Starting the Pissed Off Pacificist blog. Which is not actually the start of my ranting and raving about the state of things in the world from a seeker of peace. It's just a more appropriate place for it, I suppose.
My goals for this are to stimulate dialogue, and to not go completely insane with the daily turn of events. I'm going to try to keep this non-partisan, but to be honest, my rage is really directed to the religious right who claim we're a Christian country but still won't take care of the poor, take care of the sick, or steward our environment.
I'm more disappointed in the left than outraged, at this point. And at the end of the day, it can be hard to tell the difference between a Republican lobbyist and Democratic lobbyist. And besides, the problems we face right now are SO MUCH BIGGER than party politics.
Which is why I'm pissed off...
But much more about that later. As for being a "pacifist" I'll say that I'm human, prone to being contradictory and falling short but seeking peace to me is a practice, kinda like "following Jesus" is a practice for a lot of people. The fact is, Jesus WAS a pacifist. You could even say the perfect example of a pacifist.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
