@coffeephilosoph @pauljpastor Precisely. Where the Eschatological Event - by no means a peculiarly Christian phenomenon - ends the cosy, exceptionalist, privilege defining that particular moral code and the perpetual oppression of the world's poor its symbiotic religio-secular apologetics blindly sanction.

Copy of tweet thread here: Forgiveness does not mean assuming a position of superiority and putting up with or tolerating behavior in another person that we do not like. Forgiveness means correcting our misperception that the other person harmed us.~Gerald G. Jampolsky I know Jampolsky was considered a giant but that second sentence sounds as though it issues from a shrink in Sausalito and not a Syrian torture dungeon. Perhaps forgiveness would be a rich theme to explore further, here.

Copy of tweet: Ultimately, the Hour isn't a promise to comparative theologians such as ourselves, but to the world's poor - of the revelation and liberation of a realm and reign of truth transcending all fictions and polemics sustaining secular, as much as religious, tyranny and division. Copy of tweet and quote tweet: @nick_routledge #WorldDayofthePoor “The poor are all those who have to endure acts of violence and acts of injustice without being able to defend themselves.” @RevDrBarber “Who shall prevent the epidemic of injustice that no Court of Justice is capable of stopping?” #AJHeschel @UniteThePoor Quote Tweet Nick Routledge @nick_routledge "The masses of people live with their backs constantly against the wall. They are the poor, the disinherited, the dispossessed. What does our religion say to them?" - #HowardThurman @UniteThePoor
