Preaching War

A small tale of War.

War is a worthless exercise. 

There's a little boy in Afghanistan that will join the Taliban and become brainwashed because of this war we are waging against ideals.

Tell the Christians we are killing the Muslims to make it ok.

Tell the rich man we are killing for oil to make it ok.

Tell the young boy we are defending North America so he can live while they die. To make it ok.

They tell me to stop preaching. But every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and man gets up on a podium, and he stands there bellowing down to ignorant ears that they need to "FIGHT! Fight God's war!" And that Israel must win, that Jihad is the only way, and that Jesus needs to be glorified at the cost of the blood of others.

So if they stand and preach every week, who is preaching for the middle? Who is preaching for genuine peace? Real love? The kind of life that goes beyond the bullshite of religion and politics.

You can tune out the preaching if you want. But you need to remember that everything they do affects us too. We need peace and love. That is the only way to make a greener earth and a peaceful earth and a loving planet.

If we don't say it, who will?
