I’m not happy about the state of the world.
For as long as I’ve been able to understand the concept, I’ve been a victim of bigotry and sectarianism – par for the course if you live in Northern Ireland. Every time I was stopped at a vehicle checkpoint, even as a minor, I felt threatened by the man holding the automatic rifle at my window as another armed man checked my, or my parents, credentials and enquired where we were coming from or where we were going. I felt violated.
The world has gone to hell. I’m getting tired of online columnists who profess to be Christian, printing articles on their websites that refer to a “large part of the Islamic world” as “medieval savages” and then talking about ethnic cleansing as if that’s a good thing “This is not about revenge, it’s about sanitation.”.
Said online columnist replies to this racist and sectarian ape with “I’m inclined to agree with you. I basically don’t give a hoot about the niceties of international law. The only prudent solution is to … terminate him with extreme prejudice”.
This is a devout Christian! What the hell is going on! What happened to turn the other cheek? What about forgiveness?
I mean, for f*’s sake, what would Jesus say?
Two dogs fighting in the street have to be pulled apart by their owners because the dogs, being dogs, don’t know any better. They act this way because they are dogs. And dogs are animals.
Due to this guy, my opinion of humanity just fell thru the floor. My opinion of dogs, on the other hand, just improved.
