For a so-called "Christian Nation"...as some very proudly call
America...there's something sinfully wrong to that notion, when you live
in a Country without pity!
When laws are being made that
criminalizes a Human Being for having the misfortune in life of being
poor and homeless...where are those proud holier than thou Christians
who spend their eternal life "talking to Jesus"? where are all their
cries against social injustice??
The only social injustice for
this crowd of Christian wannabees, is in their inability to make a
society understand their need to "treat others as you want" rather than
"treat others as you would like to be treated, yourself"!! If you can't
beat them? Enter, Stage Right!...Christian Influence and big $$$, into
this picture of our 'not so perfect' Democracy. And what's the
Republicans' anger about Injustice in America?..."Religious Freedom".
The freedom to discriminate against all human civilization if it pleases
them! and the freedom for their insolent behavior towards human laws,
civil laws, or the moral constraints of a society.
The influence
in the notion of "One Nation, Under God"...and screw the rest of
humanity who are not Christians like them? and the Influence of smart
sinister $$$, as they openly exploit each other to achieve their goals,
is not what God intended!! And yes! sorry to inform those ignorantly
uninformed, but! "Just Talked to God and I'm Born Again, Praise the
Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"...is not going to cut it!! Their
hypocritical devout Christian persona and their refusal to obey
God!...while always saying, you must obey God's laws to be a good
Christian? No!! To their sorrow...whether it was the Pope, or people
just tired of accepting their horseshit...America is beginning to see
beyond the Evangelical Christian Veil.
Talked to God lately?? When
are the Republicans, Conservative America, and specially Evangelical
Christians going to Heal the Sick? or Feed the Hungry? or how about
Shelter the Homeless? The Pope mentioned that little tid-bit,
oh!?!?!...just about a couple of dozen times!! And as far as "talking to
God" is concerned?...Francis happens to be the only person on this
earth, as God's representative, who truly is authorized to speak to him!
All the despicable immorality and insolence towards your fellow man,
all your actions, and all the times you're Born-Again...is not going to
make you a good boy or a good girl, and get you into heaven!...you
'know' where you're going!
The Pope told you, how many
times?...but, will you ever listen?!?! Faith, Hope, and Charity are
extinct words in an ever present world of arrogance, greed, and
fundamental religious intolerance.
Homelessness is not a new
issue...it's been part of our society forever...and many throughout the
years have come from wars and returning veterans. But, the homeless
situation has never been so grave as it is today! Why does the United
States, the "Greatest Country on Earth"!! have more homelessness than
any other major industrialized nation in the world? Homelessness is a
by-product of income disparity. With the margin separating the the
Social Classes, today?...what else do expect?
An atmosphere of hate
systematically created by opportunists to produce chaos among the
masses, and the passing of laws criminalizing the homeless. Many cities
around the country are passing these laws and making it a crime to be
homeless! There are 500 anti-homeless laws in 58 California cities,
alone! Laws forbidding sharing food with the homeless in Birmingham,
Alabama, where Pastor Rick Wood was ordered by police to stop serving
hot dogs and bottled water to homeless people in a city park...or get
arrested!
“‘This makes me so mad,’ Wood told a local news station.
‘These people are hungry, they’re starving. They need help from people.
They can’t afford to buy something from a food truck.’”
Bans on
food-sharing exists in at least 17 cities around the country!! And where
are all the voices of concern from the Religiously Righteous Right?
where are the voices decrying this shameful American spectacle that's
suppose to be coming from the Right Side of the Aisle?
“I’m
just simply baffled by the idea that people can be without shelter in a
country, and then be treated as criminals for being without shelter. The
idea of criminalizing people who don’t have shelter is something that
my colleagues find as difficult as I do to even begin to comprehend.” ~~
Sir Nigel Rodley, Chairman, Human Rights Commission
The
embarrassingly shameful Homeless situation in the United States will
never change, as long as men of no conscience are elected and allowed to
make their own laws that benefit only the Rich and Famous...and their
pocketbooks...while leaving those much more less fortunate, to hang dry
in their own misery. It took the compassion and morals of the President
to stop this issue of criminalizing anyone who's homeless.
Being
cited last year by the UN Human Rights Commission after condemning
America’s inhumane treatment of its Homeless, you might think...just for
moral reasons...they would try to improve the condition in America?
Not! when one side deeply hates everyone and everything socially
connected with this country, and its total rejection of altruism...while
hypocritically, calling it a morally correct stance. All for the
delight of their ignorant trolling minions!
Want things to
change? only if the priorities of this country move from those who don't
need it...to those who do! Want to follow God? follow the Pontiff's
advice and give some homeless man a shelter!
Now! a homeless man gets
arrested ironically for sleeping under a symbol of Freedom...a blanket
in the design of an American Flag...I guess the prize for freedom is not
allowing the freedom to sleep without freezing your ass off!
And
if you're one of those who calls themselves a good Christian, and do
shelter someone?...the rest of us will have the good taste and don't
tell your fellow bigots that you did the right thing!
