Good and Evil.


"Ah, you who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"  Isaiah 5:20 (NRSV)

"Ah, you who are wise in your own eyes, and shrewd in your own sight!"  Isaiah 5:21 (NRSV)

Unfortunately this describes perfectly those right-wing religious leaders who have blessed Generation X and condemned the Baby-Boomers.

Their temple is corrupt.

They have sold the Holy Spirit for political profit.

And sided with rich corporations for money.

"One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord."  Proverbs 17:15 (NRSV)

For God is God of truth.

And His truth will prevail.
