One of the greatest errors of the church throughout its history is that it did not instruct in love through deed. It is said that Christ said, "Love your neighbor as yourself". I can believe this so long as "love" is active and not passive.
But this active love has been impossible for this church - to love your neighbor as you love yourself - to love a nigger as you love yourself - to love a tranny as you love yourself - to love a raggedy dressed bum as you love yourself - to love a faggot as you love yourself - to love a whore as you love yourself - to love a witch as you love yourself. How impossible it has been.
There is no Christian nation in this world, for thousands of years, that could instruct Israel on active love and human decency - not a single one.
There is no guiding light because this world has long forgotten what light is. This world as it stands is, in part, the legacy, the posterity, and the fruit of this godforsaken lightless church. 2000 years of active love would have created a different world - yet here we are.
Angels flew tonight - girl, they flew.
Narrow has always been the way, and those who enter are still few. These scriptures teach people to love the oppressive systems that benefit them in the form of wealth.
To love and cling to oppressive systems that destroy human lives and our ecosystem that we are all part of, is to love nothing as you love yourself.
Once upon a time, the church was known to stand in the way of violent oppression - speaking truth and bringing to light what powerful and wealthy lovers of selves insisted on keeping hidden.
But the church grew weary of love, and grew weary of waiting for Jesus to return, and grew weary of being tormented and killed because of love, so they relied on the strength and power of Caesar and brought about the lightless worthless roman catholic church.
Love became donations and smiles and well wishes sprinkled with commandments, judgments and condemnation. Love was no longer the human barrier between the law and the oppressed. And though there were exceptions, such as Oscar Romero, narrow remains the way.
Tonight I questioned if it were possible for one to love light and decency as much as they love themselves without God walking with them. Then I thought of a notable example, Martin Luther King, who actively loved humanity and decency.
Understanding this, I then thought about if it were possible to instruct others to not love their own lives so much.
A semi-bright spacecraft flew, then followed by a significant distance, coming over the trees, a second spacecraft that flew twice as bright. I was amazed and baffled.
I again wondered if there were anything I could do to instruct people, then I had the thought, I could just show them (whatever that may mean).
The second spacecraft that was twice as bright turned on the SUPER-HIGH beams and became SO VERY bright that the bright white light became bluish through the atmosphere. I was sitting in my chair and I had to stand up and clutch my pearls in amazement.
