Cooperation.

President Joe Biden is calling for the leaders of industry to cooperate with his plans to improve the lives of all Americans.

This would mark a major shift in global power.

The corporations no longer have absolute power over the population.

The Congress as the people's house has greater power than the corporations most of which are based in the United States.

So President Biden's return to Unionism will have a big impact on the lives of many.

It can only be hoped that the world endorses his plans and follows suit.

Then we may see a more just and equitable world.

God's Love.

Conservative Christians delight in telling gays and lesbians that they are going to hell.

But homosexuality is love.

And "God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them."  1 John 4:16.

Misinformation.

The rich corporations give millions of dollars to right-wing think tanks who then conduct campaigns of misinformation to obstruct reform.

They somehow justify these donations to their shareholders.

And they wage media-backed hate campaigns against left-wing political leaders.

These campaigns are coordinated with right-wing politicians who back their misinformation and political attacks.  

All of this is motivated by money.

And shareholders turn a blind eye.

So we should ignore their misinformation.

And pray for protection from their campaigns of hate.

Resurrection.

I believe in the Resurrection and Life Everlasting.

Death is not the end.

The Pharisees condemned Jesus to death and hell.

But God lifted him up to a place of honor in Heaven.

And so Jesus lives!

And we live also!

Scapegoats.

There are two scapegoats: Liberal Socialism and Gays and Lesbians.

And these go back to Newt Gingrich who blamed everything on Liberals and Liberal thinking and Ronald Reagan who blamed the left-leaning Hippies and Baby-Boomers for all the evils of the world.

This has culminated in the QAnon conspiracy which lies about left-wing politicians. calls gay men pedophiles, and advocates violence against both.

So if you are embracing either of these scapegoats you are endorsing modern Fascism. 

These scapegoats are powered by hate and fear and are also backed up by right-wing Satanists in our popular culture.

They idolize Adolf Hitler and the Nazis; and they are anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and homophobic.

So if you want to return to sanity in our world you will have to reject their lies and their scapegoating.

Good Friday.

It is hard to know what to feel on Good Friday.

Listening to the readings of that fateful day it would seem that the people involved had little idea of what they were doing.

"Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do."

The Pharisees saw Jesus as a dangerous and threatening heretic.

And the masses followed the lead of the Pharisees.

The Romans saw Jesus as a potentially seditious insurgent - "The King of the Jews".

But Jesus was God's chosen messenger:   

"The Light of the World".

And Good Friday is a sad day because it is the day when God was rejected - the day when the Light went out of the world.

And so our tears are appropriate.

Godfather.

Ronald Reagan was the Godfather of evil.

He justified the violence of Generation X.

And he sanctified their hate.

He inspired damnation.

And he glorified lies.

He used Satan to win.

And as such he became the Godfather of evil.

He moved the Pope to bless his campaign.

And he used Christianity as a political weapon.

But his victory is a lie.

And his glory is fiction.
