Saw something unusual yesterday, a post by a Christian espousing love and grace. Yes, of course it was from a member of one of the mainline religions that still follow the teachings of the Galileans.
You don't hear much about love and grace from the Evangelicals these days. There's lots about the joys of greed and the dangers of not worshiping their new Messiah, nothing about grace or love for our brothers and sisters.
The new Messiah? Oh he's a billionaire who's on his third wife and who doesn't allow an hour to pass during the day in which he doesn't violate the Commandment that we not bear "false witness." I think he's a little light on the adultery one too, maybe some others as well. The Evangelicals don't mind. Situational morality is their newest and strongest doctrine.
Franklin Graham loves him for some reason and pronounces dire punishment to those who don't.
I think I'll take some time today and try to determine what, if anything, the God of the Good Book says about the ownership of vengeance.
