What Christ would say about American society

So here's how Christ would feel about certain aspects of today's American society:

Money

Would Christ be rich like Republicans? Christ would have never been rich for one simple reason; he would have given away any money he had to those that really needed it. Hey "Christians", how many of you are rich? How many of you have more than our chocolate brothers in the ghettos? If you have more than people in your nearest "bad" part of town, you aren't practicing Christs love. In communities that practice Christs' true love, there are no ghettos. And rest assured, those forced to live in the ghetto know God and Christ far better than those that confine them there, as they have endured oppression faithfully, never marching on societies rich kingdoms and killing their inhabitants though their actions are clearly sin full.

What would Christ say about "in god we trust" on the dollar bill?

He'd be disgusted. God has nothing to do with money. People kill each other, distrust and generally don't like each other over money. What is the number one thing that kills a marriage? Its money. Anything that opens one to greed, hatred, and suspicion is not a thing of God. Christ would say that people that feel he would have been fine with "in god we trust"on money, don't understand Christs' true love. Sin is really defined as: purposeful behavior that defies the true love of Christ.

So lets talk about "sins".

Here's what Christ feels about what "Christians" are calling sins:

People living together before being married;

People that love God and have to find survival living together, trying to survive a society of "Christians" that make it so they have to live together to stay alive, is not sinning, its the opposite of sin. It is a reflection of God. Anyone that criticizes these children of God is partaking in sin. Why haven't today's "Christians" created a society where one income can provide a place to live for a man? I seem to remember that in the 50's in America a man could find a job that would pay him enough for shelter not only for himself but a family as well! The fact that greed has allowed society to take this from its own men is one of the biggest sins "Christians" can perpetrate. Somehow today's "Christians" feel they can ship the lively hood of good God loving men, trying to have families of their own, to other nations and that's not a sin. This is a misunderstanding of Christs true love.


What could possibly turn into sin for these children of God is if one becomes pregnant and both parents refuse to shelter the new life from the harms of life, for this is truly sin; knowingly and willingly neglecting the needs of life one has created is a gross sin. A society that forces men to not be able to provide for their young is also a sinning society. So when one ignores the sin that creates a situation where others have to sin, this is also one of the greatest sins of all, literally. Let us all partake in the blame of sin, that way well be more compelled to create a society where Gods children don't have to sin.

The term sin has come to be defined as whatever "Christians" disapprove of. So like the White house that has recently been hijacked by the Bush family and Republican cronies, I'm taking it back. I'm taking the true definition of the term sin back to how Christ defined it.

Sinning is really defined as: purposeful behavior that defies the true love of Christ.

Sex before marriage:

The implication here is that 2 people will not come together for the protection of the child if there is no commitment on their behalves to do so (marriage). This lack of protection for the new life is sin full. This is regardless of the marital status of the couple. In other words, a couple could be together, unmarried, only want to be with each other, love each other and the child and not be sinners or sinning in any fashion. Sin is the purposeful rejection of Christ pure love.

When no child is involved;

If the partners have no love for each other and have sex before marriage, they may willingly or not give each other disease. If they don't stay together sparing others this infection, they are sinning. Whether lack of love for their own safe well being, lack of love for each others safe well-being or not caring about the safe well-being of others who may get infected later is the sin, the lack of Christ pure love.

Guns:

Christ would never have approved of any man made apparatus that takes life away. He would say that in life we all will tend to disagree and sometimes passionately, however we must keep our disagreements to an intellectual level, make all arguments with true love in mind and lovingly respect the ideas of those you will disagree with. If those that you disagree with turn to violence against you, use the gifts god has given you to protect yourself, your mind, your body, and your love, but never seek to destroy them. For they are life like you and simply need help, not punishment.

The Chinese created gun powder and to this day do not rely on guns for protection. They created the yo-yo, which we laugh at here in America as a viable weapon of protection, however the Chinese understood early that weapons used to forcefully remove ones life was not the true loving way. Yes, the yo-yo is a more Christ like weapon if there ever was one, than the gun.

So Americans would logically ask how would Christ feel about the 2nd amendment?

This is a very complex matter as it mixes the fore fathers intent for citizens to arm themselves against tyrannical governments with a society that ever increasingly feels that Christs truly loving way would not allow for a dependence on guns. This is a bit of a dilemma and requires some real deep consideration using Christs love as the base for all thought.

On the one hand, lets say in the recent election John McCain would have won. Lets say that people rioted in the streets in protest and he sent in the Militia / Army to quell the situation. Would I agree with guns being used to protect good citizens from this corrupt fascist regime? Christ of course would not want the fighting to exist, but would he suggest to the people to allow themselves to be destroyed by the Militia? Would he know that their hearts are but the few last pure hearts left and suggest for them to use their god given faculties to protect themselves?

Besides, I imagine a scene where ordinary citizens are having to arm themselves against U.S. military. Even if you were armed, would you want to step to the U.S. army even if it was to protect your family? I cant imagine anyone that would want to do that. I suppose the founders wanted a way that the people could be free of tyranny by any means necessary, but in todays age, might there be better, less violent ways to protect ourselves?

How do we protect ourselves in truly Christian ways?

Obviously the Military will need a way to shoot down missiles from other countries, so they would be permitted to have large enough guns that they could not take life with, but rather shoot down missiles from other countries. The Military might be to weak if it didn't have proper guns when other nations do attack on foot. These guns however could be used against its own people, according to the founding fathers.

The founding fathers imagined a possibility of a government being so out of control and tyrannical that they delivered to us the 2nd amendment, allowing for citizens to protect themselves from their own government. Wow. When I imagine this situation I firstly imagine that there must be more diplomatic and / or legal ways to keep the U.S. forces from attacking their own people. Is this all were really left with in today's society? A society that calls itself foremost "Christian" to all other nations, and clings to its 2nd amendment right to stockpile weapons in ones house just in case a corrupt government kicks open your door and wants to kill you and yours?

I digress here for a moment;

(As a side note away from the current issue)

So what are we selling to the rest of the world? We expect the rest of the world to accept American democracy and free market capitalism; which allows for homeless men to be forgotten about and stepped over on the street, and a society clinging to its guns in fear of what its own government will to do it? Wow, isn't that what you would expect happens in a place like China that we've all been lead to believe has some of the worst human rights abuses in the world?

As a piggy back to this idea, Ive always seen the white pride movement claim that they are the superior race to all others. "Really?", Ive always asked inquisitively. So Ive looked. What is it that makes the white pride people so proud of their culture that they so bravely burn crosses on others lawns? In my mind, when I think of a culture worth fighting in the streets for, or killing innocent people for, that culture must (when left to its own devices) provide health care and schools to all its people. Full employment to all its own people with attention to them first and not other countries that will simply "do it for cheaper". Healthy foods abound to take care of the populace, free and open places of worship. Healthy and happy, caring and loving societies. Well it appears that after you annihilated the native population you were left to your own devices. This was a time before slaves reached the American shores. What does that society represent? All the wonderful things mentioned above? Well, you've created a society which allows for homeless men to be forgotten about and stepped over on the street, and a society clinging to its guns in fear of what its own government will to do it? Besides, if your true racists, then when left to your own devices, you will start to pull your own members out of the pack to accuse them of racial impropriety, ultimately turning on itself. We saw this happen during the Salem Witch trials. So don't kid yourselves white pride-sters, if all of the "mongrels" were wiped out, you'd have the same miserable, crappy, hate-filled lives you've always had, just with out the rest of us to blame for it. So before you look like an idiot and start violence against innocents, because deep down you know your racist lifestyle is weak, take and use that energy to create the society you claim is worth fighting for. I'm sure the elders of your group will agree.

So basically its unchristian to not think with love and its un-American to remove the ability to choose and to remove options when one can choose. Christians frequently seek to remove options in the name of religion, and this is against Christ pure love.

Christianity in America has been hijacked by hate-filled rich people. If they can get us all to feel guilty enough about not being as religious as they are, then they think they control us. We all know they yell so loudly about our morals because behind the scenes they can not follow what they preach. And the truth is we are morally superior, as evidenced in the fact that we don't yell as loudly at others about their morals. As morally superior people, we don't have to accuse anyone or ever say "I don't agree" with someones lifestyle. Id absolutely love to hear all about the grapefruits love of God if they could just say they love someone not like them.
