@Inannawhimsey, where the heck are you?

Jae - regarding the killing of babies, do you have any thoughts about the U.S. mass murder of babies in its wars in Guatemala, Korea, Syria, iraq, AFghanistan, Libya....We're into the millions now. Any criticisms to offer there?
Or is it bad only when it's done in a hospital?

 

[Graeme Decarie]

Kimmio, don't waste time looking for plots. Wikkileaks has nothing on Trump because Trump was nowhere close to power when those leaks were collected. As for Trump have an unfair financial advantage - nonsense. Clinton had the biggest campaign fund in world history.

 

[Neo]

What I am seeking has nothing to do with politics. As one inspired and animated by the spirit revealed in Jesus of Nazareth I am looking for the end of politics and religion. Neither is present prior to the fall and neither will be found in the age to come.

A primary emphasis in the biblical narratives radically questions the collusion of religious and political persons by which creature and creation are exploited and oppressed in the name of profit and power. Something rarely noticed or communicated by Christianity wholly compromised through its conformity to the way of the world.

There will always be politics and some form of religion GeeFee. What's missing in theses things is true spirit. Even politics can be spiritual, if it involves sharing and justice, for only theses two things can bring peace to a country.

 

[Graeme Decarie]

And that's precisely what is not done by capitalism. And that's why it should operate, if at all, under strict controls. But we are moving, very rapidly, in the other direction.

 

[Neo]

Not for long Graeme Decarie.

Here's my thought about the murder of babies - it's always wrong.

I think true spirit is alive and active. At the heart of every march/ protest/ sit in/civil disobedience is the spiritual energy of hope. Look at the Dakota's, protecting sacred ground; the 1% protests, Black Lives Matter; the list goes on ~ all examples of the spirit at work.

Just came home from Bible Study at my former church. Mom and Yobo were sitting here watching CBCNewsworld. On screen - a couple of hundred of nutbars are protesting near Trump tower in New York City. Seems they can't be as gracious as Secretary Clinton. They're cheezed-off that their candidate didn't win. Oh poopoo.

 

[crazyheart]

They are now saying 5000.

 

[Graeme Decarie]

Jae - is the murder of children wrong? Is the massacre of civilians wrong? Is it wrong for clergy to bless soldiers as they go odd to kill? Is it wrong to kill unborn babies and their mothers by forcing them to use home-made methods of aborting? (That was quite common before legal abortion.)
Do you have a real solution to this problem? Or just a general, finger-pointing condemnation of women who are confronted with it? have you ever adopted a baby to save it from abortion? or do you stop at finger-pointing?
Have you ever been single, poor, and pregnant?
Can you spell self-righteous?

Pointing this out to Jae can be considered self rightous too.....better to speak about how you're going about fixing things.

 

[Graeme Decarie]

Before one can fix things, one needs to get people looking at what is wrong. Trump fought a winning campaign to fix things. But he never established what was wrong. And so he's not going to fix anything.
I have some idea of what's wrong. But you're in no way ready to listen to it.

I've been listening, and listening, and listening.....now what?

The real problem is spiritual people (emotional and opinionated) are destructive ... they are devoid of information of the surroundings ... and thus naïve ... as in the answer given by authorities when questioned by the judge: "your honour ... I don't, didn't, will not know!" A human flaw? So that crack in the ass that says to poo ... oh bother! Neighbours, friends and relatives are such a trial ... negating the golden rule!

It is a learning point for those of us considered not part of authority's reality ... borderline characters in the medium?

Thinking mediums can be such a curse ... chit out of luck ... or song of SOL ...????

 

[Luce NDs]

Could affiliate to that verse about having a wee whine ... but keep it quiet ... silence is good around authority ... so chi wrote ...

One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things just doesn't belong...

I have seen no sign that anybody at this site listens. The central message of this election is that the most powerful country in the world just had an election in which the choice was between the undesirable and the incompetent, an election affected by public anger - but the public don't quite know what they're angry at. They have no definition of what has to be done, and no access to information.
As well the most powerful country in the world has, for many, many years also been the most murderous country in the world. Nobody seemed to think that was an issue. The wealthy of that country don't pay taxes - and they are also scooping up a rapidly increasing share of the wealth even as other Americans are getting poor - and they they are reducing much of the rest of the world to the most abject poverty.
We are looking at an openly declared ambition to conquer the whole world. Nobody seems to have thought this worth mentioning in the election.
This is, perhaps, the leading Christian country in the world. But I see not a trace of Christianity in its policies. In two thousand years of Christianity, this is the best we can point to?
The wealthy of the U.S. have sent off thousands of Americans and other suckers to die in wars that are solely about making themselves richer And that has killed millions and created tens of millions of refugees.

Waterfall, I'm sure you think you're listening. But I don't see much sign of it.
And JAE lives in his own world.
