Interesting Podcast On Modern Human Sacrifice

[jediwill83]

Ive been feeling a bit disconcerted about war/violence and the modern churches mindset on such things.


Of the entire incarcerated population worldwide the U.S holds 20% on its own.


Kinda bothersome to me when I have been raised to believe that Im in the land of the free the home of the brave.


Taking the words of Jesus on face value about how we should treat enemies...its hard for me to justify war/mass incarceration for profit.


Endless war and bloodshed as well and an increasingly militaristic mindset from law enforcement has troubled me as well



I began to wonder if there was a connection between state sponsored death/torture and pagan human sacrifice and the different forms it took and it looks like Im not the only one making that connection.


Look, even if you are a staunch pro cop/military supporter no matter what...listen to this podcast please.


Its an extremely eye opening journey that deals with societal "scape goats" and the group catharsis that comes when we focus our anger,frustration on outcast members of society and the work of Christ that turned that paradigm on its ear.
