Day 1,442 of the Adventure
Last week I was struggling to process the murder of a young woman on a train by a man having been arrested 14 times and released each time. She had her throat slashed by him and died in fear and terror while onlookers did nothing. Before I had a chance to wrap my mind around that atrocity, I watched on live video as an assassin took the life of Charlie Kirk in front of his family and thousands of people gathered to engage him in a civil discourse. Within moments of the murder, celebrations were occurring over his death. While for the most part, condemnation was the theme, even much of that rang hollow as those who issued condemnations, were just days earlier calling him evil, nazi, fascist, homophobic, xenophobic, racist and worse. I've been following Charlie for years and can say with conviction that none of that was true. The only ones who could possibly believe that any of the hate was true, likely never listened to him any further than soundbites taken out of context.
I sit here today still trying to find any kind of balance or rationale on how we have arrived at such a dark period in our civilized history. I understand that the Bible teaches us in Ephesians 6:12, that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" which means that the true struggle for believers is not against other people but against spiritual forces of evil, such as demons and their organized influence over the world's systems. This verse encourages Christians to recognize their spiritual enemy and to use spiritual weapons and the full "armor of God," rather than engaging in physical conflict or personal grudges against others. I'm sure that there are better men than me who are coping with this dark reality far better than I am. For now, I must simply state that we all need to take a look at who we are, what we believe and what we condone and support through our complicity with those with whom we align ourselves. I do my best to try to support and defend the Bible, the Constitution, respect for humanity in general and the rule of law for our country. If you find yourself aligned with those who promote all of the mayhem, even if you yourself personally do not agree with it, perhaps especially if you're not in agreement with it. It's time to reflect upon the stand you have taken. If, by your alignment with your party, you have become complicit with their actions, their rhetoric, their hostility towards others, it's important for you to consider the following. Your party is no longer the party of your grandfathers and your fathers. It's a party willing to die on the worst hill of human denigration and take as many down with them as they feel is justified to in order to maintain their political power.
I am not your enemy, but I am no longer willing to remain silent as if there are no consequences to world you are attempting to create and support by aligning yourself with these people.
That's all I have to say about that!
