Perilious Times: Will the true righteous people please Speak Up

Submitted by John Savage (United States), May 24, 2004 at 12:33

We are now living in perilious time fighting against spiritual forces of corruption in high places. The inevitable degradation of world society (sexual impurity [both heterosexual and homosexual], religious hypocracy, vile crimes of hate and anger) leads us to realize our dependency on a higher being. As a sincere Christian (not Baptist, Catholic or Methodist and so on- for these names do not reside in the Bible and therefore are a creation of man), I am commanded to love all those who transgress natural human morality,civility and social responsibility, even asking for personal forgiveness and tolerance in the midst of my own flaws and mistakes.

Despite my doctrinal disagreements with other denominations, religions and Muslims, I realize the inate human spirit thrives towards the same positive ideals and goals for future generations. I encourage all those who believe in justice, freedom and equality to examine the sincere motives of Jihad terrorist groups, along with those Muslims who also disagree with their random acts of violence against 'Christians' and 'crusaders' to speak up.

Distance yourselves from this small percentage of religious zealots of violence by educating the rest of us concerning true Muslim beliefs through communication. We can get through this threat to freedom by tyranny and pose a true united front to what is right and not what religion is right. Love through patience and understanding is needed, and using force to defend those who are victims (Iraqi, Egypt, Sudan, America, Spain,etc.) is an essential tool for progress and international security and social, religious and economic prosperity.
