RT @nick_routledge: @ncolloff Or, in a modern idiom, Terence McKenna: "A mature humanity could get to a place where we no longer require these metaphysical spankings from messiahs and flying saucers." So, the nations a drop from a bucket and dust on the scales, and the Messiah laying the planetary smack down.

Copy of tweet here: And, Fintan O’Toole: "A false notion of greatness must be given a decent burial. If there is really to be a new creation, there must be no doubt that the old world is dead." And Benjamin: “The Messiah comes not only as the redeemer, he also comes as the vanquisher of Antichrist.” If I may interject? “The ways of history do not lead directly upwards to the Kingdom of God, they pass by way of the final unveiling of the anti-Christ who conceals himself under the last mask to be stripped away - the mask of what is good and what is Christian.” - von Balthasar Moltmann: "Judgment is not the last thing of all. What is last and final is the blessing of the new creation in which righteousness and justice dwells"; the solidarity of social and planetary renewal; the simultaneity of human and earthly resurrection; 'the best is yet to come.'
@nils_gilman @infopank 'Genocide tolerator'? @Calcalistech estimates the Administration has funded roughly 70% of Israel's war costs since Oct 7. The election offered us what? Listen. In terms of planetary reality, a demonic complex. Or do you have it that radical evil is a realistic political choice?

I'm reminded of Twain's, "You don't get the government you want: you get the government you deserve," and, ultimately, of course, the comeuppance of a Reckoning Day.

What if more folk staying home than voting for either candidate amounted to an authentic win for a fundamental shift in approach? Why bet on the losing horse in a one horse race, after all? Or do you have it that radical evil is a realistic Christian choice? t.co/QCp5Qh4fVm
