RT @nick_routledge: @GabrielSaidR In Church, Mosque or Temple, which topics are deigned to remain inconsequential? Moltmann, no less, avers messianology a core derogation of all systems existentially beholden to endlessly postponing the judgment they announce. No matter. Nothing eclipses the Day of the Messiah.

Copy of tweet here: and 2/ His invocation, democratic. Moltmann avers: "Theology is the business of all God’s people." Moses went further, of course: "Would to God that all the Lord’s people were Prophets." The hermaneutic of @unitethepoor, then? Inclusive, universal, planetary, prophetic, interruptive. Thank you. If 'liberation theology is theology that liberates theology to liberate', then the interruptive ontology of an 'irruption of the poor' frees us from the containment of base, integral religious and political hegemony in a Day of universal, unifying liberation. 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 here: Exactly. The functional totalitarianism of an interlocking, global, techno-industrial control-complex serving the weaponized exceptionalism of elite structures of power profitably and militantly vested in a form of Final Solution to unmanageable social tensions and inequalities. 2/ It's now endemic, of course, the devastating obscenity of a global militarist-media complex wedded through pen and sword to a universalized form of psychotic exceptionalism and its diabolical consecration of a terror war endlessly targeting internal scapegoat and foreign foe.
