You keep using words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.
Politics ahead again. If that's not your thing, feel free to depart.
Most days, bears shit in the woods, Glenn Beck says horrible shit on TV, and it's all rather gross but not worth getting worked up about it. It's going to happen whatever you do. Today, though, orange_crushed posted about a recent quote from Glenn Beck that is just too appalling to ignore. According to Beck, people should leave any churches that talk about social justice, because that's just code for Nazism and Communism. Here's an article.
Rather than trying to balance my urge to CURSE IN CAPSLOCK* with the urge to write a long-winded post about how concern for social justice is integral to my faith, I will just direct you to people who say it better than I could given my current sleepy state:
orange_crushed 's clear, succinct, but forceful post on the subject
A Catholic priest points out the wrongheadedness of Beck's idea in an article entitled "Glenn Beck to Jesus: Drop Dead"
Or how about this: And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” -Matthew 25: 40.
Social justice: it's for long-haired Jews who hang out with prostitutes and tax collectors, talk about forgiving enemies (supporting the terrorists, clearly), and don't even own a car.
*LIKE THIS: WHAT A FUCKING SHITHEAD!
