Empty suits, Empty Christians

 

They wear expensive suits and every hair is in place. Mike Johnson is one. He thanked God for the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, the same bill that will cost millions of lives not just in the U.S. but all over the world thanks to what is in it. If there was a god, would he be that cruel? Those suits, no matter what label, are empty of human decency. 

Many of the Republicans who voted for it claim they are Christian. Those, who don't flaunt their alleged religion, also voted for it, but they aren't claiming to follow a faith that allegedly the exact opposite of their actions? 

And what actions are those?

As a start the concentration camps that the U.S. has in Florida and other places. People who have survived tell of treatment that matches Auschwitz and other German camps. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/rumeysa-ozturk-what-i-witnessed-inside-an-ice-womens-prison  by Rümeysa Öztürk is just one example. 

How many Americans died in WWII to end this treatment of humans? Maybe there should no longer be parades to honor their sacrifices. Although they tried, they failed to end the horror man inflicts on man. Maybe we should apologize to them instead. I suspect they never would have thought their descendants would duplicate what they fought against. Who would have thought America would become what it has become?

Those alleged Christians, so quick to tell others how to live and love must have a commandment "Thou shall only be kind to those like me." They probably haven't read the following Biblical quote.

And then there's Gaza. Deliberate starvation of fellow human beings. Killing people trying to get food. I'm so grateful that I'm no longer American. If I were still American my tax dollar, when it went for Israeli weapons would mean that I was a participant in the starvation, the killings. Even as a Swiss-Canadian, a human being, I feel in every ion of my body, the horror of what is being done to my fellow humans. 

I'm powerless to stop it. A measly blog doesn't begin to change anything. The empty suits in Congress will continue.
