It is interesting to me that we are engaged in social networking online and we are still hateful towards people that are different. It does not make any sense at all. We live in an age of globalization due to the Internet and social networking.
There is no reason to be so divided while at the same time we are communicating with so many around the world. To call this a giant contradiction would be a complete understatement. It is like parents allowing their children to ride the family car (with a drivers license) and not allowing them access to the keys. Social networking online is growing and growing faster and faster with not end in sight. How can we communicate with so many around the world and stop at the gates of life with hatred over something like this?
It is obvious this is a religious issue. Who is doing more in blocking this Islamic Center? The radical mixed up Christians that does not know hardly anything of their own Doctrines.
Luke 6:42
How can you say to another believer, ‘Friend, let me take the piece of sawdust out of your eye,’ when you don’t see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye. Then you will see clearly to remove the piece of sawdust from another believer’s eye.
Luke 6:41-43 (in Context) Luke 6
Matthew 22:39
The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’
Matthew 22:38-40 (in Context) Matthew 22
1 John 4:19
19We love because God loved us first.
Here are just a few of many verses in the Christian Bible that talks about love and how important it is to do on a daily basis. What love is being done by these “so called” Christians?" By the Constitution of the United States of America, this country is NOT and I repeat NOT a Christian nation!! It is a melting pot of many, many things, including religion.
This is a historical moment in our history. That is why this posting is in this blog. Each and everyone of us is responsible for human history. Our day-to-day actions effect history. In 70 years or more some child in a history class is going to read about this day and come to realize how childish Americans in the early 21st Century acted. The shame of it all! The degradation of American evolution. Instead of uplifting September 11, 2001 with love and tolerance, we are adding more hate to the fire.
Due to this, we are not hardly a nation that represents Christianity. Hate is not taught anywhere in the Christian Bible. Just the same we hear hate from every day Christians from all walks of life. This is not how Christians are suppose to act, nor is it how Americans are suppose to act.
If we realize it or not, we live in a globalized interdependent world. The social networking that we all partake in today was not forced upon us by government. We did all of this by our own freewill. There is not time in human history that mankind has communicated so much around the world. This human bonding is getting stronger and stronger. Now it is up to all of us to remove more of the barriers like this one so we can be one human race.
This task as you may see will not be easy. Since 2000, we have started communicating with one another. Now in 2010, we can break down the barriers of religion, race, and all the rest that is keeping us from growing as individuals and a human beings.
