spastia Cerebral Palsy, and "friends" and family either abandoning or even outright abusing me at various points in my life; I realistically have ups and downs, trust issues, etc.. I'm not going to trust everybody (Don't ask; I've already learned not to trust everybody, long story short. There's wisdom in wariness.) and I'm not going to stop speaking the truth (or at least trying to speak the truth) on my family and other people, and religion and other matters.

But from now on, if you abandon or even abuse me, I won't get too mad about it; I'll just let whatever you do against me be your own damned problem. I'll let that I'm so used to being abandoned and abused help me to not even be phased or surprised anymore by any abandonment and abuse that I receive. And as I've told some people; when you need me, I might not be there for you because I might not be able to be-- and then what are you going to do?

I See That Some People Read My Open Letter And...

Removed me on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Good! I don't need you, anyway. As I wrote:


 I define Facebook as "Face"book-- meaning that I'm not hiding my face or anything else from you. If I have something not to hide, I don't hide it. I didn't ask you to agree with me on everything, but as I've said, I can back up what I say. If you want to agree to disagree and even not debate, you can choose to keep any reservations to yourself. 


I also stated, "I will always back up what I say." That you can't back up your disagreements with me is a shame. You're the kind (at least some of you are the kind) who "have affected me to state, 'At points, if I weren't a Christian, I wouldn't be a Christian.'" You don't know how to agree to disagree and still maintain love and friendships-- and you even have the hutzpah to go behind my back to my mom and my sister. What a shame! 

A Letter To Those On Facebook Who Are Cowardly Enough Not To Tell Me What They Really Think Of Me...

I've come to understand that some people have come to my mom and sister and stated that they either don't even look at my Facebook page for various reasons or look and still have plenty of complaint about what I post, etc.. First of all, I define Facebook as "Face"book-- meaning that I'm not hiding my face or anything else from you. If I have something not to hide, I don't hide it. I didn't ask you to agree with me on everything, but as I've said, I can back up what I say. If you want to agree to disagree and even not debate, you can choose to keep any reservations to yourself. But then don't come my mom and sister instead of coming to me or just plain keeping your reservations or disagreements to yourself.

Second of all, "social networking" means being social and working with what you have in the fishnet called life-- let's face that we're all swimming upstream together in at least one or another way, whether or not we like swimming up the stream of life together. When we swim together, whether or not we want to swim together, we're expected to be honest with and about each other and about ourselves to each other.

Third, as I've said before, I'm not honest about those that I don't love and don't have to love. At points, if I weren't a Christian, I wouldn't be a Christian. But since I am a Christian, I have to love even my worst of worst enemies-- some of whom have affected me to state, " At points, if I weren't a Christian, I wouldn't be a Christian." Some of these same people have also affected me to agree with Mark Twain: "If Jesus were here today there's one thing he wouldn't be--a Christian."


I could go on; but in conclusion, if you have a problem with me, you come to me or call me out if you feel that

you need to. If necessary on my part, I will respond to any charge that you bring against me; and I will always

back up what I say.

I'm Still Waiting For More Interaction With My Blog, But...

I've made clear that I can't control the comments on my blog like I can on YouTube. For example, here's what's currently marked as spam on one YouTube video but left up for anyone at their own volition and behest to see. However, it's censored here:

Ugly Jew, [blank] you Jews and go swallow a dime.

Pivotman1 6 hours ago

The coward has an ambiguous profile picture, by the way, and he was blocked. As I've made clear, meanwhile, you don't have to agree with everything that I say. But at least, as you can see, I back up what I say and do so in legal, moral, and ethical ways (or at least I try to. Some people, however, would disagree and have disagreed. Of course, some of them I've had to correct or set the record straight for.). 

Disagreeing, I should add, does not include Mormon and other proselytizing. I'm very content with being an open-about-faith and non-proselytizing Messianic Jew, todam rabam. Disagreeing, as seen above, also does not include lying (intentionally or even unintentionally but to the point where it may have well been intentional). Back up what you say to the best of your legal, ethical, moral, and other abilities and knowledge. I'm willing to go rosh l'rosh; but only if intellectual and other honesty, and good and honest intentions are brought to the table.

For example, you might think that Tiki Barber rightly left his then-pregnant wife and four children (two of whom were on the way) for then-23-year-old Traci Lynn Johnson. You are in a moral and ethical tight spot if you think that Tiki Barber was okay to divorce Ginny Cha Barber and leave the Cha-Barber children; but as long as you reasonably and honestly try to argue your point, I'm willing to debate with you or agree to disagree. However, I won't tolerate dishonest trash like this:

While I can’t speak for Tiki, at first I found the story about his and my relationship to be humorous. The scandalous headlines, such as “Sneaky Tiki” and factually incorrect details – like Tiki leaving his wife while she was eight months pregnant with twins – that graced the cover of “reputable” newspapers amused me. Amusing because I, quite frankly, knew the truth. I knew that Tiki didn’t leave Ginny when she was eight months pregnant for me. I knew that his relationship had deteriorated before my relationship with him was even a thought in his mind. I knew that I was never Tiki’s babysitter or that he “lavished” me with expensive gifts or snuck into my college dorm room (I lived on an all girl’s floor with a key swipe entrance … think how difficult it would be to sneak a 5’10, 200-pound, black man into that environment?). Plain and simple, the truth was and still is that Tiki and I never crossed the line of being inappropriate while he was married and nor was our relationship inappropriate now that he wasn’t.

If Traci Lynn Johnson ever does decide to take me and others up, by the way, I and others will gladly tell her how we feel about her part in her affair with Tiki Barber. Furthermore, by the way, "think how difficult it would be to sneak a 5’10, 200-pound, black man into that environment?" It happened at Notre Dame all the time-- that is, my now-former collegemates would brag about sneaking guys in, etc. at least once in a while; and they have swipe-card keys at Notre Dame-- in fact, one girl snuck in a guy during Snowpocalypse, which she mentioned. 

As I've Stated Before, I've Learned That People Want Honesty & Exposes...

People don't want (as my mom puts it) "sweetness and light"; or if they do, they're not the kind of people who are seeking the world and those in it for what they are. People who are seeking the reality of the world and those in it liked when I was talking about myself and my imperfections, my family for good and bad, and anyone and anything else for good and bad.

People might say that they don't (as Geraldo Rivera's now-ex mother in law once put what Geraldo was exposing back then) the "seamy" side of life; but I'm not even into, say, "Men In Lace Panties, and The Women Who Love Them." I'm into exposing the murderer and Self-Hating Jew that John "Jack" Czarnecki is (and I'm still waiting for the DOJ or Luzerne County DA to get back to me, because second-degree murder with murder-malice intent is a serious crime-- no matter who's afraid of how Jack Czarnecki might retaliate for trying to get him prosecuted)-- and Jack Czarnecki's my paternal granddad (albeit estranged)! And as I've said before, man b'Gei Hinnom was Jack Czarnecki doing murdering his good, Jewish-Evangelical Catholic mother, anyway?

Given that I'm into confronting the self-made misfits and should-be pariahs in my own family (though I'm not popular in a lot of the circles of my family because of that), I'm into confronting others (I'm telling you that to revisit that Chapelgate incident is tempting-- see, I just exposed myself again! I fall into temptation, and yet I said that I never wanted to talk about or go to Chapelgate again!). And I exposed myself (besides admitting to being tempted re the Chapelgate incident) recently!

As I said, while not everybody wants honesty; a lot of people want honesty and exposes from the levels of self honesty and exposure, to confronting and holding the world and those in it accountable for who and what they are!

Repost: What Is With Everyone Suing and Prosecuting Everyone Nowadays?

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2011

What Is With Everyone Suing and Prosecuting Everyone Nowadays?

For example, Dr. Conrad Murray-- who should've lost his license but not been prosecuted. What; are my family going to be prosecuted for my aunt Mary Carole's death in 2008 when she decided not to take her insulin that day and was a determined alcoholic, anyway? We couldn't have done anything about her. And Justin Bieber-- honestly, don't sue the woman. Besides, you, Mr. Bieber, pulled a Herman Cain-- responded to legitimate allegations too late and amatuerly.

Save the prosecution for those like my granddad who ought to be prosecuted for the 2007 malice-murder-intent scenario and Social Security fraud regarding my great-grandmother Mary Trudnak Czarnecki. Save the suing for real discrimination, theft, and other lawsuit-worthy cases. Don't be frivolous or unjust in suing or prosecuting. The Criminal Justice and Corrections System in America is clogged up enough. Also-- as with Mr. Bieber--, why not resolve matters as soon as possible instead of a long time later if you have nothing to hide and something legitimate to contend?

Besides, 1 Corinthians 6 reads in part:

 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? ⁴ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? ⁵ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? ⁶ But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
⁷ Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? ⁸ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you dothese things to your brethren! ⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,^[a] nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

B'HaNefesh L'Hanukkah... Lo! Is "The Jewish Journal" Going El She'ol?

Here's a parsha from the "Jewish Perspectives On the New Testament" comments:

OK, though I KNOW I am wasting my time responding to egomaniacs like Ben Plonie I will respond:
1) Because Plonie is not alone and most Jews in their over-zealous concern for “Jewish unity” speak in “we” and “us” terms constantly. Thereby arrogantly taking it upon themselves to speak for “me”.
2) I would not trust you ugly, 4-eyed, bald-headed, obese or scrawny, physically and morally wretched creatures to give me the time of day. You will NEVER speak for me.
3) The physical ugliness of so many Orthodox Jews (and other peoples) is a reflection of their inner ugliness, I have concluded. I know it is harsh and politically incorrect to judge a book by its cover, however I don’t do politically correct unless it is correct.
4) Even if Plonie was joking or half-joking in his previous reply to me, I know and believe that “much truth is said in jest.” I assume he means what he said, but like a coward, which many Jews consider brilliance, he can always say, ‘I was only joking.’ Hence try to make me feel inferior/stupid and as usual add more to the already over-inflated egos of too many Jews.

Comment by theleviteline.com on 12/17/11 at 2:53 pm

Now I’ll waste more of my time on this Sabbath (and typing in cyberspace is not a violation of Shabbat, because I decide the limits, not the ugly Orthodox rabbis or their brain-washed bully followers), replying to Ben Plonie:
Plonie said, “It is my authoritative ruling in your favor that you are indeed no longer a Jew.” I believe I already made that decision, independent of you (whether that you is singular or plural).
Plonie also says, “There is no coercion in Judaism…” While Plonie and most (Ashke)nazi Jews will not comprehend this, my Jewishness was ethnic as well as religious. As far as Judaism or Christianity/paganism or any other brain-washing and brain-washed cult/religion, that is definitely OUT. However my ethnicity as a Jew (and I reiterate that the many like Plonie who think because their ancestors lived in Poland for centuries or now live in America, makes them Poles, like other Poles, or Americans like everyone else; there are/were gas chambers for such willfully ignorant morons.) I now consider myself a Hebrew and a Levite (hence my tag as theleviteline.com) and neither a Jew by religion (or any other religion) nor exclusively part of the Judean nation. A nation which now calls itself Israel without any cognizance or even interest in comprehending the actual meaning of the word and person Israel. Again, completely inexcusable. To read the Torah (5 written books of Moses) and the prophets and not even question, never mind answer and comprehend who Israel is, is again completely inexcusable. God damn you for this and I believe He has and will continue to do so. I hope He does, you deserve it. Your life may be a big joke, mine is not.
As for my organization, I have two board members, both non-Jews, because you are all too brain-washed and brain-dead to have a clue, as usual, of your own needs, or of God’s plan. Again INEXCUSABLE! I also have people signing up on line along with a growing email list. I also have visitors from all over the world everyday!! I’m quite certain nothing I could ever do would impress the likes of you. However, I do not respect you ugly 4-eyed, blue-eyed, obese, scrawny, bald-headed, physically and mentally diseased people enough to seek your approval. I can just look and say, Uh Uh. No thanks!
Finally, because you cannot grasp the meaning of my words, you should suppress your arrogance and ignorance by blaming me. It is your lack of depth of comprehension that is the problem.
I hope you won’t respond Plonie, but of course you have the right to do so.
For all the polite cowards who think I’m being disrespectful there is good reason for this. I do not respect such people, nor the religions that produce them.

Comment by theleviteline.com on 12/17/11 at 3:24 pm

To theleviteline guy,
you wrote that you were writing to Plonie but went on to attack “While Plonie and most (Ashke)nazi Jews will not comprehend this..” Yes, we do. We know Judaism is but one branch on the tree of the Jewish people. We understand that it can be a religion, culture, civilization, an ethnic identity and entre in to a nation. But I am certain many of us understand when someone defines himself outside the group - a very large and diverse group - they are, as you said, no longer Jewish. That is fine. It happens everyday. There is no problem with that. There is a problem when you burst into a Jewish Newspaper blog and dam people because you disagree with them OR they do not care to follow you. If this hurts your feelings or bothers you.. as my late father use to say to people who did not follow his jokes, fuck you.

Comment by Phillip Cohen on 12/17/11 at 3:55 pm 

In Response To Analytical Adam (And Watch the Negative Reaction Which I Talked About Pour In)...

This blog entry is going to be carefully broken down and responded to one by one, point by point:

• "To respond to this I do think  a persons followers do shed some reflection on the individual. Either these people weren't really his followers or in some ways he did promote that certain ideas of the Jewish bible were heartless and evil and Jesus's ideas were better. Of course they take from the Jewish bible when they want to.   Not sure where his followers would somehow twist his ideas to this degree and truly be his followers."

I don't think that Adam's ever tried reading Galatians 1:6-12 and Romans 7:4-25, has he? Adam's commenter also has not read the same (See the comment on Adam's blog entry.).

• "You hear that about some Jewish leaders as well that their followers twisted their words and many times that really isn't the case as some Rabbis think they have more compassion then God does and God is evil and harsh until they the Rabbi came along and they also just pick and chose from the bible and not try to understand why in certain situation God was fairly harsh and in some other cases it is not literal and to know this you have to know Hebrew which thankfully I know.  " 

First of all, Adam, slow down and breathe. Secondly, Jesus said right out that He was doing only what the Father (G-d-- that is, G-d the Father) told him to do. And if you know Hebrew, then why do you ignore that "echad" and "Elohim" are plural and refer to a pluralunity?

• As someone Jewish who is been picked on for this I have to say that my view is that Christianity and Jesus certainly brought the ideas of the Jewish bible into circulation which since the Jewish people in their own way distorted their religion that it seemed odd to most people because of the ways they distorted it this was needed for some group to bring these ideas to non-Jews as well although some of these people as well had their imperfections. 

At least Adam is not an Antimissionary like Skylar Curtis (who, as a ger, has hutzpah to be telling Yehudim and goyim alike not to even consider Jesus).

• I do think that it is wrong to worship Jesus as God and I do think it distorts God since God is one and both male and female unlike humans who God separated the full being when God took the rib out of Adam and formed Eve.  And I see that it is easier for women to worship Jesus and the reason is because Jesus was a man and it is natural for a woman to love a man and be their helpmate.  But not some religious figure to take the place of a husband.  This distorts male-female relations in a bad way. 

I already talked about Adam ignoring the Hebrew that he claims to know. Adam v'Chava were echad per Beresheet 2:24, by the way. Also, what does Adam make of this from Hoshea 2?

 ² “Bring charges against your mother, bring charges;
      For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband! 
      Let her put away her harlotries from her sight, 
      And her adulteries from between her breasts; 
       ³ Lest I strip her naked 
      And expose her, as in the day she was born, 
      And make her like a wilderness, 
      And set her like a dry land, 
      And slay her with thirst. 
       ⁴ “ I will not have mercy on her children, 
      For they are the children of harlotry. 
       ⁵ For their mother has played the harlot; 
      She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. 
      For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, 
      Who give me my bread and my water, 
      My wool and my linen, 
      My oil and my drink.’ 
       ⁶ “ Therefore, behold, 
      I will hedge up your way with thorns, 
      And wall her in, 
      So that she cannot find her paths. 
       ⁷ She will chase her lovers, 
      But not overtake them; 
      Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
      Then she will say, 

      ‘ I will go and return to my first husband, 
      For then it was better for me than now.’ 

Is G-d trying to get women to have Him take the place of a husband? Why does Adam ignore metaphors and context?

And this?

Psalm 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous

 ¹ Praise the LORD!
         
         Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, 
         Who delights greatly in His commandments. 
         
 ² His descendants will be mighty on earth;
         The generation of the upright will be blessed.
 ³ Wealth and riches will be in his house,
         And his righteousness endures forever.
 ⁴ Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
         He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
 ⁵ A good man deals graciously and lends;
         He will guide his affairs with discretion.
 ⁶ Surely he will never be shaken;
         The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
 ⁷ He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
         His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
 ⁸ His heart is established;
         He will not be afraid, 
         Until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 
         
 ⁹ He has dispersed abroad,
         He has given to the poor; 
         His righteousness endures forever; 
         His horn will be exalted with honor.
 ¹⁰ The wicked will see it and be grieved;
         He will gnash his teeth and melt away; 
         The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Who has zerah m'ha'aretz? Look at this part of Yesha'yahu 53:

 ¹⁰ Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; 
      He has put Him to grief. 
      When You make His soul an offering for sin, 
      He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, 
      And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. 
       ¹¹ He shall see the labor of His soul,^[b]and be satisfied. 
      By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, 
      For He shall bear their iniquities. 
       ¹² Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, 
      And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, 
      Because He poured out His soul unto death, 
      And He was numbered with the transgressors, 
      And He bore the sin of many, 
      And made intercession for the transgressors.

And since "Vai'yivra Elohim et-ha'adam b'tzalmov, b'tzelem Elohim bara otov", who is to say that G-d could not have become Man, as "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."?

Maybe I'm Crazy For Having This Image, But...

Maybe, just maybe, Christopher Hitchens did have the deathbed conversion that he called a possibility, albeit a slim one: maybe after losing his mom, who left his dad and committed suicide shortly after her leaving, and losing his dad; plus growing up in a poor family then having a divorce when he started his own family, maybe he's being rocked in G-d's arms tonight.

 Maybe he's being rocked in G-d's arms tonight and being told that it's okay, like a dad would rock his child and comfort him or her. After all, Christopher Hitchens was Jewish and had a hard life, so he was biologically a     ben-Elohim-- a son of G-d-- who had a lot of suffering from which he needed to be saved.

In other words, any Jew is a ben- or bat-Elohim, since he or she is created (as all humans are; but unlike other humans, created) and set apart and chosen as part of 'am-Elohim in keeping 'im hab'rit im Avraham, Yitzchak, v'Ya'akov. So, Christopher Hitchens was, by nature (that is, ethnicity; not, as the Mormons would put it, sexuality or G-d-human sexual relations) a biological (but not, as I said, G-d-human-sexual relations-wise) a ben-Elohim, thus part of the chosen 'am-Elohim.

As for the suffering aspect, who does G-d seek out?

Matthew 9:12-14

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹² When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. ¹³ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’^[a] For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”^[b]


G-d has been called the Great Physician, the only one who could ultimately heal or save Christopher Hitchens from throat cancer in either lifetime. Let's just hope that Christopher Hitchens as a ben-Elohim got a bikur chol visit from the Great Physician Himself and yeshuat 'im habikur.
