fighting back against evil effectively... a comment
pretty thoughtful comment i saw over at zero hedge last night following a story about Adelson and other dual citizen oligarchs destroying the U.S.:
“I am tempted to post something unflattering to the tribalists, but I’m not going to do it.
I am reminded of when I saw a poor kid who was on a bad acid trip being chased by a group of Christians at a Rainbow Gathering. The Christians surrounded the kid and they were shouting, “I command you to come out of him, in the name of Jesus Christ!” The kid just snarled and muttered and made gutteral demon noises.
I pushed through the screaming Christians, and went up to the kid and said in his ear, “I love you man, you’re ok.” Immediately he calmed down. I turned to the Christians and said, “Don’t you remember when the disciples tried to cast out the demon, and couldn’t, and asked Jesus why not, and he said.”This kind only comes out by fasting and prayer'”?
“What he meant was that you have fast and pray to get rid of your hate. You have to love the person, not hate the demon. The demon knows who Jesus is. The demon isn’t afraid of a name. This isn’t magic! The name Jesus isn’t like abracadabra! The demon is feeding on your hate and fear. Your yelling is just making it stronger. You have to love. That’s what the demons can’t stand, love and compassion. It’s the spirit of Christ they hate, not magic words.”
Anyway, without saying anything against Adelson or this other oligarch, I would just say I will not let them goad me into hating them. If I do that, they win.”
