As a preface to this column, this writer has been an adherent of the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. as a consequence, I consider wholeheartedly within the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and that he turned into definitely ' Anointed with the Christ spirit'.
This Sunday morning I determined to power to the seaside and take a walk along the shore. the use of our very old Camry ( 2003) it only had AM/FM radio. As I strolled thru the dial each other station I got here to had non secular suggests, with the identify of Jesus repeated continuously. The preachers, even with what church they represented, talked of ' Serving God' and ' Accepting Jesus as savior'. I might agree with that a hundred%. Disappointedly, not one of the preachers touched upon subject matters like injustice or prejudice, or economic unfairness. No Sir! it's taboo when it comes to what I confer with as ' Evangelical Radio and television'. If ' God is Love' because the shrewd ones always claim, then it goes to purpose that Mega Millionaires who maintains most of their fortune can't apply Love for their fellow man. on the grounds that ' God is Love' then they don't seem to be with their God… or any God!
My late chum and Peace Activist Ed Dunphy once became in North Carolina on company again in 2004. Ed become a marathon runner and notion that the campus at North Carolina State changed into a nice region to figure out. As he turned into operating he passed via a bible type that was outdoors on this beautiful afternoon. After he comprehensive his run, Ed walked over to the neighborhood. " I heard you all discussing abortion, and i consider you about abortion. i am not in prefer of it additionally. Yet, i wonder in case you all are adversarial to what our executive has performed to the people of Iraq with our carpet bombing crusade of ' Shock and Awe' ?" They looked at him as if he was an ET that simply landed. " What I imply is are you as angry about aborting fetuses as be sure you be against our govt's bombing and destroying pregnant ladies carrying fetuses with what is excused as ' Collateral damage'? The instructor asked Ed to thrill leave or he would name securi ty.
think about all these Sunday morning Bible Thumping preachers and their flocks who gave full assist to men like Bush Jr. and now Trump? Of direction, in view that most of them do vote Republican, no deserve to deliver up Obama, a further struggle crook, who I suppose most ' Born once again ' Democrats supported. Getting lower back to the different two warfare criminals, one wonders how a person can quote scripture and trust in Jesus as the Son of God, and then cheer for those two despicable guys? It seems so long as somebody comes down tough on abortion and the LBGT neighborhood, it concerns not what we do to those dark peoples in the center East. will we now make the connection of controlling the desolate tract poor to the negative black and browns in our inner metropolis ghettoes? The hypocrisy is striking! imagine the latest information of John Bolton, notorious battle mongerer on account that the Vietnam era ( where, he said he supported that ' battle' but did not like how it become being handled, so he chose now not to go) coming out challenging in opposition t Trump. think about! extra meals for concept about this militia Industrial Empire and its various factions, who all SUCK, but nonetheless have variations as to premier manage the rabble.
When the day comes, and it'll, and the very individuals who blindly aid this empire and its minions recognize that they are next in line to be on that meals bank and welfare line. Jesus was suitable: nobody can serve TWO masters!
