SUNDAY SERMON - Martin Luther King Jr. Day edition
Verily, verily I say unto to you, hearken this day unto the Gospel according to ……. Malcolm X:
"I am a Muslim, because it's a religion that teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It teaches you to respect everybody, and treat everybody right. But it also teaches you if someone steps on your toe, chop off their foot. And I carry my religious axe with me all the time."
"I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion."
"There is nothing in our book, the Qur'an, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone lays a hand on you, send him to the cemetery."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thus, endth today’s readings. …….. but there will be more from Malcolm X concerning MLK upon the morrow.
*Passes Chalice Cup of hot coco laced with Baileys out to the congregation*
*makes esoteric gesticulations with big-honkin mittens on*
Be ye warm and happy all of this week, my LJ Brethren!
