Re: Charlottesville, Trump, GOPe and Pentecostals
All,
Everyone is focusing on the violence, which is just what the media and politicians want you to do.
However, we are ignoring the real "elephant" in the room.
After listening to many on both sides, a passage came to my mind yesterday:
15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
This perfectly describes those who are now crying to remove anything that disagrees with their personal beliefs.
They will never be satisfied.
We are already seeing a pastor in Chicago wanting a monument to George Washington removed and streets renamed.
It will never end.
Until eventually the Bible will be officially declared a hateful book, because it "endorsed" slavery.
You can find something odious about every person in American history.
There is none good, no not one.
According to our current definition of "racist", Abe Lincoln was one.
MLK was an adulterer.
As was JFK.
Do their monuments need to come down?
The White House was built by both slaves and non-slaves, does it need to come down.
This is where we are headed unless the nonsense stops.
And I do not see it stopping.
