Why
If you read the newspaper with care, if you read the small articles--the ones that don't report the "In" news, you'll spot some alarming trends.
Anti-semitism is on the rise in Europe. Today I read of anti-Semitism in New Zealand. A few politicians, seemingly with impunity, disparaged the Other. That other may be a Jew, an immigrant, a person of color.
Today when I came out of our local CVS a national political cult had set up a table twenty feet away from the entrance to the store. Their rhetoric, filled with hateful slogans. The workers, all young, were part of a planned youth movement. They wrap themselves up in conspiracy theories, compare the present administration to the Nazis.
It goes on and on. Any little difference may lead to excluding the other, or genocide. Today we read of people who left their homes and sought shelter on a mountain-- away from a group with differing religious views.
I think God cries.
