Light the Fire Again...

i'm going to say something controversial. or at least, it will seem that way at first. just read the rest, and don't judge something based on one sentence, because religion has been doing that for years and all it's gotten them is division and doctrines. trust me, and we'll all get to the end and learn something.

the KKK had the right conceptual goal.

there, now that that's over with, we can proceed.

to save what's left of your opinion of me, let me say that they had the wrong everything else. the wrong methods, the wrong audience, the wrong subject. but the goal, the destination, was the one that humanity is born to seek... purity.
hitler probably felt the same way... to create the perfect world, to cleanse humanity, to purge the flaws from something that had so much potential. but his personal view of what consisted of a flaw was completely and utterly corrupted by a rediculous and contemptible world view. and so, instead of fixing things, he slaughters 6 million innocent people.
flash forward a few decades...
and here we have the KKK, burning crosses on the lawns of black people, convinced all the while that they're in the right. they're doing the same thing. a different visible minority is chosen, but the resulting actions are almost identical.
now... to the crux. the burning cross. i have seen several different opinions as to what exactly it meant, but i'm going to go with the one that seems most true and good... and again, it's about purity. just like the gold being refined in the fire, the impurities being taken away. they wanted a pure faith. don't we all? but the problem is when we get wrapped up in human concepts of just what exactly an impurity is. this is the distinction:
Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.

for those of you who don't follow, it means that there ARE NO physical impurities. so stop looking for black people or jewish people or islamic people or iraqi people. stop racial profiling, it's disgusting. and learn how to discern the spiritual things, learn to begin spiritually profiling.

(this is not, as it sounds at the moment, intolerance or bigotry or prejudice. because this process starts with OURSELVES. but more on that in a second...)

like i said, we're not fighting the right fight, the right "enemy". we're looking for visible minorities to dispell, when we are being consumed alive by an invisible majority that struts about unfettered, because we don indifference when perception is difficult. there was nothing hard about finding a black person to fight. finding a hypocrite, howver, is a different game. and even then, it's not them you're fighting, it's all the things they've learned, it's their contraty beliefs, it's lies, it's deceit, it's satan masquarading as an angel of light.

but the solution is not to focus on everyone else. we need to take some plank-removing classes first, so that we can properly see. everyone's impairment is a mote to someone else, but it's a personal plank. and you can't see for shit with it in your eye.

what's the solution, then? stay tuned, because understanding The Law of Grace will perhaps lay the groundwork for what we have to do.
