Anger is not the test of truth, nor a good motivator. Fear of any kind is an impure motive and ought to be recognized for what it is, a psychological tool used by unscrupulous people to incite others through the use of obligation, guilt, and manipulation. Watch out for all religious leaders who use these unholy tactics to obtain what they want. They have other agendas.
The saying such as, “By their stripes you shall know them,” and “You will know them by their fruit,” and “Pay attention when someone gets mad, that’s when their true colors show,” have grains of truth in them. No matter if such a person is in your life, in your relationship, or in the religion you choose, or in the politics that govern your wellbeing, recognize this sabotaging trait and deal with it immediately.
Do not continue to vote someone into office out of fear: fear someone will take your job, fear there is no more room in the vast expanse of the USA, fear of others who do not look like you in color, nationality, gender, age, nor religion. These are all manipulation tricks of cruel leaders who use religion for self-gain.
Silence is agreement.
The “Religious” Right, the once valid conservative political branch of the Republican Party to which I once belonged, has been infiltrated by dark energy of those whose agendas are not noble nor holy. Without the reckoning of all the hate groups and their actions that have usurped the once-valid political party, voters who are willfully blind to corruption from within, or who justify it due to what they term “the greater good,” will see the “communication skills” of the “Religious” Right be alright with, and resort to murdering more people in schools, churches, movie theaters, malls, and anywhere under the banner of “God,” and invasive political agendas.
No, both major political parties in the USA are not the same. Lies are not the same thing as truth. Lies and truth are not just a difference of opinion. One is right and one is wrong. Truth is not the same thing as lies. It is not all a matter of “misunderstanding,” or “spin.”
The United States of America is UNITED. We are not the separate states existing side by side.
The USA operates under the premise that there is a separation of church and state, for very good reasons. No one of us can tell another person what to believe by their faith, whether it is to be atheist, agnostic, Christian, Muslim, nor any other religion. Yet that is exactly what the “Religious” Right is trying to do.
Personally, as an interfaith Universal Life Church minister, I believe in “God,” the “Higher Power,” Holy Spirit, and Jesus, who actually came to Earth to tell us that the Kingdom, the Light of God, is WITHIN US. However, I have no right, religious or otherwise, to stoke fear into people who do not believe as I believe. Politicians, religious or otherwise, also have no right catering to any religion for political gain.
Humankind’s selfishness is the prisonhouse of poverty. There is more than enough of everything to go around. Many politicians hide under the veil of religion, fear, obligation, guilt (FOG), and manipulation, saying one thing and doing another, while simultaneously stoking the renegade “religious” right into believing their lies as truth. By now, everyone has heard these lies.
The truth of sinister plots to overthrow the government under the guise of “religion” are rising to the surface. Check out matters for yourself. Watch the testimony of the political trials taking place for yourself. The offenders who tried to usurp our Democracy are currently telling on themselves because now they are under oath and can go to jail if they lie.
At least now, truth can be told. No one can say anymore that they do not know where the truth lies. It is painfully obvious.
Do not cater to threats, violence, nor the screaming and bellowing of the religious and political banshees. Truth always comes out in the end. If you have been duped by those who have stolen your money for their unholy purposes, it is better to finally realize it than to pretend and be included among them.
Peacefully stand up for integrity, truth, and honor. There is no need for guns or violence to do that.
God Bless Everyone Everywhere
