#Episcopalian ~= #KKKristianity
#ChristianPacifist > #NatC
It's heartbreaking for me, who grew up in a Jewish neighborhood where my friends' grandparents had numbers tattooed on their arms, to watch Israel become everything they fled... and use religion to justify it
Also ๐๐ for a #ChristianPacifist to watch #NatC fundamentalists use the name of Jesus to oppress & demonize every group Jesus specifically tells us to stand with

I'm a #ChristianPacifist I can't see how to avoid it
If they 'win', it's fascism & civil war. If they lose , they're ready for #J6 2.0
My personal preference is for #Indigenous elders to oversee reapportionment of *their* land to enable a Great Divorce
This #ChristianPacifist is waiting for folks to realize that violence isn't the answer, ever
People need to read Franz Fanon, not bin Laden
Fanon understood the reasons using terrorism as a tactic in asymmetrical warfare was effective
That doesn't excuse terrorists - I'm a #ChristianPacifist - but please believe me, bin Laden, #Hamas, & #Netanyahu ALL have read Fanon & understand the playbook
Our leaders & media NEED to make ppl aware of the theory behind these actions
Otherwise, we're all doing EXACTLY what the terrorists (& arms merchants) want us to do
Can someone sane please help me understand how #Fennerman wearing a hoodie was beyond the pale but fisticuffs isn't?
This #ChristianPacifist is easily confused & very concerned. Fistfights in #Congress marked the run-up to the first #CivilWar

A radical is someone who looks for the root of the problem rather than tinkering with symptoms. I am a radical #ChristianPacifist who would suggest you revisit your definition.
I think the word you're looking for is 'fundamentalist': someone who divides the world into Us vs Them, then demonizes Them
That headset is always headed toward violence
As JFK famously said, "Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable."
I am a #ChristianPacifist who meditates on those words A LOT
I am a #ChristianPacifist. I know, you thought those were extinct.
I have also read #Frantz_Fanon
That's how I know that, while it's quite true that (as #POTUS sd) "there's no excuse for #Terrorism"
It's also true that there's ALWAYS a Reason for terrorism
Biden & Bibi know that too. But ignoring it is so much more convenient & profitable ๐
#SmedleyButlerWasRight

Prayers ascending for all caught in the middle of violence, wherever & however it's inflicted
