For Christ's Sake!!!

An impassioned plea for people to wake up.

For Christ's sake!

People get angry over a cartoon dog dying (a CARTOON DOG, mind you), but are apathetic to animals being cruelly tortured.. 

Apathetic to the starving animals in the street and the abandoned ones that need homes

But, God forbid, a cartoon dog dies on a popular show and all hell breaks loose.

 

For Christ's sake!

People celebrate a day of thanksgiving, then turn around, fight and trample others for the name of a bargain

People praise Jesus, then turn around and go out to eat, while millions world wide are starving

People talk of the poor with pity while blaming them

"Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?"

 

For Christ's sake!

Politicians talk of cutting aid to the poor and needy

Politicians refuse to take a cut for themselves

Politicians eat caviar and drink the best wine and alcohol

While laughing up on Capitol Hill,

And proclaiming Jesus as Lord

 

For Christ's sake!

People support these politicians

In oppressing a part of the community for who they love

In taking from the poor and needy

All in the name of Jesus

Spouting personal responsibility for the poor

Saying the state owes them nothing

Ignoring how the nations will be judged..

"Whatever you do unto the least of your brothers and sisters, you do unto Me."

 

For Christ's sake!

Have we truly gotten so far lost

That it is more important to get a good deal

On an item that is made out of slave labor

On an item that is tested on a helpless animal

That it is more important to pay lower taxes?

So the rich can get richer

and the poor can get sick, starve, and die?

That we have to oppress a whole group of people

for who they love?

All in the name of Christ?

 

For Christ's sake..

Open your eyes and look with love

Look with compassion and see the Truth

This is not the way of Christ.

This is the way of evil

and we must turn from it

because all will be lost if we do not.

 

For Christ's sake..

Believers should stand with those of other faiths

Believers should not fear those who are different

but embrace them..

the poor and sick should be embraced..

Mercy and compassion shown to prisoners..

"What you do unto the least of your brothers and sisters, you do unto Me."

 

For Christ's sake..

"Beware of whom you entertain..

For it may be angels unseen."
