Once again I would rather be a unicorn than Human.

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.
