Some Things I Wanna Know...

When did God become a Republican?
When did the USA become the Kingdom of God?
When did a person's opinion of Bill Riley become the standard by which a person's love for God is measured?
When did God start hating Arabs?
When did they become "the devil?"
When did it become a just thing, to consider nuking Iraq and enslaving the Arab world.
When did Jesus's followers become so starved for blood?
How gallantly we "wave the banners of God while weilding the weapons of hell."
And WHY?
Why do we NEED to WIN?
Why are we so obsessed with exterior "purity?"
What do we hope to gain by obliterating our "enemies?"
Isn't the real enemy within? ...our own hatreds? ...our own fears? ...our own failures and insecurities?
We can kill off the entire population of the planet and still never come close to the truth of our pathetic selves...
We hold the key to peace in the palm of our hand...
...if we want it...

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God...
