Gladius Poeticus

   This is exactly how my father thought, but on a wider scale. He thought a lot of religion was devised to keep men survile 😀 … In some cases I guess my friend.

   it seems whenever man gets together and organizies…they begin to abuse, after a short time. i was just thinking yesterday how human beings are not able to see a patch of land without attempting to control, fix, chop, and in general destroy. it happens on a large scale and on a small scale. but i live in a place where millions of people were murdered just a few short decades ago. i don´t look at the chidren here and think they need to repent for what their parents did. that would fill my heart with judgment and dislike…and misery. forgiveness is the only way out of all these quandries. and sometimes you forgive those who can´t see they have done something wrong, just to free your own soul. love you!

      We’re talking Christian Church here as an institution that needs to set history straight as far as its own actions are concerned. Thanks, Lorna!. 🙂

   i agree with you, the christian church is responsible. full stop. i think many have made themselves accountable within their own organizations. but the church is a big big machine. scary too. scary for me how little the words of Jesus can mean to those who call themselves by His name. where i used to live in the states there was a company that sold chicken. he donated all kinds of money to churches and said he was a christian. that is not for me to judge. only i knew the sweetest african-american woman who had been working in his factory for 25 years who was making one dollar over minimum wage. 25 years, think of it. i can´t see the big picture for all the people who are still suffering…know what i mean?

      Yes, I get your point. Individually we may not be held accountable, but we embody the church as a whole. Thanks for commenting so extensively. 🙂

   Ouch. You put your finger on so many tender spots – there has been so much evil done in the name of God, when He would tell us all that He made all, and formed all as equals. There is much to be accountable for, on many levels, at many doors…
