Father of Peace?

Once you hear the biblical text and understand that the Bible satirizes and dismantles the arrogance and foolishness of war, political schemes, government powers, and the absurdity of any ruling authority, you can't hear the Old Testament without bursting into laughter, the way that God laughs at us.
The gift of biblical satire--with all its fury--is true freedom from the historical tyranny of the hell that surrounds us.
Thank God that God judges and condemns us in the Bible. Only a monster would bless the monsters we are: men and women who do such monstrous things in his name, using his book, which lays out the epic parables of our monstrous forbears, whose legacy we are so desperate to manifest as our new destiny in West Asia.
I challenge all of you to find one inch of Western society that hasn't been coopted, sold, or sold itself out to slogans or navel-gazing.
There are signs of hope, always, but we can count on our Western institutions to fight against them in the name of the almighty dollar.
After all, our institutions were established by David and administered by Absalom.
Ah, yes, "A student is not above his teacher."
This week, I discuss Luke 6:39-40.
