 Shit...
This is terrifying. 
How does one find ways to contribute to the liberation of so many of our persecuted and prosecuted brothers and sisters?
I am  honestly scared by the realization that Jesus wasn't the first nor the last sacrifice lamb, socially & politically speaking.
I'm not trying to undermine the spirituality of it. But we know that the evil doesn't only lurk. It pounces, destroys, feeds, and prides on  its path of destruction. 
Have we not seen military higher-ups be proud of their genocidal & civilian-killing missions? Bending any set of nobel values to fit their maniacal ethics?
This is troubling. 
But....
Do I live in the prison of my own making, complying to their every rule, or do I die in their prison for trying to live and thrive in a community that attempts to be free?
