What utter tripe.
[quote="god"]"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:38:45 RSV)[/quote]
Docile subservience is what they would want us to believe. “Turn the other cheek- be good now and your enemies will be subject to “god””. Absolute rubbish.
How obvious can it get that mainstream Christianity is the opposite of right (and White)? The whole ‘do nothing and let “god” sort it out is tom-foolery.
Let us put away the "Ten Commandments" and put on
European Folkway Beliefs: (http://www.runestone.org/flash/home.html)
The world is good. Prosperity is good. Life is good, and we should live it with joy and enthusiasm.
We are free to shape our lives to the extent allowed by our skill, courage, and might. There is no predestination, no fatalism, no limitations imposed by the will of any external deity.
We do not need salvation. All we need is the freedom to face our destiny with courage and honor.
We are connected to all our ancestors. They are a part of us. We in turn will be a part of our descendants.
We are also linked to all our living kin - to our families and to every man and woman rooted in the tribes of Europe. They are our "greater family."
We are connected to Nature and subject to its laws. The Holy Powers often express themselves in Nature's beauty and might.
We believe that morality does not depend on commandments, but rather arises from the dignity and honor of the noble-minded man and woman.
We do not fear the Holy Powers, or consider ourselves their slaves. On the contrary, we share community and fellowship with the Divine. The Holy Powers encourage us to grow and advance to higher levels.
We honor the Holy Powers under the names given them by our Germanic/Norse ancestors.
We practice Asatru by honoring the turning of the seasons…the ancestors…the Divine…and ourselves - in everyday life.
