Of Biblical Proportions
I have been reading the Bible this year. So much of the skeleton of our current society owes its
existence in part to the Bible, so I feel it my human duty to know its many stories and messages.
What is becoming clear, however, is that a few Cains in a sea of Abels is enough to corrupt a system
as slow to act as the modern day United States of America.
“For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever
and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and
becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive,
meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to
inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.” - Mosiah 3:19
The errant knight, servant of the people, armor of God, to fight the good fight
Built into our moral binding is the inability of the government to infringe upon our right to bear arms,
so fallen in love with its guns, that this business has become so lucrative, there are more guns than people.
With militarization at the level of the citizen, it is more important than ever that to question the paradigm
of individual meekness to the extent which we believe that every person has an equal right to bear arms while
we should truly considering sacrificing (some of) our guns to protect our children.
The ones who shall inherit the earth are not weak pacifists at all, but mild, gentle, and humble men who have
at their disposal great potential for destruction and the confidence to use this as a last resort.
So, the moral of this story is, "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness..." - old errant knight
