For those who bear the burdens of this world while anticipating a future heavenly rearrangement, we notice, counterintuitively, that the once and future kingdom of heaven suffers violence; for violent attackers do indeed take the kingdom by force.
In Ukraine today, we discern this happening—the sacrilege of destruction. That putinist destroyer who claims to be acting on behalf of decency and religion is actually, in service to his god of forces, destroying the Ukraine and its people.
To be murdering and marauding in the name of what is sacred is blasphemy.
The grand highholykook patriaduck of Moskva needs to remind his overlord that the original Church founder taught non-violence, forgiveness, mercy and grace, to whit:
Blessed are the peacemakers; blessed are the gentle people; love your enemies; pray for those who persecute you; turn the other cheek when someone strikes you. Be merciful; project grace instead of grievance.
The Founder did not instruct his people to bully their way into running the world, the republic, the empire nor the next nation over on the map. He did not command his people, nor his disciples, nor any of those brave souls who actively defend innocent people to—He did not command them to bomb the hell out of a nation on behalf of orthodoxy.
Hypocrisy: that’s what putin’s presumptious program is. . . orthodox hypocrisy.
This is what the kingdom of “heaven” looks like when purveyors of violence have imposed their conquest by the god of forces.
Lastly, in a parallel universe, the secular realm, this is what a Capitol institution looks like when madmen strive to destroy it and the Republic for which it stands, on behalf of their maga-madman.
Blessed are the peacemakers; blessed are the gentle people; love your enemies; pray for those who persecute you; turn the other cheek when someone strikes you. Be merciful; project grace instead of grievance.
Don't let anyone fool you into believing that the grace and love of God ought to be imposed with violence and destruction on the institutions of this world.
