Bigotry is not a Christian value.
Christ did not say, "Kill the motherfuckers!"
No matter which translation you prefer.
Christianity is easy to explain:
Love, forgiveness, charity, kindness.
Do these things and your World is free
Because you have freed
Your mind,
Your heart,
Your soul.
Christianity is not always easy to do.
Practice what Christ preached,
Not what the men on your cable television channel urge,
Not what the false Christians in your Facebook feed urge.
Hate is easy,
That's why so much of it fills our world.
Find love, forgiveness, charity, kindness
In your mind,
In your heart,
In your soul.
Bigotry is not a Christian value.
Hate is not a Christian value.
Violence is not a Christian value.
Selfishness is not a Christian value.
Christ did not say, "Those people deserve to die."
Christ did not say, "Bomb them into the Stone Age."
Christ did not say, "Buy more guns."
Christ did not say, "Shut your doors.
Leave them by the side of the road.
To starve."
Love, forgiveness, charity, kindness
Free your mind,
Free your heart,
Free your soul.
Free your World.
Peace. Shalom. Salaam.
