What world is this?
What world is this? When did the angels abdicate in favor of demons and darkness? Supposedly responsible, intelligent adults advocating treating people as cattle and cattle as people is a doctrine of destruction. Violence and injustice permeate every level of society, saturates government, education, entertainment and even family. The festering clot of broken and abused lives threatens to break out in a suppurating wound that could drown all of humanity in pus and blood. Individually, our ego-centric myopia and insensible, unquenchable demand for more leaves men trampled in storefronts, children beaten in school, infants murdered in hospitals. Those charged with the protection of society are become torturers, those charged with safeguarding turned thieves. We are cowed and cowardly, scraping before those called public servants. There is no judgment strong enough to bring justice to this situation; no disaster could assuage outraged righteousness. I hear Abel and Zachariah and Stephen and six million Jews and fifty million unborn children, their blood cries day and night for vengeance. That God is merciful is painful beyond endurance. I cry with Jonah, I am angry enough to die.
