Divorced From Humanity?

[kentuck]

It is heart-breaking.

There are people that are not just divorced from reality, but divorced from humanity itself.

They are numb to murder. They are numb to tyranny. They are numb to our existence as human beings.

They accept lies and corruption as their norm. They have lost all feelings for their fellow man. It tears at our conscience.

They laugh at cruelty. They smirk at compassion. They want us to live in their world.

How do we open the eyes of the blind? What words will they hear?

As sure as the sun rises tomorrow, there will be a reckoning.

We cannot divorce ourselves from humanity. We must care for one another.

1. Compassion, humanity, loving (somewhat), etc...............

when "only" pertains to them, screw anyone that does not believe in their ideology.

Their cruel reality is self.

Me, me, me, me...........................................

2. These are vicious, brutal psychopaths.

They run our country now.

3. Concerned folks in Minneapolis and elsewhere have set the standard.

Show up for one another. We’re all in this together. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.
Old standards getting renewed urgency and importance.

Stand up or suffer Trump’s consequences.

4. Divorced from true Christianity as well.

These so-called "christians" use religious justifications for their violence, despite their own religion placing a heavy emphasis on peace, justice, forgiveness, love and nonviolence. "Christians over the centuries have appealed to sacred scriptures and theology to endorse slavery, white supremacy, inquisition, war, colonial oppression and varieties of racism, sexism and all manner of violence...The violence is not in the religion itself but in the uses to which Christian people employ the religion for various purposes." ( Lloyd Steffen)

5. Indeed.

Going on TV and saying the victim was dispatched "humanely". Like the kill shot to an animal.

Divorced from humanity is too kind a characterization.

That interview should be shared relentlessly. It should become their label.
