You can make the difference now

The framers of the U.S. Constitution feared “We the People” might someday be overtaken by “We the U.S. Government.” If you don’t think Government tyranny exists right now, you have been watching censored media. Whether you love Trump or hate him, he is experiencing election interference by Biden and the U.S. Government. Pro-lifers (who volunteered to turn themselves in and were denied) were traumatized by being arrested with many guns being pointed at them days later. Parents are assigned “Domestic Terrorists” labels for rightly calling out school board officials. Catholics are being targeted simply for being followers of Jesus.

If you are actively working to right these wrongs, I applaud you and please write me. If you are not, there is a book that you might want to read:

Letter to the American Church, by Eric Metaxas, Salem Books, ISBN: 978-1-68451-389-5.

With the rise of Hitler, Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s headed down a path of disaster. The German church could have stopped it, but they believed lies about themselves – the church – and what the church should and should not do to intervene. The United States is paralleling Germany’s disaster, and the American Church can stop it, if they don’t believe the same lies that the German church did. Eric Metaxas writes a concise diagnosis and prescription for the American churches’ dysfunction in Letter to the American Church.

I am going to lovingly, peacefully, and legally take political action.

How about you?

What would you want Jesus to do?

Jesus got to shore and was met by a man who had been acting “crazy” most of his life.

The man lived naked among the graves and no one could control him. The man pulled to pieces any chains he was in and he often cried out; cutting himself with stones.

Jesus had compassion on the man. But he couldn’t help him.

You see, this man was of another religion and it was against the law to convert him to following Jesus, which Jesus knew would happen if Jesus healed him.

Also, the media had been misreporting that when Jesus said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God” that Jesus was really rebelling against the government and advocating that people not pay lawful taxes.

What would they report if he removed evil spirits from a man not considered competent to give informed consent?

And what about the people who said mental illness was a myth? What if they said Jesus should value the man’s differences, not judge his lifestyle, and coexist with him?

And what about the mental health community? They don’t believe in demons. They would be offended if Jesus cast out demons into pigs, and the pigs immediately committed suicide, proving that demons do exist. They might lobby to have Jesus’ license to practice counseling revoked.

And what about the owners of the pigs? Did Jesus ask permission to send demons into them? Was Jesus going to pay restitution?

What if you were the man or woman standing there in front of Jesus, with your future and your sanity hanging in the balance. What would you want Jesus to do?

Just in case you didn’t understand, the above is satire. For what really happened see Mark 5 in the Bible.

The above was my response to the politics of 2016. The below is what might be actually happening now and may be worse and should be satire.

And so I have questions.

In the UK is politically incorrect thought/prayer near abortion clinics now a crime?

Was the U.S. president’s speech full of distortions about U.S. “MAGA” voters? Were “MAGA” voters vilified by the U.S. president for the crime of having a different point of view?

Could emails that were found and released by Elon Musk be interpreted as First Amendment Freedom of Speech censorship prompted by the government?

Was a U.S. government agency weaponized to intimidate those who are against the legalized killing of babies in the womb?

Are pharmacy companies talking about creating disease so they can make money healing the people they infect?

Why would someone get “fired” right after standing up to big pharma? Would that cast suspicion on the Board that “fired” you?

Bad is portrayed as good.

Good is censored.

Dear Jesus,

we need

You.

PC or Not-PC isn’t the right question.

PC or political correctness promises treating all others with respect and dignity by all who use it. It believes it was born in the 60’s civil rights era and that it champions freedom from oppression for all. It has a form of godliness, but denies godliness’s real power, which is love and acceptance (but not necessarily approval), .

Something has happened to PC. It doesn’t respectfully disagree any more. It sees no value in that. Because it has held power the last eight years it feels that it has license to silence critics. Now it bullies, it berates, it is rude, it’s my way or the highway. It calls names instead of trying to understand others…

Wait a minute, that sounds exactly like PC’s opposition called Not-PC. Not-PC has been out of power for 8 years and so nothing is their fault. They are on the side of the Constitution so they can silence critics. They are bullies, they berate, they are rude, they are my way or the highway. They call names instead of trying to understand others… It was born in the Reagan era and proposes freedom as well, that is, freedom to do it their way. It has a form of godliness, but denies godliness’s real power, which is love and acceptance (but not necessarily approval).

Between PC and Not-PC there is a tiny space (reminiscent of Victor Frankl’s). It is called respect for others while you respect yourself. It doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. Those need to be forged through listening and sharing in crucial conversations, co-operation and synergy with each other. What it does have is hope. Hope that we as a community, as a country, can be wise enough and strong enough to realize there is no future without each other.

P.S. Since writing this I have reconsidered the size of that “tiny space (reminiscent of Victor Frankl’s).” I was reacting to the Facebook war that flooded me (by invitation) during the campaigning. I believe there are many who desire reconciliation and constructive dialogue with their brothers and sisters who hold different views.
