New Babel: Attack Iran

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

In the realm of God, peace is a given. If you don’t live in peace, you don’t live in God’s dominion.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

“I don’t know why I love you like I do. I don’t know why, I just do.”
Well-known song, but I’d never sing it to you.
“You made me love you. I didn’t wanna do it.”
I wouldn’t sing this one, either. Its meaning is a bit unclear. You didn’t twist my arm, so that sense of the words does not apply. However, you do offer so much that attracts and appeals that I can hardly resist your charms.
“I wanna hold your hand” is the tune that then resonates with what I feel with you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Mom, tell them I want to be an organ donor.”

[Not an 8th word from the cross, no. But perhaps a symbolic interpretation of communion/mass?]

D. Blog: Attack on Iran???

Some military and policy geeks seem to think we must get ready for the next war. They consider that “realism” and an extension of the “necessity” for “pre-emptive war.” Let’s get real! It’s actually self-fulfilling and self-defeating prophecy at best. At worst it’s the military-industrial complex at work beginning to articulate the propaganda to convince the American people we need to protect ourselves from the speck in our neighbor’s eye. Realism would be to prepare ourselves for peace.
