I went to a Peace march yesterday and I tried to figure out what compelled me to do so?
There could be a million political reasons but what it came down to was this... There are those who control this nation who say they hear from God and God told them to invade Iraq. Well I hear from God and God told me that God wants peace. The men who say they hear from God are now saying they want to bomb Iran and destroy them as well. My God says he loves Iraqis and Iranians and they are his children... God also told me that God's children should not bomb anyone... If one of us is hearing from God then the other must be hearing from someone or something else. I went to my state capital to say with my presence that my God is opposed to this war and every war. I felt my God's presence there.
Perhaps this is a time for enlightened Christians to do the same and make a decision to stand up to power and oppose this bloody slaughter? One day and not too far away the choice may be taken away from us if we do not. There were few professing Christians in the march I went on... I was among Atheists, Muslims, Communists, Homosexuals, and generally anti-religious marchers but somehow I felt more kinship with them on that march then I do with other Christians who sit in pews and swallow the message that God is speaking to my nation's leaders... Perhaps I am wrong and I am in league with the enemies of God? Time will tell. It seems to me that Christians who are against this bloody war are fearful and afraid to act. Maybe their God will send them to hell if they stand up to the men that hear from God and want to launch a world war against the Muslims? Maybe they are already there?
