WIST Quotations

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

   According to the theologians, God, the Father of us all, wrote a letter to his children. The children have always differed somewhat as to the meaning of this letter. In consequence of these honest differences, these brothers began to cut out each other’s hearts.
   In every land, where this letter from God has been read, the children to whom and for whom it was written have been filled with hatred and malice. They have imprisoned and murdered each other, and the wives and children of each other. In the name of God every possible crime has been committed, every conceivable outrage has been perpetrated. Brave men, tender and loving women, beautiful girls, and prattling babes have been exterminated in the name of Jesus Christ.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1874-05-03), “Heretics and Heresies,” Free Religious Society, Kingsbury Hall, Chicago

"10. Hegseth, a Christian Reconstructionist, believes that Americans should be governed not by law or by the Constitution but by God -- as interpreted of course by Hegseth and his friends.

11. Hegseth calls for a 'holy war' and a 'crusade' against Americans who think differently than he does because 'God wills it.' Trump is the pretext: Hegseth wants 'to make crusade great again."'

"2. Hegseth has zero notion of which other countries might threaten America or how. In his books this is simply not a subject, beyond a few clichés.

3. Hegseth does not believe in alliances. For him, 'NATO is a great example of dumb globalism.'

4. Hegseth wants a political army that bans women from combat roles, is purged of 'cowardly generals,' and is anti-woke."

When Timothy Snyder speaks, I listen. Today, he outlines how Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth represents 13 steps to national destruction. Here's the posting in toto:

"1. Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, has no qualifications for the job. He has never run a large organization and has no national security expertise."

The Crusades were a series of medieval-era military expeditions sanctioned by the #Catholic Church to conquer religiously significant territories in the Eastern Mediterranean. Yes, the followers of so-called "religions of peace" openly stated that they would kill millions to keep the Holy Land in the hands of their religion.

That great and much publicized biblical text, John 3:16, came up in the church’s lectionary this Lent, as many worshippers may recall. Here it is, in part: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son…”

A quotation from Montesquieu, Baron de:

«
I admit that history is filled with religious wars, but let us be careful here, for it is not the multiplicity of religions which has produced these wars, but the spirit of intolerance stirring those who believed themselves to be in a dominant position.

"The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has been a vehicle for promoting hate of Ukrainians. Their leader, Patriarch Kirill, fanned the flames of hatred less than two weeks after the invasion when he justified the war on the grounds of a metaphysical battle between good and evil."
