Where are the Christians ?? What about "....those who trespass against us?"
"If we could read the secret histories of our enemies, we should find, in each man's life, sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility." William Wadsworth Longfellow
Ask yourself. If someone wounds an unarmed man with a gun; if someone beats up a person with no arms; if someone wounds a person unable to strike back--ie.a disabled person is physically attacked, and beaten up--is not the attacker a cowardly bully?
This was sent to our Senator, Today..
(It would be hard for any elected official to do this, even a Latter Day Saint.)
Dear Senator Reid -
What would we do, if someone stood up and asked, "Was the firing of Cruise Missiles into Afghanistan and Sudan an act of war?"
Was that incident, the real declaration of war, in the current war, declared by the Appointed-President?
The exhibition of passing the plate during yesterday's ceremony, at the National Cathedral, was a national disgrace. How do you think that appeared to the world, watching on television?
There and then, the religious rhetoric failed to express the fact that unless we forgive those who trespass against us, we are destined to exist in the Israeli-Palestinian world of "attack-revenge-counter-attack."
We have no one to contest against. At least, the Israelis know who to blame. They have someone to ask, "What do you want?" "Can we sit down and talk?"
We are flying blind. We are flying blind down a tunnel of darkness with no glimmer of light, or end, in sight.
We are repeating our past mistakes, if we attack innocent people, again, like we did in that despicable missile attack that killed a proportionate number of innocents, (relative to their population), that the terrorists did, this last Tuesday. We need to punish individuals, not revenge ourselves on a whole nation.
Lets spend the same money, dropping dollar bills over Afghanistan, on the people, so they can afford to rid themselves of Bin Ladin.
Do you have the guts to act as a forgiving Christian--Latter-day Saint?
Sincerely,
Bob Moneymaker
