'A Call To Conscience'

Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago: "As more than 1,000 Iranian men, women and children lay dead after days of bombardment from U.S. and Israeli missiles, the official White House X account on Thursday evening posted a video of scenes from popular action movies spliced with actual strike footage from their war on Iran. The clip was captioned: "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY." A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it's a video game " it's sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day. Six U.S. soldiers have been killed. They are also dishonored by that social media post. Hundreds of thousands displaced, and many millions more are terrified across the Middle East."

Stay in your lane church man. Don't tell us Christian warriors how to act. Not when there are Muslims to kill and money to be made ...

We can do much better than these foolish, bloody monsters who are now acting out their worst fantasies by butchering in our name.

Strength does not equal viciousness.

A call to conscience? A bit late for that.

We elected an adjudicated rapist convicted of 34 felonies who cheated on his pregnant wife with a corn star, who bragged on video about sexually assaulting women and reveled on entering dressing rooms while underage girls were naked.

"Trump's Holy War

As many of us have heard by now, U.S. military commanders have reportedly been justifying America's attack on Iran by invoking Bible prophecy " this according to a series of complaints made to a religious watchdog group.

But what if I told you that these military commanders are not only misunderstanding what the Bible teaches us, but that they actually helping to spread evil? Here's what I mean."

www.youtube.com

(scroll down for the Transcript if you like, but the video is compelling)

Situation is worse than even I thought, with Drinky Peter installing members of his white nationalist 'church' in the high command, and the wicked witch in the WH telling people that if they disobey Trump, they are disobeying God.

But it is actual Christians like the Archbishop in the thread article and the religious Military service members group that is spotlighted in the video defending the troops who object to being used this way.

We've always known Evangelical Christians are cut from the same cloth as Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Now is their time to shine.

This is what I love about Islamic countries.

In this case, I don't think he'd disagree. Same as if 25 buses of Iranians drove over a cliff.

- who choked out 1.2 million Americans.

And who murdered 600,000 people, and still counting, most of them children, most of them by starvation and lack of medicine... needlessly because with some warning other nations could have taken up the slack... and he did so to give himself and his Oligarch owners yuge tax cuts.

1Nut isn't here about issues; he's here to troll people who don't recognize his solely self-perceived vastly superior intellect.

OneIQirony: far more, many times over, have been killed by the governments of Russia, China, and North Jorea, just to name a few.

Why aren't you demanding THOSE countries be invaded, you disingenuous piece of shot?

Time for so-called evangelical Christians to practice orthopraxy and orthocardia instead of just (often skewed) orthodoxy.

Orthopraxy (from Greek orthos, "correct," and praxis, "action") refers to the prioritization of "right practice" or ethical behavior over mere correct belief (orthodoxy) in religious and philosophical contexts. It emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated through actionable, daily conduct, such as compassion, justice, and ritual adherence, rather than just intellectual assent to doctrine.

Orthocardia Orthocardia is a theological and spiritual term referring to having a "right heart"i.e. proper inner attitudes, desires, and motivations. It complements orthodoxy (right belief) and orthopraxy (right action) by focusing on the heart's alignment with love and truth. It emphasizes that true inner transformation and spiritual maturity stem from inward disposition rather than just external conformity.

I e been around here long enough to remember when antisemitism was met with a suspension. I e also been around long enough to remember when Iranians who killed gay people was not acceptable. What happened to you favgs?

What I find ironic is that most typical urban educated Iranians really like Americans in general. And yet they are the ones bearing the brunt of our bombs.

Regardless, killing civilians has never been a good look for the US military. Puts us in the same class as Netanyahu and Putin. Kill enough civilians and any differences between the bad guys become just a matter of degree.

Just like the Iranian Ayatollahs,
Open acceptance of homosexuality is an imminent threat to your social order.

"Regardless, killing civilians has never been a good look for the US military"

You watched too many Hollywood movies.

Mostly they weren't civilians, they were Indians. Savages.

Having a conscience is an emergent property.

Which hasn't yet emerged in Republican brains.
