I have heard so much condemnation in the name of God lately that I truly pray those rendering such hate never suffer such judgement themselves. Pride, judgement, divine usurption, even murder are horrible paths for anyone taking a stand to posses. When you do so that hill you stand upon looking down from is not rock or soil but bone. flesh, and blood.
The Human soul, free will, and precious life is no ones domain other than creator and created. I know sometimes we get caught up in passion and views but we have to remember righteous indignation is reserved to the victim not the perpetrator.
In my efforts here I share a lot about love. Sometimes it takes those with the greatest obstacles in life to see the world clearly. So I will yield any further comments to one who overcame great obstacles and forever blazed a path for others.
"It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui."
Like you I am very confused as to why so many people of "god" are so willing to see the devil in everything and anyone the least bit different. Where do they see god? Or can't they see him any longer, and thats what is causing this lashing out towards so many human beings?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they have lost sight of their god, and blame others for his/her abscence. They are flogging others for their lack. Or could it be their dark desires?
