Douglass. In this sense, the practice of non-violence is the antidote to war. Our churches practice politic silence regarding the dehumanization of Iraqis, loudly praying that our soldiers be divinely freed from suffering and death while they deliver unbelievable agony to the subject people. A non-violent anti-war movement must therefore begin by a re-humanization of the muted Iraqi voice. Every Iraqi killed by U.S. forces must receive a name and a home. Once the full humanity of the Iraqi victim is recognized, once we see the face of Christ in the broken Iraqi child, then the potency of our smart bombs will be bled into the sands of the forgiving desert. It is precisely through the power that is no power in this world that the powers of this world are brought to shame and are made to see their true weakness.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-65470232390057902182007-12-25T16:31:00.000-07:002007-12-25T16:31:00.000-07:00The Denial of the Incarnation<A HREF="http://nonviolentjesus.blogspot.com/2007/12/denial-of-incarnation.html" REL="nofollow">The Denial of the Incarnation</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-59957777495093382092007-12-25T16:26:00.000-07:002007-12-25T16:26:00.000-07:00The Ten Commandments<A HREF="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_cgboeree_071223_ten_commandments_for.htm" REL="nofollow">The Ten Commandments</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-38157129979406931772007-12-25T16:23:00.000-07:002007-12-25T16:23:00.000-07:00Bush's Real RecordA five page report but a good re...<A HREF="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_joseph_j_071223_bush_s_real_record_2c_.htm" REL="nofollow">Bush's Real Record</A><BR/><BR/>A five page report but a good read!!!Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-10632793914739711152007-12-25T14:40:00.000-07:002007-12-25T14:40:00.000-07:00Christian Church in Hamdaniya, IraqThe celibration...<A HREF="http://www.corriere.it/Fotogallery/Tagliate/2007/12_Dicembre/25/NAT2/09.JPG" REL="nofollow"> Christian Church in Hamdaniya, Iraq</A><BR/><BR/>The celibration appears to have been last Decemeber 12th...David B.
