| How quickly we forget. |
| There never is any justification, right or wrong, to take the lives of
innocent people. There are two sides to every coin and it is sad to
see that in most cases only one side is shown and talked or written
about. I do not have any intimate details about the massacre to take
sides, however, one needs to see what was done to Mormons as well.
That is not a valid reason to react by using an "eye for an eye"
approach. |
| Christians, as they called themselves as members of the Catholic
church or the brake-away Protestants, all using the vile Roman cross as their sign of "true worship", following the dictates formulated on
demand by pagan Roman emperor Constantine in 325 in Nicaea, which resulted in the Nicene creed -a formal statement of Christian beliefs,
subsequently altered and expanded, and still in use in most Christian
churches. |
| Christian history in Europe and the Americas is saturated with the
most horrific deeds committed in the name of Jesus Christ - the
crusades, Maria de Medici's orders to murder thousand of innocent Protestants in France , Popes going on rampages in Europe , Catholic
Priests blessing the deeds of Conquistadors to murder millions of
Aztecs and Mayans and to take their gold to ship it to Spain and Rome .
The list goes on and the cross was the symbol to fortify their deeds.
Forget the slaughter of Jews? That did not start in 1933, it started
way before in the 11th century all over Europe , with a pope to be the
first to create a ghetto near the Tiber river in Rome . |
| It is so easy to see the bad, the Bible has a lot to say about that,
and forget the good. Didn't the Savior teach the crowd that was about
to stone someone to death to look at themselves first and anyone to be
without fault to throw the first stone? Didn't He also say something
about the splinter in one's eye and to look at the beam in one's own? |
| What so-called Christians hate is the truth. They are no more
Christian than pagan Rome, with ideas and creeds concocted by fuming
church fathers fighting for control until Constantine stepped in. But
he was a mother and sons murderer himself - WHAT A GREAT EXAMPLE HE WAS! |
| The best thing to do is to honor the dead, forgive as we are required
by the Savior to do, and let Him sort it all out when He comes again.
Are we not to spread the Word through love? What are we doing by
spreading hate from the pulpit and the internet? Are we not to be held
accountable for our deeds and words? |
| If you want to change the world, start with yourself. |
