Guns and God

“Guns lack efficacy and are nothing more than idols set up to the bloodthirsty gods of the past. And because we believe Jesus is in control of his world, Christians can be the first—individually and collectively—to destroy all weapons designed to kill other human beings. Such weapons have no place in God’s future (There will be no AK-47 in the New Creation), and as such they have no value in the lives of Christians now." Race, Guns and the Church (by Jeff Cook) ☀

The Confederate flag

“Unlike the Germans after World War II who collectively shouldered blame for the Holocaust and the war’s devastation, America’s white Southerners never confessed to the evil that they had committed by enslaving African-Americans and then pushing the United States into a bloody Civil War in their defense of human bondage. Instead of a frank admission of guilt, there have been endless excuses and obfuscations. Confederate apologists insist that slavery wasn’t really all that bad for blacks, that the North’s hands weren’t clean either, that the Civil War was really just about differing interpretations of the Constitution, that white Southerners were the real victims here – from Sherman’s March to the Sea to Reconstruction. Some white Southerners still prefer to call the conflict “the war of Northern aggression.” Confronting Southern ‘Victimhood’ ☀

White Supremacy

“For far too long, white supremacy has dominated the politics of America resulting in the creation of racist laws and cultural practices designed to subjugate non-whites. And the emblem of the confederacy, the stars and bars, in all its manifestations, has long been the most recognizable banner of this political ideology. It’s the banner of racial intimidation and fear whose popularity experiences an uptick whenever black Americans appear to be making gains economically and politically in this country." Bree Newsome ☀

God Given Rights, Race Wars and Dylan Roof's Bigotry

“The belief in God-given possession flows like a vampire virus through the veins of this country. We eagerly draw lifeblood from as much of the world as possible, in land, natural resources, and cheap labor. What does it mean to be born in a place that measures your value, your worth, your very life by the calculus of possession? That calculus extends through time to us from those founding greed-filled moments invading our waking consciousness and driving us forward in a strange confession. We believe in competition born of the desire to possess. We believe in striving against others for the sake of survival and growth. We believe that excellence emerges from struggle, from the isometric pressure of opposing forces pushing against each other with all their strength until weakness of mind, body, idea, institution, and company are rubbed away through the heat generated by life forces exposed in conflict." Dylann Roof Was Wrong: The Race War Isn’t Coming, It’s Here ☀

Social Justice, Catholic Activism and our Supreme Court

Remember that there is nothing socialist in nature about free healthcare (Jesus was socialist in nature) and Hitler and Stalin persecuted gay people, executing ones in unofficial gay marriages, radical Islamic extremists do the same.


 Our Supreme Court is an extension of our Constitution and the rulings represent social experimentation turning into social progress and social justice (I say this as a Historian).
 Remember: President Obama did volunteer work for the RCC in Chicago for 12 Parishes during the 80's, his roots are Catholic activist in nature and represent social justice like Pope Francis.

Charleston Shooter a Confederate Sympathizer

“The Charleston shooter simply put into practice what many white Americans – in McKinney and elsewhere – already believe. He’s a confederate sympathizer in a state that still flies the Confederate flag. How is this surprising at all?" Via azspot.net
