Why are you only thankful today?

Perhaps because you have been accustomed to the daily thrashing we receive from the pseudocompassion of today's neoconservatives. Most of us aren't begrudged this day off. Hopefully you at least got the day off. Another thanks giving for a day to set it apart from the others. But don't think it's safe from the Christian Capitalist agenda. Soon paid holidays night be illegal, because it hinders competitiveness. I'm sure those eight year olds in China don't get paid holidays. Watch for the leveling of the playing field.

If I prayed to the christian god, I suppose I'd find it difficult to be thankful every day too. The thing about the idea of worshipping the god of the bile, er bible, is that you're doing it in vain if you only thank him once a year. The church I grew up in pointed out the idea that you need to be equally thankful every day. If you're not, your faith is not strong enough to move the proverbial mountain.

I, personally, look at Thanksgiving Day as a perjoritive celebration of the American genocide. Much like Columbus Day celebrates a very evil man as a hero. Again, we honor the genocide with a holiday celebration. How is this right?

The short answer, as you can probably guess, is that it is right in no way. The road to hell is paved with celebrations of genocide. As I wrestled with my issues of faith so many years ago, I took with me the teachings of my childhood church that emphasized the point that mainstream Christianity is not the church of God it portrays itself to be. Christian actions and the two thousand year legacy of death and destruction have no relevance to the teachings of Jesus. Come judgement day, the overwhelming majority of mainstream Christians were going to find themselves on a one way trip into a lake of fire.

I could not agree more today. From the evidence I have seen just this month, American Christians are rotten to the core and determined to make sure our great Nation of the People, by the People, for the People becomes a dogmatic autocracy run by the most cruel of emporers.

Be thankful for the fact that we are now looking at the resurgence of an evangelical movement of liberalism. Be prepared to suffer for your faith, as did the true believers during the last Gilded Age. Be prepared to give up your liberty, happiness and even perhaps your life in our ideological revolution. When you fight guns, money and bombs with ideas, we must be prepared to lose battles. But as the hubris of the culture of violence causes it to self-destruct, we will be there to pick up the pieces. And welcome the newly enlightened into the New Progressive Era.

Finally, give thanks that every move made by little w brings us a day closer.
