'turn the other cheek' is a moral responsibility

Not only is there never justification for war- there is not justification for any military.

If you are wanting paradise to come about deduce honour--- it means death before pride.

All pride is sin - there are no countries.

Imagine a world of no buying and no selling because that's where we are going.

Divinity is dedication to truth.

Do right.

Let love inspire.

Turn away from pride and all things that extoll it--- actually, ya, that does mean money.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid of homelessness.

Know that conscientiousness is the supreme law- that if you can do something responsibly you have the right to do it.

Pride is not a right- you do not have the right to be proud.

'Innocent until proven guilty' is not just for individuals- it is for everything- the whole of society--- this means that, actually, it is a violation of right for a cop to have a gun--- that it is a violation of right for a cop to wear a bullet-proof vest----- that your right is violated if the best is no assumed of you and your world.

Dedicate yourself to truth and look at the world around you-- it's yours and there is a path to maximum happiness- think.

all love,

me

Seems esoteric, but Ok...

by apache Thursday, Aug. 08, 2002 at 3:29 PM

These words would seem a little esoteric to those unfamiliar with
the Judeo-Christian tradition and maybe need more articulation, but
I kind of get what you going for. Some on the left would get snotty
and tell you to "shove it with your christian spirituality," but that is
because they are too self-consumed with their own pride (like you
said) to remember the value of altruism outside of the problems
of christianity.
Those on the right are just a lost cause. The Christian Right in the
U.S. (who probably never visit this site, oh well) are the ones that
really need to heed these words because they claim piety but then
sanction the murder of doctors, civilians in foreign countries and anybody
who doesn't concede to their white supremacist vision of Christ.
They don't "turn the other cheek" and still have the gall to think
that they're going to be "chosen" and "raptured" by Jesus into
heaven (and they got mainstream rags like TIME promoting their
views). Boy, are they going to be in for a shock. So sad...
