Judgement.

The Religious Right used Judgement to damn Hippies and Gays and win a political victory.

In 1984 Ronald Reagan said: "Christianity contains unconventional weapons."

One of these weapons was Judgement.

As the Millennium approached Reagan took advantage of Christian expectations to induce his Last Judgement. 

This was intended to damn all left-wing thinking forever.

But the fact remains that Judgement is not their decision.

Jesus said: "'Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.'"  Matthew 7:1 (NRSV)

And: "'The Father judges no one.'"  John 5:22 (NRSV)

They were tempted.

And they succumbed.

But their hate will not win out in the end.

God's mercy will prevail.

And His Love will stand.
