I don’t know comedienne Kathy Griffin. I don’t think I have ever seen her act, but somehow I can connect her face to her name. Maybe I have seen her on another show.
But evidently when receiving a Creative Arts Emmy award, she chose the opportunity to not only express her lack of belief that Jesus Christ helped her at all, but to basically insult Him and offend those who believe in Him, and then she proclaimed her little man-made statuette her god.
If it was just a matter of her not believing in God, I would consider that sad, but that is her choice. But why in the world choose that moment to speak so negatively about Him? What ever happened to toleration and live and let live? Imagine what the world reaction would have been if she had said what she did about Allah? Why is Jesus the only One whom it is permissible to treat with disrespect?
FOXNews correspondent Lauren Green wrote an excellent response here (HT to blestwithsons). You can read Ms. Griffin’s remarks in full there. Ms. Green proposes that Kathy Griffin is wrong in her belief that Christ did not help her with her achievements, and she outlines her reasons there.
While I agree with Ms. Green, there is yet another reason Ms. Griffin is wrong. The apostle Paul told the men of Athens on Mars Hill in Acts 17:28a, “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being.” He is the reason we have life and even our very breath: without Him we could do nothing. He gives us life and talent and gifts and then gives us the choice whether to acknowledge Him or not.
I do pray Ms. Griffin has a change of heart.
Stray Thoughts 
Amen! Barbara. I read blestwithsons too, and was very insulted by Griffin’s offensive remarks. I think your additional reason is quite well stated. No one has anything at all that God has not allowed. May God indeed have mercy on Ms. Griffin’s soul.
It makes me sad for Griffin that she is so far from the Lord that she would insult Him that way.
