We need a new religion.

I am going to on a little rant here and I hope that I don’t piss people off. What I really want to do is to get people to start thinking.

We are in the middle of a pandemic. People are dying. There are many ways that we can help save people’s lives. One way is to wear a mask. Another way is to social separate. We should also avoid large gathering were the virus could easily spread. These are three pretty simple things to do. Now there is a segment of our society that says that you can’t make me wear a mask. There is a segment of our society that says I don’t have to social distance. There is also a segment of our society that says you cannot stop me from congregating. One of those groups that are saying all three of those things is the Church.

 Now I will say not all Churches don’t care about the masses but the Catholic Church went all the way to the Supreme Court so they could still assemble for their so called freedom of religion. Now that is where I feel that religion fails the masses. The man that they supposable follow was the one who said to love they neighbor as much as they love themselves. As I stated we are in the middle of a pandemic. The Church should be leading the way not making matters worse. They should be telling everyone to wear a mask so you do not get your neighbors and family sick. If you love your neighbor you should be telling everyone they should be social distancing making sure no one gets sick. The Church should be saying because we love you as Jesus has instructed us we will not congregate until it can be done without risk of people getting sick. In a nut shell they should not be waiting for the government to tell them to do the right thing. They should be leading the way by doing the right thing.

Since the right thing is not being done maybe we should start over again with a new organization that really believes in what he said. I may not be a good Christian but I do often ask myself “What would Jesus do”.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
