In another week of tragedies, once again
the human race has trivialized the loss of life.
The first was the shocking mass shooting
of 49 people in a LGBT club in the USA. - 12/6/2016
The second was the apprehensive murder
of a female British MP Jo Cox by a far right extremism supporter. She has left
behind two very young children aged 3 and 5. Once again there as been a
national outpouring of grief by the UK. - 17/6/2016
The third, Ron Lester, a little known
actor in the USA passed away from kidney and liver failure. This trended on
Facebook as many people commented on his passing. -17/6/2016
The fourth was a deeply tragic story of
a 2-year-old child being snatched by an alligator in Orlando. -16/6/2016
However the following did not make any
impact on people who were so consumed by the above stories:
There was the tragic loss of life of 34
refugees trying to get to Algeria. They were abandoned in the desert by the
people smugglers. TWENTY, I repeat TWENTY of these were children. - 16/6/2016
A bomb detonated in a ladies toilet in
Target in Illinois. Fortunately no one was injured, but it is suspected that it
is linked to Targets policy on transgender bathroom use. - 10/6/2016
Another woman was murdered in a so
called ‘honour killing’. She was seven months pregnant with her second child
when her mother and brother killed her. Her first child is only ten months old.
- 17/6/2016
I have included the dates of each event
so you are aware of when each event happened.
Now, lets discuss the reaction of
humanity to these events.
1. Within 24 hours of the shooting, pro
gun people and the NRA were on the news defending their right to own guns. It
once again became about the second amendment right to bear arms than about the
49 people who lost their lives at the hands of a crazed gunman who was able to
buy an assault rifle with no questions asked, even though he was on the FBI
watch list. What about the people that died? Once again, most of the pro gun
people of the USA claim to be ‘christian’. They are more concerned about their
guns than the loss of life. Oh yes, the 49 people the gunman killed were in a
LBGT club. It is the ‘christians’ who are protesting against the LBGT community
from being treated as human beings. Where is the love God asks you to show all
humanity?
2. I understand the grief shown by those
in the UK towards this woman, as she was a public figure. However no one except
the husband has shed a single tear for this young lady who chose love over her
family and was murdered for her choice. She is just another number in a long
list of these so called ‘honour killings’. And to most people, she is just
another Hindu/Muslim woman who can no longer breed. Where is the love God asks
you to show all humanity?
3. TWENTY children and fourteen adults
have died at the hands of people smugglers. It made the Aljazeera news.
Considering most “white christians” don’t read this site as is it mainly
focuses on the middle east, it did not have much of an impact on the world.
Once again the attitude would be 34 less refugees to worry about. Where is the
love God asks you to show all humanity?
4. The Target bathroom policy of
allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their identity has caused
outrage in the USA. Over 1.3 million people have signed a petition against
Target for this policy. I have seen an article on this petition and I can tell
you that mainly ‘christians’ have signed it. Respecting a person includes how
they see themselves. This policy is a positive step for humanity and yet,
mainly ‘christians’ are the ones getting upset. Where is the love God asks you
to show all humanity?
Unfortunately I do fall into the group
of ‘christians’ I have hammered in this article. There is no other way to
describe me as I do believe in God.
BUT I do not believe that God hates the
LBGT community, Muslims and any other group ‘christians’ choose to pick on. I
believe that God loves everyone, whether they believe in Him or not. He cares
about the 49 LBGT people killed in the USA, the 34 refugees who died in the
desert, the women murdered in ‘honour killings’, the UK MP who was murdered,
the little known actor who died, the child killed by the alligator and anyone
else who has died.
Lets stop the hate in the name of ‘christianity’
and any other religion that uses it as a tool to humiliate others. Lets embrace
each other with love. Lets treat every single person as a human being and not
according to a label we have given them which then lowers their status as a
human.
